[@KawaiiAmaiiKiwii]

This girl is beautiful 💗

[@reasonerenlightened2456]

...because she is proportional and NOT fat.

[@monkeymachine5360]

i was recently diagnosed with alopecia areata. I'm 16 years old and always had very full hair so it is really hard for me at the moment. At the moment it seems like it's growing back and watching those kinds of videos helps me keep a positive mindset like "even if I lose more or all of my hair i can be beautiful and happy"

[@crissycrossed9692]

My daughter Lydia is 8 yrs old and was diagnosed 3 years ago. She has had a tough time coping with her hair loss as well and some days are better than others. Hang in there. *hugs*

[@rayssahora7423]

Jesus Christ bless you and your family!!!! Amen !!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@arina4030]

i’m 19 i was just diagnosed with it i’m losing hair in the back

[@sarahurbanic4703]

As someone who is bald and has alopecia myself, almost everything she said is exactly like my experience as well. She's so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this story and showing how bald is beautiful! :)

[@felixromanoff8046]

you are so strong! this is my sister I will make sure she sees this comment :-)

[@sarahurbanic4703]

Maddie Romanoff thank you so much :)

[@crissycrossed9692]

My 8 year old was diagnosed with alopecia at age 5 and has been on a rollercoaster of emotions from accepting her baldness (she had long beautiful hair) to excessive teasing and bullying. I wish there was a way she could meet other girls with alopecia to give her confidence and remind her of how beautiful she is on days when it is particularly tough to deal with. Any words of encouragement is appreciated. Her name is Lydia and she's in 3rd grade. Since we changed schools, she deals with much less teasing but there's a boy in her class who calls her "cancer girl" and embarrasses her in front the class whenever the teacher steps out. I am arranging a meeting with her teacher but I know this type of thing doesn't stop here. Bald is beautiful and people ought to know that. I just showed Lydia this video while waiting for her school bus to arrive and she left smiling.

#baldisbeautiful I have Alopecia universalis too

[@paulp.4970]

She has the most perfect headshape for a bald head; simply beautiful!

[@peach8909]

My mum has alopecia and she's the most beautiful and inspiring woman in my life

[@emilybrown1.]

I love her outfits what a queen

[@cooleluiaard6959]

Yes

[@JillianShanahan]

I didn't get alopecia until I was an adult, but there is so much I can relate to this- not wanting to take my wig off, hiding my spots, feeling like a badass once I went fully bald, rubbing my head like it was foreign, how learning to do my eyebrows changed my world. Yep. Bald is beautiful. Thanks!

[@rachellecurazzato6148]

SAME!!!

[@maddie7414]

you can tell how mature she is from what she's went through - being different from everyone else was very challenging for her and she's been through a lot. it must have been awful feeling so alone. when she met others like her it's like she found her inner confidence and I think that's beautiful. she's also very pretty she has like the perfect headshape I'm jealous :3

[@wendysgobbo1638]

What a beautiful and amazing young woman!

[@elbob17]

Being bald doesn't make you "amazing."

[@leanderthal2689]

I'm obsessed with bald/shaven headed women. Obsessssssssssssed. I've been like it since I was a child. I always thought it was the coolest, coolest look and it was what I imagined all people would look like in the future. This beautiful human being has such awesome attitude it shouts at you through the screen. Kudos to you my friend, enjoy every second of your life.

[@elbob17]

It's pretty rough.

[@junioranthonyjones5132]

This is an inspiring article. My daughter and I have Alopecia. I can cope with it as a man but my daughter is about to turn 18. Thank you so much for this fantastic piece of work. I intend to share it with my daughter.

[@crybaybie]

Shes so beautiful.... She doesn't need no wigs or hats Gosh her face is also so beautiful

[@KCsFunHouse]

I have Alopecia universalis, it makes me feel empowered as an adult. You realize that your hair isn’t who you are and just how much women end up hiding behind it. I only wish people didn’t feel like they deserve answers to strange questions like “does the carpet match the drapes?” “What cancer treatments are you doing?” Etc... you look beautiful keep rockin the look! #baldisbeautiful

[@SamanthaObrey]

she is so beautiful!! I have alopecia myself and when I was little I myself though that I was the only one like that but seeing so many people on internet talking about​ it and being so confident and care free is so inspiring !! Whoever is going through the same just remember that you're not alone and you can be happy, you can be loved and you can be beautiful even with no hair! 💝

[@TheStacyFosterChannel]

I have this condition too. I'm still trying to adjust because it's not been quite a year yet, but I hope I get there. You are a gorgeous young lady!

