“i now have alopecia areata… i have literally manifested going bald.” – Thea Hail
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks hair follicles, commonly resulting in sudden areas of hair loss. It can affect people differently: some experience limited patches, while others lose considerably more hair, and the course of the condition is not identical from one person to another. Hair may regrow, although further episodes can also occur. Hail’s public disclosure adds her to the many athletes and entertainers who have spoken openly about living with conditions affecting their appearance.
