Should I Delete That?

Life with alopecia- “I was 13 when I started losing my hair”


Listen Later

This week, the girls chat to Laura Mathias. Laura was 13 when she started losing her hair. No one could help her – not her mum, her friends or even her doctor. She was told, as a teenager, that stress was contributing to her development of alopecia. Stress management wasn’t easy, how could it be at that age? And as Laura’s hair continued to fall out, she finally plucked up the courage to ask for a wig. Now, almost two decades later, Laura has found herself finally ready to accept herself and her baldness. She’s starred in photoshoots, appeared on national television and even walked a runway, all without her wig. Laura wants other women and young girls with alopecia to not feel the helplessness that she did. Laura’s confidence #journey is incredible, and Em and Alex are so proud to share her story.
