- Alexandra Coppola is a 21-year-old college student who was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata at age 17. She recently shaved away her past burdens when she made the brave decision to begin anew with a bald head. She shares her story in this mini-documentary on how she went from hiding who she was to flaunting who she is becoming.
I have alopecia as well. You aren't alone girl! Mine started out as a bald spot in September 2013. I lost 90 percent of my hair within that year. I have never met anyone in person who has this as well so it's inspiring to know that some one else is sharing their story.
us sufferers have to stick together to one day find a cure to stop this from happening to everyone effected also great video
Thank you for sharing. You are beautiful. My story is almost exactly like yours but mine happened at age 41. It is hard at any age but I can't imagine how hard it is at such a young age. I've had alopecia almost a year and a half. I went through all the same things. I am now in the acceptance phase. I've shaved my head twice. Your such a brave young lady. Keep being you and you'll inspire and help so many people. Good Luck!
You are so uplifting and full of love. I hope you make more videos💕 💕
Very inspirational, and I'm glad you shared your story. Hopefully, I'll find the courage to do the same.
I am 40,I started at 15. I am a license cosmetologist and probably contributed to some hair liss as well. Do not be afraid to speak to your doctor or guidance conselor.My daughter lost 1/3 of her hair at age 3. She is 22 and has regain all of hers. Her half sister also has the same problem, she and I are still in the fight.So you are not alone. Stay away from chemicals of any kind.Use sulfate free, hydrating shampoos;Make an appointment with a dermatologist as soon as possible! Take care!!!!!
You are so courageous. Thank you so MUCH for sharing.
I am going threw this also.
I have alopecia areata as well. l have kept what little bit of hair as well. l have been watching the videos of brave women taking the plunge to cut off the hair. l wear lace front wigs so no one will see my bald head but my family members anyway. l am so inspired to know that l am not alone in this. The shame is gone. Since l work in the legal field, l will not wear my bald head in public but l am proud to say l am taking the baby step to cut off this not needed hair. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Alex, I was so impressed by your pose at the children's alopecia event last summer. You are an amazing lady and a great role model -
I have alopecia areata. I've had it for about three years now. Im 26 going on 27 and i was around 24 when it first began. Have had a lot of regrowth but it's not 100 percent. Mine started randomly. Actually with me, I started noticing this really itchy/ burning feeling on my scalp at first. I first thought it was maybe dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis and thought it was just one of those things that would clear up on its own. That was until I was taking a shower one day and noticed my hair was actually coming out in my hands when I was washing it. Ofcourse this being the first time I ever experienced anything like it, it freaked me out and made me panic because I thought there was something seriously wrong with me. So i went to my doctor the next day and had my scalp examined and the doctor pointed out several of these small bald spots on my head and told me it looked like a case of alopecia areata. And I had no idea what it was or how I ended up with it. All I knew was I wanted to get rid of it. But I didn't know that it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. So my doctor recommended me to a dermatologist who literally looked at my scalp for 5 seconds and confirmed that it was alopecia . He immediately started giving me kenalog injections every 4 weeks into the bare areas of my scalp. Two and a half years went by and I have recovered 80 percent of it. And that's where I'm at right now. The annoying thing about it is, just when you think its going away another spot shows up. Also the fact that it's one of those things that you basically just have to live with. I've grown used to it, but it's hard because there are so many people that judge you, give you weird looks, and people that aren't aware of alopecia. The world can be cruel sometimes. Your video is very inspirational. God bless you, and I think you are a beautiful person the way you are. Physically and mentally. Thanks for sharing
god, your beautiful, I couldnt even tell that was not your hair, and it doesnt matter anyways.. Alexandra, thank you for telling your story and helping others...
She is really beautiful bald.
I love your eyes God bless you!
Muchas gracias por el vídeo, la verdad es que es muy descriptivo y fácil de entender para todas aquellas personas que padecen de alopecia. Yo llevo más de 5 años con ella y hasta hace poco más de año y medio no había conseguido ninguna solución efectiva :) Si lo desean, pueden pasarse por mi canal, también subo vídeos sobre alopecia androgenetica, tratamientos, consejos y tutoriales :)
Un abrazo!!!

hi, my name is kiara im 14 and ive had alopecia from 4 years old its really hard for me cause im in middle school going too high school next year an the kids are really mean and always calling me bald or something really mean and rude i would really love to talk to you if you have a Facebook you can add me princess kiara or instagram funsiz3.keke please i really need somebody to talk to about this
I so afraid to tell anyone.
Support groups help. You can talk with ppl who have AA! You hang in there girl ! The disease is tough but you are tougher!
There needs to be more research done.. its to prevelent and we need to ask why it's happening?
Call Dr Morse's office he could help you. I think you could get healed by detoxing your organs. Detoxing and juicing is key. It will take time but I believe your hair will grow back. Please keep me posted.
