A young woman who suffers from Alopecia Areata asked her boyfriend to shave her head. She started to cry when she saw her boyfriend take the shaver and start shaving his own head. She said that after months of growing her hair in over 10 years, she turned around and asked her boyfriend to shave her head. Eva Barilaro caught a clip of the very emotional haircut when it first showed up on TikTok last May.
Alopecia Areata is a condition that will cause hair to fall out in small patches. Over time, these partial patches will connect with other areas and becomes quite noticeable. The condition develops when your immune system attacks your hair follicles.
