Yasmin, I wanted to thank you for publishing this post. I also have alopecia and have been living my life as a bald woman. It is amazing on her win can benefit so many more than just herself and she is unselfishly willing to do so. Kayla is a member of our online social networking site, Alopecia World for people living with alopecia and all of us are behind her.
Thanks,
