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.
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.
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.”

I’m a 37-year-old marketing consultant from Berlin, and in 2024, I invested 4.8 BTC (about €300,600) into what I believed was a legitimate opportunity through HyperVerse. It looked promising at first daily returns, active communication but within months, the platform collapsed. My Bitcoin was gone, and I realized too late it was a Ponzi scheme.
Refusing to accept the loss, I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service. Their team of crypto recovery experts carefully analyzed my case, tracked the stolen funds using blockchain forensics, and communicated with me every step of the way. After nearly four months, they recovered 3.9 BTC, around €366,200 (at the time of recovery) into a secure wallet.
While I didn’t recover everything, I got back more than I expected. If you’ve been scammed in crypto, I highly recommend Morphohack. Their professionalism and results gave me a second chance.

It started as what I thought was a golden opportunity: an exclusive crypto investment platform promising 300% returns in six months. I invested $789,000 in Bitcoin, convinced it was my ticket to financial freedom. But when payouts stopped and the website disappeared, reality hit: I had been scammed. Devastated, I spent months chasing dead ends law enforcement, private investigators, even hacker forums but my Bitcoin seemed gone forever. Then, a friend recommended Cyber Codex Revolution,a blockchain forensic firm specializing in crypto recovery. Their team of ethical hackers and legal experts went to work, analyzing the scammer’s wallet movements across multiple blockchains. Using AI-powered transaction tracking and dark web intelligence, they uncovered the thieves’ identities and traced my funds to a series of cold wallets. Through a combination of legal pressure, smart contract exploits, and negotiation tactics, Cyber Codex forced the scammers into a corner. Within 45 days, they recovered 92% of my Bitcoin—$725,880 and returned it to my secure wallet. The relief was indescribable. Cyber Codex didn’t just recover my money—they gave me back my peace of mind. If you’ve lost crypto to fraud, don’t lose hope. With the right experts, even the most sophisticated scams can be undone.For more information Telegram: https://t.me/Cyber_Codex_Revolution

It’s quite unfortunate how many unlicensed and unregulated crypto investments are being used to steal crypto assets from people who don’t have an idea of how crypto works. I was once a victim and I’m here to speak out because the pump and dump schemes made me lose $25k worth of crypto in November last year, and if I didn’t carry out my research together with the assistance of RecoveryBureauC Service who was able to help me withdraw my crypto after it was frozen in their crypto investment platform, my crypto assets would have been gone forever.

Just wanted to share my experience here in case anyone else is going through the same nightmare I did. I was scammed out of over $700K by a fake trading platform called BFXCOIN.NET (also tied to EVWSchool of Business). I started with just $10K, saw fake profits, and then they kept pulling me in deeper with promises of higher returns. When I tried to withdraw, everything went dark.
The authorities couldn’t help me trace anything—even though I had every wallet address and transaction hash. I almost gave up… until I came across BitReclaim on Quora. They are certified cryptocurrency recovery experts with legit blockchain forensics tools. Within a week, they traced everything to outsourced wallets. If you’re dealing with a crypto scam, these are the people you want to contact.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.

I never imagined I’d become a victim of a scam—especially in the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency. When I was offered a chance to appear on a popular crypto podcast, I was excited. It seemed like a golden opportunity to gain exposure, connect with industry professionals, and build credibility within the crypto community. The podcast appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek website, professional branding, glowing testimonials, and an active social media presence.
After a few exchanges with the supposed host, I was asked to pay $9,500 to secure my spot on the show. Trusting the apparent professionalism of the platform, I went ahead with the payment. I envisioned the new doors this would open—partnerships, recognition, and new opportunities. But everything changed once the payment was made.
Suddenly, all communication stopped. My emails and messages went unanswered. The podcast’s website vanished, and so did their social media presence. That’s when reality hit—I had been scammed.
I was devastated. Angry, embarrassed, and desperate to find a solution, I began searching for help. That’s when I discovered PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. At first, I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out.
To my surprise, their team responded quickly and took my case seriously. Using advanced investigative tools and digital tracking techniques, they began tracing the scammer’s digital footprint. I watched as they worked tirelessly, putting the pieces together.
Amazingly, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY was able to recover 95% of my lost funds. The relief I felt was indescribable. Not only did I get back most of what I lost, but I also walked away with a hard-earned lesson about the importance of due diligence and caution in the digital world.
While I wish I had never fallen into the trap, I’m incredibly thankful for the support and professionalism of PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. They didn’t just recover my money—they helped restore my peace of mind. I’m sharing my story in hopes that it helps others avoid the same mistake and encourages them to stay vigilant in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.

How access to my Crypto wallet Containing $965,000 was retrieved with the Help of TROYHACKS CYBER SERVICE
I never thought I’d see my lost crypto again. Several months ago, I lost access to a wallet containing over $965,000 worth of cryptocurrency. A combination of a misplaced seed phrase and a corrupted backup file left me completely locked out. I tried every recovery method I could find online—wallet recovery tools, forums, even reaching out to the wallet provider—but nothing worked. I was devastated and close to giving up.
That’s when I came across TROYHACKS CYBER SERVICE, and everything changed.
From the first interaction, I could tell I was dealing with a team of elite professionals. Their deep understanding of blockchain architecture, encryption systems, and digital forensics was immediately apparent. They didn’t just talk the talk—they walked me through their process, outlining every step with full transparency and a no-false-hope policy.
Within days, they had analyzed my case and gotten to work. Their hacking prowess is nothing short of incredible. Using advanced cybersecurity techniques, proprietary tools, and some truly next-level brute-force strategies, they managed to reconstruct the missing wallet data and restore full access to my funds—all without compromising the integrity or security of the wallet itself.
What impressed me most wasn’t just their technical ability, but their professionalism, discretion, and commitment to ethical hacking. They operate with integrity, which is rare in this space. I’m now reunited with my crypto and couldn’t be more grateful.
