'Real Housewives of New York City' Star Jenna Lyons Has Fake Hair and Teeth Due to Genetic Disorder.
What Jenna Lyons Learned About Herself Through Her Battle with Incontinentia Pigmenti
Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, or incontinentia pigmenti, is a genetic condition that has affected the appearance of "The Real Housewives of New York City" star Jenna Lyons, 55, her entire life. Lyons discussed her condition in a frank interview on The View. Lyons has shed light on the genetic disorder that has profoundly affected her life by revealing that her hair, teeth, and eyelashes are all fake.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, incontinentia pigmenti is an inherited condition that causes skin and other body systems to deteriorate over time. For Lyons, this has meant dealing with the discomforts of using prosthetics for her hair, teeth, and eyelashes and hiding scars on her body.
I have no natural teeth at all. Lyons said, "I paid a lot of money for them," during the interview. "Even my hair is a synthetic. My ability to remove it exists. It resembles a hat in appearance. A wig this is not.
The reality star revealed that she was uncomfortable with her physical appearance, prompting her to investigate the world of fashion. She took comfort in the emancipatory potential of fashion in her quest to enhance her outward appearance and internal sense of well-being. After finding it difficult to find natural-looking false eyelashes, she was motivated to launch her own product line under the name Love Seen.
Lyons' condition severely lowered her confidence and made her feel out of place socially. Nonetheless, she found strength in fashion, realizing that it has the power to alter one's sense of self-worth. She said, "It can be magical," in an interview with The Guardian in 2012.
Her experience illustrates the need for more diversity and acceptance in the fashion and beauty industries, where people with conditions like incontinentia pigmenti should have access to options that meet their individual requirements and preferences.
Jenna Lyons is a role model for those who are going through tough times because of her willingness to share her story. She is an inspiration to those who are also struggling to accept themselves because of her honesty and resolve.
Season 14 of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New York City" features Jenna Lyons, who you can watch on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
