Get Chlo Some Hair

Hi, my names Chloe and I’m 27.

In 2018 I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areta, an autoimmune disease which causes my hair to fall out. Often starting in small (almost unnoticeable patches) then the patches get bigger and bigger leading to total hair loss.

Alopecia is not a widely recognised illness, and often when a bald woman is seen , or a headscarf/ wig / toppers it can be associated to cancer and chemo treatment.

2018- I lost small patches, which I managed to just about to save my hair and continue living with the condition.

2021- some pictures are featured on this page, I went through a very traumatic event which led to total hair loss. A new way of learning to live & loosing myself , and sense of identity along the way.

2022,2023,2024- my hair grew back, beautifully. A full head, I even got it back blonde. I felt like myself, I was the Chloe I knew & wanted to be.

2025- I went into the year all guns blazing ready to go, along with a few deeply emotional things happening around me, a loss of someone I loved. My hair started to go, at a rapid rate. Within a space of the week, I had half a head of hair missing. My amazing boyfriend Phil, has shaved his hair in support for me to not feel so lonely.

I’ve set a GoFundMe page, in the hope that I will possibly be able to afford a good real hair wig. I previously had synthetic ones, and these are great - but don’t last long & were cheap ones to get me by.

A real hair wig starts at anywhere from £300 to £700. The cost of living (and yes I’m working) I sadly do not just have this kind of spare money laying around.

Whilst I love to rock a headscarf, nothing beats the feeling of having hair on your head.

This is soul destroying, crippling and once again I’ve lost my sense of identity.

If you’ve read this far, thank you so much & I hope one day soon, I’ll be able to get some hair on my head. To feel more me, to not feel broken, and to not worry.

Thank you

Chloe
