I Shaved My Head To Take Control of My Hair Loss - An Interview With Chloe Bean

I Shaved My Head To Take Control of My Hair Loss - An Interview With Chloe Bean

Did you know that over 50% of women experience notable hair loss in their lifetime?

Hair loss is such a common occurrence in women, though talking about it is still considered taboo. 

Chloe Bean, Arizona State University student and bald badass, is breaking down the stigma one Instagram and Tik Tok post at a time!

We were lucky enough to interview her for Hair Loss Awareness month and get a closer look into her life with alopecia.

Interview conducted via email August 12, 2021.

When did you first realize your hair was falling out?

“I was 8 years old when I first realized my hair was falling out.

I remember that I was in Elementary school and one morning while my mom was doing my hair, she noticed a bald spot on the back of my head. That’s when I started to notice a bunch of hair on my pillowcases every morning.

My parents initially thought that I was pulling out my hair, but over time more bald spots appeared and that’s when they realized there was a bigger situation at hand”

 

What was your initial reaction to your hair loss?

“I have been bald three times in my life now and I don’t really remember my initial reaction the first time I went bald since I was so young, but what I do remember is feeling like I didn’t belong when I was around people in public or around my friends since I wasn't like the other girls who had such long, beautiful hair.

Instead, I always had to wear hats out in public to try and hide the bald spots that were scattered throughout my hair”

 

How did you get diagnosed with Alopecia Areata?

“It took a few months of going to multiple doctors and dermatologists until finally a dermatologist at Mid Michigan Health Center diagnosed me with Alopecia Areata.

Little did I know the huge impact that would have on my life.

I feel that Alopecia wasn't as well known back then compared to today which is why it was more difficult for my peers to understand what was going on with me then compared to today's society, more and more people are starting to come out and say they have Alopecia or other autoimmune diseases which is absolutely amazing”

 

When did you decided to post about your hair loss and what gave you the courage?

“November 13th of 2016 was the very first time I gained enough courage to post a bald picture of myself on instagram.

After years of hiding it and having it control me I decided to take control of it.

alopecia areata - women with hair loss - high quality wigs for women with thinning hair - why is my hair falling out - human hair wigs - best wigs for hair loss - best wig brands - realistic human hair wigs - natural looking wigs

There were many factors that encouraged me which include my family, especially my parents, but I would have to say someone who stood by my side and always had my back was my therapist.

I started seeing a therapist back in high school when I was losing my hair. After many sessions and countless tears, she helped me realize that instead of looking into a mirror everyday and not liking the image that reflected in it, that it would make me much happier to take control of my autoimmune disease by shaving what was left of my hair off. She was absolutely right. Rather than seeing bald spots grow bigger and bigger everyday around my head or seeing clumps of hair on my pillows, I felt powerful for once.

It felt like a weight lifted off of my shoulders after going completely bald. It was my new identity.”

 

What was the feedback like when you finally posted about your hair loss?

The feedback was absolutely powerful. I had people who I hadn’t reached out to in years commenting on my picture and my DMs were flooded with such positive messages.

Growing up people always knew I had Alopecia because they could see the bald spots around my head, but being able to take charge of something you have no control over and the courage to embrace it... is what makes you powerful!!”

 

When did your social media account starts to gain attention and how did it make you feel?

“My social media accounts started to gain attention because of my Alopecia and so to speak “coming out” with it.

Back in high school I would always post bald pictures of myself and I even made an Instagram account solely for the purpose of my journey with Alopecia, but I started to gain a lot of attention once a few of my Tik Tok videos went viral pertaining to Alopecia. Once that happened,

I realized something in my life that makes me truly happy is letting other people know that they aren't alone. It gives me a purpose!

Growing up I really didn't have a good support system or people who could understand me on a deeper level. I believe if someone is going through something, finding a support system is crucial. Knowing there are other people going through the same thing you’re going through and who can relate helps tremendously”

 

Who is your biggest inspiration?

