Letting Myself Go Bald | (Alopecia Update 2022)

[@Pythiadream]

You've made so much growth for yourself Shannon. I know it doesn't mean a whole lot from some rando on the internet but you should give yourself so much love and care for the person you've become. You're so strong and you convey that so well through your arts and music. Keep moving forward 💖

[@HeyThereImShannon]

Thank you so much Kaylee, it really does mean a lot- especially what you said about conveying emotion through my music

[@yokijane_]

"If I'm a bald bitch by nature then that's who the fuck I am I'm a bad ass bald bitch" YES SHANNON YOU FUCKING SAID IT!!!

[@vernondavis6095]

you go girl no law says you must have hair

[@juliannam6884]

Shannon ily I just turned 25 too, and in the 7 years I've been watching your channel I've been diagnosed with lupus, put on chemo, and am now losing my hair to the point where I'm about to have to shave it all off. Seeing you helps me cope with it bc it makes me feel not as alone and it's inspiring to see another bald baddie my age!!

[@KarinaCappucci]

Hey Shannon, I don't have alopecia but I've struggled with trichotillomania for years and you have helped me feel less self-conscious about having bald spots. Thank YOU for everything you do. ❤️

[@CookieCashmere]

Girl, hell yeah. Proud of you. I cut the back of my hair off when my aunt started losing the back of her hair due to Alopecia when she was diagnosed with Lupus. Lupus is an auto immune disease as well. I keep my undercut because I like it & to show my support to her because 'tis where my aunts hair thins and falls out, the nape of hers, too. She keeps it in a bob now. I've been with her to get injections, too and they're a struggle to go though. She hasn't gotten them nearly as much of course, so I commend you for it for so many years because I've seen what getting them takes. My sympathy & empathy goes out to you, keep up being you.

[@88mph85]

With or without hair, you have always had one of the best structured faces I've seen. Literally so pretty, I'm jealous 😭

[@kristinaoakes8636]

this video hits me so personally, you have no idea. i got diagnosed with alopecia last year while i was finishing my senior year of high school and i shaved my head two weeks ago. it’s been crazy but i feel more confident now than i have felt this past year trying to hide it. i can’t even put into words how validated i feel after watching this video. keep up this content please 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@MarcsVlogVids]

As someone who's been rocking the buzzcut for the last 20+ years, welcome to the club. For me thinning hair happened over a short period of time, and I wasn't ready for it.

[@teresana21]

I'm so happy to see this. I've always struggled with eczema, which has started taking over part of my scalp. More recently it's started to cause thinning and breakage/hair loss. Seeing this reminded me that there's shame and pain I'm dealing with that I've become accustomed to, but that I am also beautiful, like you- that I need to remember to love myself and make the healthiest decisions for myself. Improvement and management is a journey. Thank you for the reminder. I wish you the best.

[@koaliia1390]

Congrats on the mental growth Shannon! You were able to pull off a shaved head back then and you still are now! Thank you for educating us all these years 🖤

[@indica_nail_artist_6363]

You really do have the face that could pull off a bald head, I mean any girl really could but you just have that look that could pull it off with style, like Chloe bean you both pull off the bald head so good, and they make bomb wigs you could change your hair everyday if you wanted to, you got this and I promise most of us wouldn't look at you weird❤️❤️

[@brooke.so.scorpio5266]

I’ve been watching you since MDE and I’ve always been most proud of your progress with your self confidence especially you have grown so much! And you look so much happier 💕

[@AlyssaWharton]

I can't wait to see you bald and looking like a badass. You make everything look amazing 💕😍

[@HeyThereImShannon]

Aw, Alyssa! I'm excited too. Half excited, half nervous. :) love you!!

[@AlyssaWharton]

@@HeyThereImShannon love you, don't worry it will look great!!

[@Violet_Lemonade]

Hey girl, you are awesome for sharing this. I don't personally know what it is like to have this condition, but you are awesome for sharing this. Love you, peace be with you, and stay solid. ❤️

[@cindieblocks]

I’m so happy you’re able to get off injections and be yourself authentically. I have Crohn’s disease so I have to get injections in my stomach every other week, I can’t get off or else my body will deteriorate and I’ll die o_o no other meds works to help me. It makes me happy to see someone else being able to get off any kind of injections and just live their life. Also I know you’re going to rock shaving your head, you look amazing no matter what girly!

