Megan's story made me feel so much better, when her video came out I'd just been diagnosed with cancer and to hear how she handled it made me feel like I could. I'm currently in the stage of hair regrowth that looks a bit like an outgrown mullet which is a bit weird but it is growing back so I'm very lucky.

Do you think is is really impossible? Sometimes things like becoming pregnant are automatically make you a protected class, so as an employer if I truly needed to fire someone, I would make sure there are multiple reasons and that I actually needed to fire them. I feel like the burden would be on the employer to prove the reasons for firing, not on the employee to prove it isn't related to a protected status. Especially if she was part of the cast and the shows were great, I can't imagine how firing a single cast member suddenly makes the show so much better. In fact it probably makes it harder for the other actors because now everything has to be adjusted. I'm not a lawyer so this is just my opinion but I was under the impression that places don't really fire you unless you're majorly screwing up or they have to lay off people for financial reasons.

I thought that medical reasons like pregnancy are protected even from at will clauses because it falls under discrimination. Hair loss seems like it would be under the Americans with Disabilities Act, right? Maybe this is why people have to go to court though, it isn't 100% clear cut what the laws are

Hi. I know this is just the opinion of some random stranger for you, but I believe being bold can really add something exotic, fantasy or sci-fi to your look. To me, a bald person can be particularly elegant and sophisticated. Stay strong, don't let this defeat you. Look for clothes you like, wear earrings if you want, you can have so many ways to feel beautiful and express yourself trough your appearance even without hair 😊 Edit I just corrected some misspelled words I hadn't noticed!

I went was diagnosed at 4. At first it was hard for me because I had to explain to everyone why I didn’t have hair and what alopecia was because I didn’t really understand what was going on with me myself. My hair had grown back to the point where I could wear braids and when I was 9 my hair was long enough for me to style it but that only lasted for a year and my hair fell out again when I was 10. Only this time it fell out completely to the point where I had no hair at all. I am 14 now and I don’t have enough hair to do anything with but I hope one day it will return.

i'm only fourteen, but i have a scalp condition. i've lost half of my hair.. and for something that used to be what i put my pride in, it's now one of my greatest insecurities. i used to get compliments on my hair; it was thick, silky and long. it's not really long anymore since i cut it because of my hair loss, and it's just not the same. my scalp condition has infected the left side (thank god the right side got better) and its got flakes all over. i can't have certain hairstyles i used have, and i can't be confident about it anymore. i've finally been referred to a dermatologist, but i have to wait until quarantine is over. and it's just getting worse, and i'm scared because you can't get rid of this condition. you can only try to reduce it, and i've used countless of hair products. it just has no effect. edit: i finally got treatment and im a lot better!! i cut my hair a little more than shoulder length and im using treatments 2-3 times a week. flakes, scales n hair loss has really reduced and although im still pessimistic about it, im happy that it's gotten better. thank you guys. 💜

I feel like this video was published at the right time, right now I'm on birth control and my hair is starting to fall out. I cried alot last week and this week because my hair used to be like Megan's hair before chemo, very curly and alot of it, and now I can see my scalp, I can grab all my hair with my two hands and it's just thin boring and sad, and every time I brush it, wash it or even pass my fingers through it, it falls alot of hair. I felt really weak, sad and helpless, but than I thought "it's just hair" it doesn't represent me or the way I am. now after seeing this video ( and Megan's video about her chemo story) I feel encouraged that I'll get through this, and by the end of the day its just hair, and I think anyone who's having the same or a similar experience should not feel bad about it. But of course, we are human beings and it's okay to cry and feel sad,especially about things that can't be manageable or that aren't in our control , maybe you don't see it that way now, but in a near future maybe you will. Lastly, I'm stopping birth control and I'm getting all my hair cut off next week after my birthday (kinda thinking like a Bob or something like that), taking more vitamins and just going day by day. I feel very inspired by your stories, thank you so much.

I went through the same thing when I went OFF birth control (after several years of taking it). I think it just has to do with your body adjusting to a big change in your hormones. I considered getting back on birth control just because of how disheartening the hair loss was. The good news: It got better after about 6 months. I stopped losing so much hair and it came back.

The hardest thing has been coping with the fact that doctors still don't have strong and safe treatments to help the hair loss, and just label it irreversible.