She's an eyebrow master

[@TheDoodLbot]

She really is beautiful... and she's got drawing her eyebrows down to a T.

[@susannadanner906]

Honestly, she is beautiful and I get very positive vibes from her. Meanwhile I have quite thick and healthy hair on my head, but can't show my arms, legs, back or belly because I'm too hairy. We all have our problems with ourselves I guess.

[@khadijaahmed993]

her head shape is beautiful

[@Nikki-qi4ki]

I'm just now transitioning to wigs and it's taken a lot of trial and error (and tears) but she gives me the confidence to rock a shaved head with pride :) Good on you honey keep kicking ass!

[@missysvanity1]

I would look like a man bald. she looks feminine and beautiful even without eyebrows

[@Elithia.m]

Same.

[@poppymcdonald7659]

True.

I bet you wouldn't. I thought the same!

You feel like you would but I promise I’ve never felt so beautiful and feminine in my life until I finally lost all my hair to Alopecia.

[@annakatsali1962]

She is the perfect example for showing that societys beauty norms don't defined beauty💪❤

[@marjorielara5024]

I hope I let it "become" the best thing that has ever happened to me,like you did. I'm still hiding the fact that I have alopecia. It's draining me on most days but I guess it will take time to sink in. Thanks for sharing your story. You are an inspiration and encouraging!!!!

[@zoeniemeijer7920]

I think the bald head look suits er so well!! She is absolutely gorgeous

[@nancydipko3172]

Nell, you are incredible! Hope you can see my message! I didn't lose all of my hair until my 50's! The things that you went through really hurt my heart! I too, experience the heat overload of a wig and swimming is always a challenge! I used to read about the alopecia conferences! So wonderful if that's the one you went to in the past! You are an inspiration to me!! Lovely head and shape!! All assets!! Most of all, it is your courage and inner strength that you have created within yourself! These virtues are what so many of us need to build in ourselves!

[@alyssakuhn4054]

[@jennifersheets6527]

I was diagnosed with alopecia at 4 years old lost all my hair when I had my second son at 21 hearing you thought I was hearing myself. Thank you for your braveness. My friend made the comment I could do the bald look I want to do this took me 10 years to accept I'm bald but I'm still missing the confidence I had in myself where I strongly could hold my head up high with the look n walk to go along with it. Maybe going bald is the way

[@buddy-ms4wx]

She's amazingly beautiful, she doesn't need hair at all!

[@edwardwoodaqrd9304]

Baldness shouldn't be a 'thing' to people. It's normal. A bald human is in no way different. Slay girl!

[@gothiexblack5554]

I have Alpopecia as well and growing up I would always have to hide it because if I didn't I was bullied and people would bully me until the day that I attempted suicide. It was hard for me to get into a relationship the guy I am with now witnessed a person ripping off my wig in school and even though he and I were not dating he still stood up for me. I hid in the bathroom and ended up going home because I was scared and did not want to be around people. Now that I am 26 and if that were to happen I would laugh and say you think its going to hurt me yeah its a wig yeah I spent money on it but no I am not upset about it anymore

[@henryzr23]

Brave girl, I admire you.

[@newsforus9254]

[@avivamae5171]

Wow she's so talented at brows! Obviously she looks beyond amazing without the brows but it's very difficult to make your brows look that amazing and natural when you have little or no brow hair.

[@enya5996]

Me too I have alopecia. U are not alone. I dont mind anymore about my boldness

[@johndc498]

Such a beautiful lady who reflects what many people experience. When I lost my hair though Alopcia it was tough initially but after 6 months I made a similar decision and adopted it and now am happy not to have hair. Would love eyebrows and lashes though.

[@CrystalMouse1]

I rock the bald head without eyebrows since they stopped growing. I used to never go anywhere unless I drew them on. Summer was scary because I sweat the brows off. Even the rain gave me anxiety. Now I embrace my baldness and it makes me look more myself. I wear wigs for fun or when I want to change my cyber goth look. But I no longer feel trapped by wigs and makeup

[@johnazek]

She is beautiful..

[@pets4ever259]

I have alopecia as well

[@sandradigras1396]

I developed alopecia in my 30’s and in the public eye .I totally relate to this lovely girl. I was so fearful to turn off my husband I never let him see me bald. Even now I feel very self aware of how I am perceived.