My biggest inspirations are both of my parents. They are what hard work and determination is. No matter what anyone in our family is going through they are my rocks, my support system and always have my back!

 

What was your experience like with medical treatments for your hair loss?

The fact that there isn’t a cure for Alopecia is very unfortunate, so my experience with medical treatment hasn’t been that great. I did start doing sessions of steroid shots back in high school that would get injected in my head, but that required countless sessions and once I stopped receiving the shots, my hair would just fall out again so it was like a never ending cycle.

alopecia areata - women with hair loss - high quality wigs for women with thinning hair - why is my hair falling out - human hair wigs - best wigs for hair loss - best wig brands - realistic human hair wigs - natural looking wigs

I decided to quit receiving treatment this year actually and just embrace my baldness rather than try and fight for my body to produce hair when it isn’t meant to be.

 

What was the first wig you ever got and what was the experience like wearing it for the first time?

The first wig I ever received was from a nonprofit organization called Wigs4Kids. Maggie Varney the CEO made the experience out of this world!

During my appointment she showed me a variety of different wig caps and how they feel on your head to make me feel comfortable. I was also able to pick out the hair color on my wig.

The first time wearing it was so surreal because I knew that I had a wig on so it made me very self conscious about going out in public. I felt like I got really in my head and assumed that everyone would know I was wearing a wig because I knew that I was wearing one. I would constantly wear a hat over my wig to make me feel more comfortable, but over time it got easier and I accepted the fact I had a wig on my head.

 

What is your favorite wig color?

“My favorite wig color is a dark brown/auburn with ombre. I feel it makes me look natural and compliments my skin tone well”

 

Your cousins shaved their hair to make a wig for you and the video of it went viral! What was that journey like?

Family means everything to me. My cousins saw how difficult it was for me growing up at times not having hair, so when I recently went bald again my cousins decided to grow their hair out for me to make a wig from family hair.

Two years later, their hair was finally long enough to be able to donate it towards making a wig. At first my cousin, Grant, joked about it and would send me pictures of how long his hair was getting, but then it became a reality and he told me how he was now growing out his hair to make a wig for me.

Throughout the duration of him growing out his hair, he would update me over text or face time, explaining how he bought supplements to help make his hair grow faster. I am so blessed to have a family like mine!”

 

Female hair loss for Chloe has been a life long challenge.

Refusing to let her hair take control of her life and gaining the courage to shave her head, has been a life changing experience.

As the advice Chloe wish she had at the beginning of her hair loss journey states,

“It is such a beautiful process. Never fight for something that just isn't meant to be. I’m bald and have a story to tell.”

Hi, It’s a lovely morning here. I am Vanessa Craig and I am writing this article to inform everyone that just because we overlook certain information due to our lack of knowledge doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I am currently valued at more than £70 Million Pounds because I acknowledged this vital information.

His lottery spell enabled me to win £65 Million Pounds in the lottery by providing me with the accurate winning numbers after he performed a lottery spell for me. I placed my full trust in him and followed his instructions without any hesitation and right now, I am proud to say that Meduza’s spiritual advice for winning the lottery is superb and outstanding.

A YouTube video about an “arbitrage bot” intrigued me. It promised consistent profits by exploiting price differences between crypto exchanges. The demonstration seemed authentic, and the comments were full of positive feedback. I followed the instructions, deployed the smart contract via a Remix-like platform, and transferred initially $5,000 worth of cryptocurrencies, and later several thousand dollars in Bitcoin and USDT transactions.
A week later, the bot’s interface stopped working, and my funds were frozen. I could neither access them nor withdraw anything. When I realized it was a scam, I felt helpless. The contract was cleverly worded to redirect all funds to a hidden wallet controlled by the scammer.
That’s how I came across ICC Recovery. I contacted them without great expectations, but their team took my case seriously from the start. Using advanced blockchain forensics and smart contract analysis, they tracked the movement of my stolen funds across multiple addresses and exchanges. They compiled a detailed report that not only helped law enforcement identify the fraud ring but, through coordinated action with the exchanges’ compliance teams, also enabled the recovery of over 80% of my funds.
If you’ve been a victim of fraud, services like ICC Reclaim can help you get some of your money back. Act quickly and seek help if you’ve been defrauded. You can reach ICC at: (IRON-CLAD-CYBER--TECHIE-.com) (IRON-CLAD-CYBER-RECOVERY--GMAIL-.com). ICC Recovery was more than just a service; they were my lifeline. Their professionalism, speed, and expertise turned a nightmare into a second chance. If you’ve been defrauded in the crypto space, don’t stay silent and come forward. There is a real path to justice and reparation.