When I was 13, I watched my mom lose all of her hair due to cancer. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever encountered and even without her hair she was so confident and radiant that ever since then, I kind of associate baldness with bravery and being strong. So whenever I see one of you ladies on the street, I can’t help but feel only the greatest love and respect towards you. Living and being different in a society that values woman mostly for their looks, it takes courage to love your “imperfections,, and it makes you all the more admireable in my eyes❤️

I started losing my hair in the 7th and after seeing several doctors I was misdiagnosed which put more stress on me, it took forever for me to convince my mom to let me get a pixie cut but even then it would still fall out. I live in a small town so everyone knew me simply because of my lack of hair. When I was in eleventh grade I had finally had enough and shaved my head. I’m 19 now and I still have trouble with my hair, for the longest I thought I was the only one who had to go though this. I’m still learning how to love myself since I’ve never seen myself as pretty or beautiful but hearing these stories gives me hope that one day I feel comfortable in my own skin.

This is so sad. I’ve lost a lot of hair over the years. It’s getting a bit better though. Every remedy, product, technique, trust me I’ve tried. I blamed it on stress. I used to have hair so full and thick and long people would stop my mom and ask about my hair. I look at my childhood pictures and almost cry because my hair looks so beautiful. It’s hard, because part of me says it’s just hair but the other part can’t help but stare at the mirror and see all the patches.

Do people notice, what will my hair look like in a few months/years. Will this go away will I have to wear a wing. It is hard. Something that helps me is I have a few stages of planning. 1) hair topper 2) rogaine 3) microblading pigment, 4) surgery 5) shave it all off and tattoo a really pretty design maybe lace or henna pattern. 6) a lot of mermaid wings.

I'm losing my hair due to an allergies treatment and it is so damn frustrating to not be able to stop it, I always had a lot of hair, shining and strong but that ended when my allergies got worse and had to star my treatment. I just hope that when this is done, my hair goes back to what it was :( Thank you for this video.

Your stories are so powerful. Beauty to me can't be increased or decreased its just ar times nore obvious to ppl because its what they expect yiur beauty to look like. But in truth it's about our essence. Nothing can take our essence away - so no one can take our beauty away too. It took me a while to realise that.

One never truly know oneself until you shave your hair, or go bald at least once, when I cut all my hair off to start my curly hair journey and left the straight hair behind was when I realized how much of your identity people put on their hair, it was a wake up call for me to love myself no matter what my exterior showed, totaly was more confident after that. Does somebody else have a story? I would love to hear it.

I hope someone sees. My hair was falling like crazy. In clumps. I changed my diet and started to intermittently fast. I also started using a hair oil with coconut oil, jamaican black castor oil, argan oil and olive oil. I would massage my scalp and be extremely gentle with my hair. I used protective hairstyles and gave my hair a chance to breath. I also stopped using harsh shampoos and conditioners. I did everything possible to give my hair a chance to rejuvenate. My hair has stopped falling out and it's getting better every day! If you feel like your hair is what makes you then do what you can to save it. But it's not what makes you a woman. You're beautiful the way you are

Christie, you’re sooo pretty!! after hearing your story, it’s clear that you have a beautiful, strong, and humble personality. Tbh though, if I saw you on the street without your wig and without knowing anything about your story, I’d still think you were so physically gorgeous! I love the way your look combines an objective attractiveness with a unique attractiveness (if that makes sense). Your shots without your wig are perfect, way sexier than most of what we see in media. Thank you so much for sharing 💗

Due to vitamin deficiencies and endocrine problems, half of my hair just broke off around two years ago. It literally just broke off and I was left with a short, thin hair, not able to imagine how I could feel feminine again. It was recently that I started to wear the hijab- an Islamic headcover- as I converted to Islam a few years ago, that I realized I do not have to prove I am beautiful to anyone, for no one in this world is deserving of my beauty in the first place and of the pain that a woman has to endure to meet the unrealistic beauty standards. I am much happier and healthier now that I stopped caring about pleasing everyone else, struggling to be someone pretty to look at. It is enough to be beautiful for my God and for my own self. I'd like all women to know that we are not obliged to look a certain way, we do not have to please anyone's eyes, to prove something to someone, it is completely enough to have a beautiful soul. Beauty is temporary, but love and kindness is not. Praise be to God and may God bless you all. ❤️

In a way it is a horror story because everything (especially their identity) was suddenly taking away from them by a disease. A disease that they have no control on. For a woman loosing hair is a horror because society puts so much value on hair. I am glad now that hair is not such a big deal now.

