After dealing with hair loss for more than a decade, Kylie Bamberger, 29, found acceptance.
My alopecia started with a few bald spots here and there, ones I could easily cover up with strategically placed French braids. I was 12 years old at the time, and I wasn’t too worried about my hair. I usually wanted it out of my face anyway.
Over the course of that week, my hair would clog the shower drain and I’d wake up to a pile of hair on my pillow every morning. On a windy day, strands of hair literally blew away and landed on one my friends. But the thing with alopecia is, you never know if it’s going to get better or worse, so I waited it out for a few months.
And for a while, doctors didn’t know if I was. I was constantly leaving school for appointments and tests, but no one could figure out what I had. They were testing for serious things like lupus and cancer.It was by process of elimination that we came to the conclusion it was, in fact, alopecia. Once we reached that verdict, almost all medical professionals were speechless. No one had answers.
Shaving was a way to take my control back from alopecia, and it felt good. My family and friends made a whole thing out of it : We listened toby Kelly Clarkson, my mom drank wine, and everyone took turns trying on my new wig. It was a fun way of accepting the cards that I was dealt and moving forward with life. I was regaining control of something I let control me.I started wearing a wig from there, which seems counterintuitive, but shaving was more about moving onto the next step.
