Bald Girl Do Lunch’s highest priority is ensuring that every woman with alopecia areata in America gets the support she needs to restore self-confidence, learn and thrive.
There is a lot of alopecia information to sort through—good and bad, fact and fiction—and also plenty of clinical information that comes across as confusing unless you hold a medical degree. We want to make it easy to understand no matter what phase you’re in.
You want to feel beautiful but it can be hard to accept yourself again after losing your hair. From learning to cover up small bald spots to wearing scarves to apply makeup that stays put, our workshops, resources and advice will give you a new sense of self.
From diagnosis through acceptance, you will have questions and we will strive to provide you with answers. It will be up to you to decide what the best answer is given your own circumstances, but you will not be left on your own to figure everything out.
