A man recently shared a moment online that has touched thousands of people. His wife went out with him for the first time without a wig. She had been diagnosed with scarring alopecia years before he ever met her. Scarring alopecia is a form of permanent hair loss. The hair does not grow back. The follicles are destroyed.
For many women, that diagnosis is devastating. Hair is tied to identity. Hair is tied to beauty. Hair is tied to confidence. Losing it can feel like losing a part of yourself.
