Alopecia areata is a common cause of hair loss. It can happen to anyone, at any age. Usually causing small round patches of hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere on the body, alopecia can be devastating. Sadly, we live in a culture which places lustrous hair on a pedestal.
Here, we celebrate the incredible individuals who are raising awareness of the condition and drawing attention to the fact that hair does not equal beauty.