As a fellow person with alopecia areata - I really related to everything that was being said in the video. I’ve recently decided to shave my head and I feel like something heavy has been lifted up from my chest... like I’ve regained freedom. decided to embrace who I am and that disease is not defying my worth as a person. And to every human out there also struggling with hair lose-try to remember that you are extremely beautiful with or without it. And it’s never gonna change. Trying to accept yourself and love yourself the way you are is gonna bring you far more advantages than hating yourself for things you can’t control. Don’t lose hope. You’re strong and you got this! 🤍

Just silliness! I felt so beautiful for the first time in my life, and that was so powerful for me. I saw so many women who had Alopecia when I was a hair dresser, and needs to be talked about more! Any and all stories about women and hair loss should! It’s normal for men, yet we need to hide it as women. Meh. Thankful you both shared! ❤️❤️

I went through a pretty stressful time last year. I had end of semester exams that took such a toll on me mentally, went through a period of not eating due to stress, and then was nervous about being a month or so away from home... All of that resulted in a bunch of my hair falling out, and caused me to be even MORE stressesd then I already was. It wasn't apparent to others that I was loosing a good amount of hair, but I felt my hair getting thinner and thinner. Seeing the drain after I washed my hair was heart-aching, and combing my hair and seeing the comb loaded with my own hairs brought me to tears. In that short time period of loosing my hair I was a wreck. I felt emotionally drained, depressed, and not myself at all. My hair was a part of me which I was proud of, and I was not ready to let it go. But time spent with friends when I was away from home was what kept a smile on my face, and brought me back to who I was. I was worried less and less about my hair falling out, to a point I didn't even care. I didn't let that stress me anymore, and I am now back to myself. I didn't end up balding or having any patched of missing hair, but I did go to a bunch of doctors fearing the worst. It took time, but my hair loss is now at bay, and I'm back to loosing normal amounts of hair and trying to be less stressed (and not really succeeding actually). Just know that those tough times do come to an end, and if people who love you are there to support you, you can accomplish everything that you set your minds to :)

Megan you and I have the same EXACT hair!!! Like you I HATED my curly hair since childhood because EVERYONE around me had straight straight STRAIGHT hair. It made me jealous so jealous. SO Senior Year I spent it doing highlights, blow-dry, iron, for EVERY EVENT possible. It destroyed my hair, and I destroyed it again when I turned 22 as I decided to do Keratin (again) when I turned 24 I did highlights again until my hair went Platinum Blonde (Like Elsa). After graduation in 2019, I decided to STOP messing with my hair and CUT EVERYTHING!!!! Today I am 26, and I finally get to see my NATURAL hair for the first time in 10 years. Dark brown and CURLY! I swear if I sent you a picture you'd think I made your hair into a wig. Let your Curls FLY

When I had my first and third children, I had very short hair, and didn’t really notice much hair loss, but when I had my second child, I had waist length naturally curly red hair, and a couple weeks after giving birth around 20% of it slid off my head in the shower. This enormous chunk of hair seemed to crawl over my butt and down my leg. I was hysterical, because my grandmother had what looked like male pattern baldness after her third child and it never grew back. Fortunately it did for me - it’s still a bit thin on top, where most of it fell out, but I don’t let that stop me. In the last five years I’ve had waist length flame hair (red, orange and yellow), a scarlet bob, and right now I have a metallic purple pixie cut.

Thank you for posting this seriously I’m going through hair loss right now and you don’t even know how much hearing these two stories help. I’m 22 and got diagnosed with lupus last week and after pretty much a year of being sick all the time and not knowing why I ended up at the hospital thinking that maybe I had contracted Covid but instead I was told probably the last thing I was hoping to hear. I now have to go through chemo as well and my relationship with my hair is very similar to the one Megan had with hers. I had been seeing my hair fall a lot more prior to going into the hospital but now with the chemotherapy I know I will end up losing it all eventually I was planning on shaving it as soon as possible mostly just so I can get used to seeing myself that way and also so I could see what other options I have in case I don’t like it I was planning on using turbans or hair wraps only because I feel like wearing a wig would just show that I need hair to look good and I don’t want that ( but that’s just my opinion). I hope this period of my life is just another chapter and I’ll eventually be able to look and feel like myself again but even if things don’t go back to “normal” I hope my new normal will be as healthy and happy as it can be and will be able to live a long life even if I have to share it with lupus. Again thank you for posting this video and sharing your stories ♥️

I suffered from an eating disorder, and in recovery, I lost a lot of hair. I would clog shower drains, even with drain protectors because of how thin my hair is. Each time I brushed my hair, I had a rat sized ball of hair fall out. It made me want to quit recovery and was so self conscious. I decided to cut most of my hair off, and now I'm finally okay with recovery and all the other body changes that are happening

I thankfully didn’t loss my hair in big patches but I had absolutely no body hair and my actual hair was so very thin. I shaved my head and I became pregnant and it helped my hair grow back. I’m just very scared of having my little girl and my hair falls off once again. I absolutely love how all of y’all share your story.
