I lost all my hair at 18 - shake my beauty

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Jess, 27, from Essex, UK lost all of her body hair aged 18 due to Alopecia Universalis, an autoimmune condition, which causes the body to eat all of its own hair follicles, often due to stress. She first noticed her eyebrow hair falling out, aged 15 but doctors put it down to puberty. However, the hair loss continued, and Jess was left with bald patches all over her head. She was so embarrassed by her condition that she would hide it from her friends and go as far as sleeping with a wig to keep the illusion up. When she did go out in public Jess would occasionally be faced with ignorant comments. Jess told Truly that a boy asked if I used to be a man because I wear a wig. People don't really know about alopecia so they just presume that you are a man or have cancer. During the COVID lockdown, Jess decided that it would be the best time to finally show her bare head online, and posted a photo to her Instagram page. She was blown away by the positive response and now is a big presence within the online alopecia community. She said: When I was younger I didn't have anyone to look at on social media or in the public eye who was bald. I would've loved that so I want other young girls going through it to see that you can still live your life with or without hair. The message she now wants to send out to the world is one of positivity and hope. At the time when you start losing your hair it kind of feels like the end of the world but it's definitely not, it's just the beginning

I wish I could live without hair! I'm a hairy woman with super thick hair. It costs me about $300 every 6 weeks to do my hair and takes at least 4 hours. I've had friends who have just shaved their head, I would do it too, but I've got wack ears. But man not having to deal with hair is a blessing girl! You probably haven't felt that way before, but you look wonderful. You own it!

I hate that Mean people make bald jokes or bald comments towards people with no hair like get some maturity and stop doing that like it's not nice- LET'S ALL TRY TO BE KIND INSTEAD OF BULLYING -

I wish i had no hair, no more shaving or waxing. Plus there are tons of super cute wigs that look better than natural does anyway.
Where do i sign up?

She definitely is so brave and absolutely beautiful. I can imagine that it won't be easy, but it's so brace and amazing that she dares to be herself.

Even during the economic downturn and recession, I'm so happy I've been earning $60, 000 returns from my $10, 000 investment every 21days.

She is still gorgeous and love how she do her makeup. She is brave to show off she has no hair. Truly amazing story.

I can't imagine being a teenager and going through that - but Jack is definitely correct. She's a gorgeous role model. -

I also suffer from female alopecia. Mad respect to that woman for rocking the bald look. She's beautiful

You look amazing, in my opinion better without a wig! I wouldn't hide that beautiful head with a wig.