[@jetleclaire5868]

I'm so proud of you! I'm glad you've learned how to live with it

[@grav3yardbaby]

I've been watching your videos for at least 7 years dude. I'm like a year younger than you, but you have definitely helped me be myself and not give a fuck lol. Thanks for being open and honest and YOU. 🖤❤️🤙

[@wv9459]

Girl I’ve been watching you since the beginning. We love you so much! You’re beautiful and I’m glad you’re loving yourself

[@kalebrosetaylor]

Honestly, good for you Shannon. God bless you. I hope you are able to find so much peace and confidence with yourself 🖤

[@zeroandjiji]

I missed your channel so much! I use to watch your videos a lot when I was in high school and you helped me get through a lot of horrible things that happened in my past. You have always been an inspiration and you continue to remain an inspiration! We all love and support you and always will ❤ Thanks for all of the laughter and good times you've brought me, it feels like im talking to an old friend i've always known every time I watch your videos and it's so comforting 😭

[@v4mpire_doll]

I've always struggled with my own hairloss, you have no idea how much you've been my comfort KZbinr

[@BeautyLilly28]

Hey Shannon, idk if you will see this but I have had alopecia since i was seven. I found your channel when i was 12 and you were the first person I saw with a platform who had it. I am 21 now and this year it finally got so bad i shaved my head a month back. I know you had a bad experience last time but when you do it as a choice for yourself and not for others it is liberating. Some days I still get self conscious since my natural hair is really dark so my bald patches are very noticeable, but those days I wear a wig which i admit is rly fun. All the love to you and I hope this time around its a better experience. (PS i did 5 rounds of those injections they didnt work for me but fuckkk they really do hurt like hell)

[@MadisonGentz]

I have muscle atrophy on my hip caused by a back brace, and it didn’t 100% fill back in. I wish your scalp luck!

[@gabbytanner5994]

I'm so happy you popped back up on my suggested videos, I remember finding your channel when I was younger and struggling with my alopecia. I'm glad you have grown to this point, I shaved my hair off a year ago, and it's the best thing I ever did. I look forward to your video! You're such a strong person for deciding to do it again! 💚

[@Yungkingstonn]

Atleast you are blessed with good looks 🙏 you can pull off anything!

[@killlerpikachu]

I learned about Alopecia from you years ago. Thank you for educating us and I'm so happy to see your personal growth. You're beautiful with or without hair ❤

[@Sylver2019]

I can't wait for bald Shannon 2022!!! I love watching your videos so much. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I've loved seeing you blossom throughout the years, you've helped me through some difficult things and I'm so thankful for that.

[@themidnightbat]

I stan my bald queen, Shannon 💖✨ So proud of you girl!✨💖

[@withdrawn_illustrator356]

I love you so much Shannon. You are amazing and I hope life is treating you with what you deserve. Which is the world

[@HeyThereImShannon]

I love you too :')

[@brunnenvergifter]

you know what? hair isnt everything as long as you are healthy in general! you are a beautiful person no matter if you have hair or not :)

[@juliegrossman-13]

You are such a beautiful person no matter what so rock being bald, you have all our support. Plus if you really want to have hair, there's always wigs to wear but other than that hair isn't the only thing that define who we are as a person.

[@robertr9387]

Love your honesty, self assurance and acceptance to who you are. The treatments sound horrific and I admire the bravery you possess, I'm not sure I could have done that.

[@demonicempress3966]

Hi Shannon, I'm been watching your journey for years and seeing this video now. I'm so proud of you, you've grown so much. I wish you the bestest luck.

[@internetpersona9057]

you are so gorgeous!! also you are GLOWING

[@xoSharpShootaox]

Shannon 💖 I've watched your videos for a long time! Can I just say... girl you are glowing. You are amazing. You are BEAUTIFUL 💖 hair doesn't define you you are beautiful with or without! You do what's best for you, best for your health! Girl we love you 💖💖💖 xxx

[@pixieeames9105]

Oh I missed these videos, just you being you rambling and doing your thing, missed you💕

[@aprilarroyo1074]

ive been losing hair snice i got out of high school and its such a pain. Its never easy for girls but atleast now and days wigs are more normal now then it was back a few years ago. So maybe one day i'll shave it off, but until till then I'll use your strength from your video

[@hayleeTC]

You've got this, Shannon! Stay strong and I wish you the very best of luck and health 😊

[@breannafreeman5520]

It's been a joy to watch the changes you've gone through on your channel over the years! I also have to ask, what is that gorgeous color on your nails?! It's so hard finding good vampy colors, and I can never get enough of them.

