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 never thought I’d fall for a romance scam, but it happened. I met someone on a popular dating site who seemed genuine, kind, and emotionally supportive. Over time, we developed what I thought was a real connection. Then came the stories—emergencies, business problems, and travel issues—and before I knew it, I had sent over $85,000 trying to help them.
When they suddenly disappeared and deleted their profile, my world came crashing down. I was heartbroken and ashamed. A friend encouraged me to reach out to Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery, and honestly, I didn’t expect much. But their team was incredibly professional, compassionate, and efficient.
They handled everything discreetly, launched a full investigation, and within a few weeks, they recovered almost all of my lost funds. I couldn’t believe it—after being scammed emotionally and financially, I finally had some justice and closure.
Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery didn’t just recover my money—they helped me reclaim my peace of mind. If you’ve been scammed online, don’t stay silent. These people know what they’re doing, and they genuinely care.

HOW TO RECOVER STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENCY WITH A GENUINE RECOVERY SERVICE;WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
Life is ridiculously amusing. I was waiting in line for my morning coffee one minute and was witness to a barista extolling the virtues of Web Bailiff Contractor as if they were superheroes in the real world.
I chuckled it away at the time. I figured that I would never require any such crypto recovery services. My wallet was secure, my security was on solid foundations-or so I believed.
All that ended a week afterwards. I was going to send some Bitcoin when, all of a sudden, my wallet rejected my credentials. Wrong password.
I tried again. And again. Panic set in.
My $330,000 was trapped, and for the life of me, I could not recall the password. I was certain I had it correct, but the wallet disagreed. That is when I recalled the barista’s glowing recommendation of Web Bailiff Contractor; in a state of desperation, I searched for them and chose to contact them. From the initial message, their staff was patient, friendly, and very professional, and I felt confident that I wasn’t the first-let alone the last-man in the world who lost access to his wallet due to a forgotten password. They were that confident that they reassured me, but I just could not help myself: I worried. Was my Bitcoin lost forever? No chance. Their technicians worked through several complicated decryption techniques over the course of the next few days to decrypt my lost password. They worked through the security levels, attempted all manner of likely variations, and-amazingly-got me logged back on. I felt like I’d won the lottery when I was presented with my balance again. I must have sounded exactly like that barista, praising the merits of Web Bailiff Contractor to anyone who would hear me, because the relief was total. Not only did they restore my funds, but they provided me with sensible advice regarding password management, locking down my crypto, and how to steer clear of such calamities in the future. To this day, whenever I walk by that coffee shop, I always leave a generous tip—just because, if it weren’t for that chat, I might still have been shut out of my Bitcoin.
Lesson learned: Always double-check your passwords. And if you ever get locked out of your crypto, Web Bailiff Contractor is the one to contact.
Getting back your stolen bitcoins is very easy but there are also lots of fraudulent recovery firms out there so one needs to be careful not to end up being defrauded again.

My Bitcoin investment was frozen in an offshore account, leaving me unable to access or withdraw my funds. I had entrusted my life savings to a forex trader who managed the offshore investment, but when I attempted to withdraw my money, he suddenly became unresponsive.
Determined to recover what I had lost, I began searching for alternatives. A friend recommended Morphohack Cyber Service, praising their outstanding track record in cryptocurrency recovery.
Within 48 hours of reaching out, Morphohack’s team identified that my Bitcoin had been distributed across multiple wallets controlled by the scammer. Despite the complexity of the case, they pressed on with their investigation and ultimately succeeded in recovering the full amount. I was incredibly impressed by their skill, persistence, and professionalism.
Thanks to Morphohack, I regained access to my funds. I highly recommend their services to anyone affected by cryptocurrency scams or fraudulent investments.

After I trusted someone with my money and they refused to let me withdraw from my account and insisted that I pay more money to their fake platform, I was defrauded of $121,000 in Bitcoins.

As a seasoned entrepreneur, I prided myself on due diligence.

The platform promised 25% monthly returns through “algorithmic trading.” I poured in $775,000 USDT, For months, the dashboard showed soaring profits. Then, the withdrawal requests stalled. Excuses turned to silence. The platform’s domain expired. My heart sank: I’d been ensnared by scam. The loss was paralyzing. My family’s future hung in the balance. Lawyers warned that cross-border crypto scams were nearly impossible to prosecute. I spent sleepless nights scouring blockchain explorers, tracing my USDT to anonymous wallets, but hit dead ends.

HOW I RESTORED MY STOLEN BITCOIN WITH THE HELP OF TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.
I was told to keep paying more with no returns. just like other victims who had invested their cash in an investing platform in the hopes of making enormous gains. I made my first $58,040 worth of investments with my broker over the course of a week. I was told to make a second deposit of $58,040 before I could make any withdrawals. which I did.
My bonus/profit was $280,000, and all of my attempts to make withdrawals were unsuccessful. I tried contacting the broker twice in two days, but I was still unable to make withdrawals. Since i realized I’d been scammed.
I made every attempt to get my money back from them. but with no success. Eventually, a buddy who had gone through a similar situation suggested TROJANHACK. a recovery company. I got in touch with them via their Email which is ( Trojanhack@qualityservice.com) and with their technical expertise. they were able to easily retrieve all of the money that had been stolen. I heartily suggest them to anyone experiencing a similar situation.
