Lacy West on living with MS, the Laced Hair legacy, and why dry shampoo has to go

Lacy likes to say, "I'm a stylist by trade and a CEO by accident." Founder and CEO of Laced Hair Extensions, a globally recognized, multi-million dollar company, Lacy Gadegaard West is innovatively transforming the professional hair industry. She's also the founder of The Laced Hair Foundation, a purpose-driven non-profit dedicated to donating hair extensions to suffering women and giving hope when it’s needed most. Featured in Forbes, Mane Addicts, and Bustle (to name a few), this head-turning hair movement is seen, used, and loved by iconic stylists, Hollywood celebrities, and the world’s top influencers. Laced Hair Extensions have been featured on Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as covered by Cosmopolitan and Glamour, Behind The Chair Hair Show, Swim Week in Miami, and other premier runway events. We talk with Lacy about building and running her business as a then-single mom, how she handles online bullies and trolls, and she opens up about her MS diagnosis and the community she's fostered from it. Don't miss her hot take on dry shampoo, and what haircut she recommends for Madi's crazy mane.
