New blogger time! Say hello to Danielle who's not far into her Alopecia Totalis journey...

We're really pleased to announce that Pretty Bald is growing, and as well as myself (Victoria), Jenny and Kayleigh, we have a new blogger joining the team; meet Danielle!

Danielle has always had Alopecia Areata, however it is now progressing towards Alopecia Totalis as she loses more and more hair. Up until now, her Alopecia Areata has been treated with steroid injections in her scalp and she has sported long, curly, auburn hair which covered the patches.

She is a singer and dancer, training professionally at the world-famous Italia Conti theatre school; she says singing is a way of life, and has not long returned from a singing contract in Cyprus. Her next position will be in Devon in the UK enabling her to become a Pretty Bald blogger.

Speaking to her of her alopecia, she says it began falling out in earnest in January and she's watching it lessen day-by-day. She has plans to shave it off tomorrow (wish her luck everyone) and stop her looking quite so much (in her words) like Gollum; she's hoping to post her first blog about it too! Her ambition for participating in this blog is to help raise awareness and inspire and if she can help just one person come to terms with their hairloss, she'll know she's done a good job!

Welcome to the team Danielle! In the meantime, here is her favourite picture of her natural hair!


Don't forget; if you are suffering from any kind of hairloss and want to tell your story OR become a regular blogger, please email us!
