Alopecia: Bald is Beautiful

August 25, 2017

How One Girl is Growing Alopecia Awareness

Do you know someone who has been diagnosed with Alopecia? Whether it’s a child or an adult, the side effects of hair loss can be extremely discouraging and emotionally draining. However, a positive mindset can make all the difference.

This is where Lauren’s story comes in. When Lauren was in second grade on a family trip to Disney Land, she began losing her hair as a result of Alopecia Areata. Years later, Lauren is sharing her story on how Wigs for Kids helped her find beauty from within and recognize that bald is beautiful. With an undeniable confidence and strength, Lauren is now working to earn her Gold Star in Girl Scouts by driving Alopecia awareness around the community.