Hello everyone, some statements people make may appear unbelievable, yet they reflect their truth due to their personal experiences. I’m a truck driver and I enjoy playing the lottery, but it’s been 8 years without winning anything significant. I became upset over this and chose to seek help online from anyone skilled in using spells to win the lottery since my grandma had faith in spells and a story about Lord Meduza spells drew my interest. I obtained his contact information, and we discussed all aspects of how he could assist me. In less than 72 hours, Lord Meduza provided me with the lottery numbers I required after he completed the spell for me. I purchased my ticket online, followed the guidance of Lord Meduza, and now my life is fortunate because I won a $42.5 million Jackpot in the lottery I participated in. I’m thankful to Lord Meduza because he truly keeps his promises and I will donate $1 million to the orphanage homes in my town.

After losing 3.5 BTC, roughly $200,000, to a fraudulent crypto investment platform that vanished overnight, I was devastated. The sleek website and fake testimonials had lured me into believing I’d struck gold, but when I tried to withdraw, the platform froze, and support ghosted me. Desperate, I turned to several recovery companies, only to be scammed again, each one demanded upfront fees and delivered nothing, draining another $10,000 from my savings. I felt broken, my trust shattered. Then, a crypto forum thread mentioned Alpha Spy Nest, a cybersecurity and digital forensics team specializing in scam recovery. Skeptical but clinging to hope, I contacted them via their encrypted email. Within hours, a Nest operative responded, asking for transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and screenshots. Their professionalism and empathy stood out no false promises, just a clear explanation of their blockchain analysis and legal tactics. They traced my BTC through a maze of mixers and wallets, uncovering links to an exchange account tied to the scammers. Using their law enforcement connections, they froze the assets before they could be laundered further. Over a week, they kept me updated, demystifying the process without jargon. Finally, I got a message: Check your wallet. My heart raced as I saw 3.2 BTC returned, an outcome I thought impossible. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my funds, they restored my faith in justice. Their expertise, transparency, and relentless pursuit turned my nightmare into a story of redemption, teaching me to stay vigilant in the crypto world.

In March of this year, my Bitcoin wallet was hacked after I unknowingly clicked on a phishing email. Within moments, I was locked out of my wallet, which held approx $287,000 worth of BTC. The experience left me feeling angry, helpless, and deeply frustrated.
I immediately sought help through the proper channels, reporting the theft to authorities, but they couldn’t assist with Bitcoin recovery. That’s when I was referred to a private investigator by a mutual contact. This investigator introduced me to Morphohack, a cyber recovery service. I was skeptical at first, naturally cautious after being scammed, but I reached out anyway.
Morphohack responded quickly and professionally. After providing them with all the necessary documentation and wallet details, their team began tracing the movement of the stolen Bitcoin. Over the next four days, they worked to track the funds through the blockchain, using advanced forensic tools and strategies.
To my relief, they were able to recover the bulk of the stolen BTC, about $269,000 worth. While a small portion couldn’t be retrieved, I was extremely grateful for the outcome and impressed by their transparency and expertise throughout the process.
Morphohack not only helped me recover my assets but also guided me on improving my digital security to prevent future incidents. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with crypto theft. Their support made a huge difference when I needed it most. Morphohack team can be contacted via E-mail: Morphohack@cyberservices(.)com