[@stewartmatthews1551]

It is good to see you Shannon very sorry to hear that you have suffered hair loss for a long time but you know Shannon I love you no matter what you look like hair no hair you are still beautiful no matter what

[@pearq9748]

im 18 and i never realized how long i’ve watched your videos and known of you. i remember when you posted the first head shaving video and i remember watching you before that

[@HeyThereImShannon]

Thank you for sticking with me through so many years :)

[@blondie9909]

Holy shit yeaaaaah tattoo ur head! It will look sooo cool and even if u decide to let ur hair grow again its gonna be real cool to have the hair and then tiny glimpses of the design peeking through it

[@marlenalovas1563]

I'm so glad you're back!

[@maris.8664]

Your skin looks amazing! You should do a skincare routine video!

[@n.w.c.29ah]

Good for you no one should care what anyone looks like period but that's how people think and its honestly not worth losing sleep over frfr so rock out enjoy life

[@Irsalinaismaida]

Thank you Shannon 🖤 Means a lot to me for you to share with us.

[@celestebrockell6438]

You ARE badass Shannon and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!! Love you girl!! ❤️

[@mentalhealthwithalana]

You are so so beautiful with and without hair! I've watched your channel for years and I can't imagine having to deal with the physical, mental and emotional pain you would have had to deal with through your journey. I wish you all the best and I hope you are able to find a better solution 😊 I love your tattoos as well BTW 😍

[@EpicEmilyyx3]

Can't wait to see the tattoo you get! It's gonna look awesome.

[@delutix]

Been here since the first one, you've grown so much. Love you lots ♡♡

[@CyndiHilston]

I admire you. You're an inspiration. ❤

[@personified3500]

You seem so much happier! Love you

[@Chemical_hex]

Head tats are going to look so good on you!

[@GlamSeamless-hair-extensions]

You are beautiful and such an inspiration!

[@Somethingcatchier]

Okay, I had to quickly pause this video to comment this before I finish the video. You are very beautiful Shannon and I have thought that ever since I first saw you on mde and there’s been moments I’ve been low key jealous, but honestly everybody has beauty but it’s hard sometimes to see it in ourselves. Others tell me I’m pretty all the time but I think I have body dismorphia ha ha. Either way, just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful:)

[@Fox-GloveCreations]

I've suffered from alopecia areata since I was 16, and I used to be embarrassed about my bald patches. Now it's a minor inconvenience, I started shaving my head during covid and realised that I'm more confident with a shaved head. I know I can cope if I start losing hair again, and I'm not afraid of shaving my head completely.

[@SarahRenniexoxo]

I don't have alopecia but I do get steroid injections for my Arthritis and the divets that formed in my thigh were insane and I had to end up getting them tattooed over! You're so strong lovely for speaking out about this!

[@meagsmarriott]

My Alopecia has recently come back 😢 and I’ve been very down about it lately as my wedding is in August this year 😭 such bad timing huh 😢😢 thank you for your video’s though they help me a lot. Hope your hair is going ok at the moment Shannon xx

[@freddiebud571]

Kudos for being a real trooper! Much admiration for you always. 💜✌

[@vicquesadilla2276]

I turn 25’in November ! Happy earth birthday !

[@tarynriver]

I have hashimotos which causes weight gain and sometimes alopecia amongst a whole host of other things I don’t have bald spots like yours but every time I go in the shower my hair just comes out in chunks thanks for this vid cause that’s my biggest fear and you make it seem like it’s nbd

[@The_Wandering_Nook]

Cant wait for the shaving video. I'm trying to shave my head on my own but i can't find any interesting ones and yours are fun so can't wait! 🖤☠

[@andreaolesya3303]

I aspire to have your confidence and mindset. Also, you'd look badass with head tattoos.

[@gooblesgoonles]

I have psoriasis and god steroids sucks, glad you are doing what's best for you ♥️

[@knightdeathlyhallows]

We love you as you are 💗

[@AlexSpectacular]

i was losing hair from ocd/anxiety cause i pick my scalp aggressively; mentally i felt so disgusting. it's nowhere near the same as your situation, but it is a bit inspiring to see you be so badass through it all.

[@radiostatic]

Way to fucking go, Shannon!

[@Sequoiassunflowers]

Vanessa vandalism was the only other KZbin scene queen I knew of. That's why when I found you I was like oh heck yeh another beautiful bald girl! I was a bald bitch too hahaha but I had trichotillomania

[@jasperlaszlolavey.2364]

You got this Shannon.

