Ricki Lake has been 'suffering mostly in silence off and on' for nearly 30 years about her hair loss. The actress revealed her secret Wednesday.

“I got used to wearing extensions, really just over the last decade. All different kinds, tried them all, the ones that are glued on, the tape-ins, the clip ins, and then into a total hair system that I hated, and finally to a unique solution that really did work pretty well for me for the last 4 or 5 years,” she wrote.

“I tried wigs on a few occasions but never could get used to them. It all felt fake and I was super self-conscious and uncomfortable. I’ve been to many doctors, gotten steroid shots in my head, taking all the supplements and then some. My hair would recover and then shed again. It was maddening.” Her fans responded on social media with an outpouring of support; some called her “courageous” and “beautiful” and others simply posted heart emojis.

With her truth finally out in the world, Lake said she is starting the decade feeling “liberated and free.”

No one cares that a 1990s talk show host is loosing her hair and wants to take her own life over it. Get help lady.

Yes, don't laugh -- put together any three tv-worthy women -- everyone has good hair. Lots of hair in women is a predictor of a public career. 🙃😄

Seriously ?! Leave this for People, or HuffPo or Vogue. We might have just started WW3. Not the time. Read the room.

The US instigated war with Iran.

I JUST PULLED OUT ALL MY HAIR IN THE LAST HOUR, RICKI. SO THERE’S THAT.

It's no fun losing your hair. 'Hell' seems like a bit of a reach. Try arthritis.
