My alopecia journey began when I was 24 although I did not know it at the time. I went to my hairdresser one Saturday morning and asked her to cut my hair very short and spiky on top as was the fashion in those days. She told me that she wouldn’t be able to cut it too short because of my bald spot to which I replied “What bald spot?’ She proceeded to give me a mirror and to my surprise, I saw a 15mm bald patch on the back of my scalp. Over the next couple of months, the hair grew back and I didn’t think about it again.