[@1wavemediaOC]

You go girl! 💗

[@antoniosnyder6192]

You are so beautiful, you don't need hair to be pretty, I hope the cream works well for you but if it doesn't wigs are always an option if you want hair, but as I said it's not necessary plus a head tattoo would be so badass!!

[@elizabethgerrity774]

I have been dealing with alopecia for a little over two years now, definitely gets worse with anxiety and stress. The injections are awful! I have asked my dermatologist about the “cream”, I use minoxidil (topically) and have some sparse white hair coming back. I really want to try propecia/finesteride(sp?). Have you tried it? Is that what is in the cream? You are absolutely gorgeous with AND without hair! I’m not ready to shave my head yet but…you go girl!!! Would 💓 to know the name of the cream you will be using 😬

[@ericka5630_]

Yaaaassss, you're a beautiful bald badass baddie 😍😄💜💜💜

[@Violet_Lemonade]

Also, I am a cancer as well. July 19th is my birthday, so happy early birthday. 😁

[@nicoletiana]

I shaved my head bald a few days ago bc of trich and documented it, i have a lot of videos on my channel about it. it's so freeing and liberating.

[@antoniosnyder6192]

I love your mystery machine tattoo

Dude ur gonna rock the bald. Plus there’s always wigs !!!!

[@samikat2562]

Thank you sm for making these videos. I have had diffuse AA for about 2 yrs now. The shots are AWFUL. But I knew what to expect, from your videos. It made me feel not as alone. Thanks ❤️ I’m to the point where I might just let myself go bald too. #baldbitchsunite

[@HRwoeking]

The only person I’d ever known with alopecia was my grandmother and she had the WORST health service wig. She never wore it at home, she wore a lot of folk hair scarves, but I just think of how miserable it made her. The wig. Not the hair loss. She wore it to “look normal” but it was so bad it was never going to. She would be so proud of people like you, like, yea- you have this condition but it’s not going to stop you doing anything. I understand the mental turmoil people have with being bald. BUT I will say, if I see a girl with no hair my first thought is usually how bloody cool she is. Regardless of WHY she’s bald (there’s a girl in my village. I have a massive girl crush on her. She just carries herself so confidently with no hair) plus. Head tats? Yes please. I’ve seen so many GORGEOUS bits of art. (& some really crappy ink. Let’s not talk about that)

[@HRwoeking]

Also. Fun fact. I got put on a blood pressure medication - Spironolactone (for actual blood pressure reasons. I have a tumour which causes my bp to go crazy) & one of its side effects is that it causes hair loss. Why do bp meds affect the body like that? I think it’s because they are steroids. . .

[@maryoconnor435]

i also have alopecia areata. its very upsetting and makes me sad when i find bald spots.

That’s like me I’m 32 and was born with severely brittle type 1 diabetes and I’m insulin dependent my pancreas makes no insulin at all I take up to 6 shot a day because I always run extra high ( 600 and over most of the time) so because I was born with it and am now 32 i do t even know how many shot that is in 32 years lol! Not even mentioning that I’ve spent my entire life in and out of the hospital so the hospital is my second home and my veins are so tiny that they blow constantly and are extremely hard to start IVs or even get blood out of they roll they blow they infiltrate and yell and normally one person will try three times to start an IV and or take blood and if that person can’t get it then they send another person and that person can’t get it they send in another person with an ultrasound machine or a vein finder and if that doesn’t work which lately it hasn’t been working they go for my feet and if my feet don’t work recently I woke up after having a seizure to Having an IV put into my neck and another time after having a seizure yet again I woke up with a pick line in my chest so yeah I know what needles are like lol and I don’t even know how many needles I’ve dealt with my whole life I’ve never even bother to try to count! and lately my health has declined severely way worse than it’s ever been and I’ve started losing my hair and spots around my head so I don’t know what’s going on with that I need to do the doctors so now I’m like well shit I think my mom has alopecia though she has multiple sclerosis and cardiomyopathy but within the past like five or six years her hair has been severely severely thinning at the top to where you can see her scalp in the sunlight and then when she take a shower it’s even worse she’s been trying to find like one of those hair pieces that go just like on the top and blend in with your hair but she doesn’t have enough Full hair on top of her head for like extensions or anything so it would have to be some kind of topper or something but yeah I’ve been trying to help her and she refuses to do the ball thing I told her she could just wear wigs and she wants to try that out before anything else so also I’m sorry for the no punctuation I am literally using Siri to text for me and for some reason she is not doing auto punctuation like I asked her to Lol
