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.”

TRUSTED COMPANY TO ASSIST YOU IN RECOVERING YOUR STOLEN CRYPTO WITH WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
I am Irine Smith and I am based in Melbourne. I once had a nightmare experience a few months ago that frightens many people in the crypto space: I lost control of my $60,000 wallet following a malware attack. The hacker possessed my private keys, and I was unable to access my money. Panic set in the moment I realized the severity of the situation. As with anyone in my position, I was totally lost. But a friend of mine suggested Web Bailiff Contractor, and it was the best decision I ever made. As soon as I called Web Bailiff Contractor, I felt at ease. Their staff were professional, empathetic, and just incredibly reassuring. They understood how significant this was to me, and they took the situation in hand straight away. What I was most impressed by was their honesty and openness. They did not promise everything and then give false expectation but, instead, explained the process step by step. They took the time to tell me what had become of my wallet, how they would proceed to get it back, and the chances of success. Every step of the way through the recovery process, I was informed and guided. Their professionals worked, using their higher-level expertise and experience to deal with the nuances of my case. Obviously, they were not doing it by the book—they were tailoring the effort to get me the optimal result. They did not hurry the process, which comforted me in the wake of the delicate nature of cryptocurrency transactions. To my surprise, within a matter of days of reaching out to them, my wallet was completely recovered. I couldn’t believe it—I could now access my money. I felt a tremendous sense of security and relief that my money was back and that I had prevented what would have otherwise been a loss forever. All thanks to Web Bailiff Contractor, my nightmare turned into one of recovery. I am more than grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and peace of mind they gave me. If you ever are in the same position, I can’t say enough about them. They did what others thought was impossible, and I’ll forever be in their debt for assisting in the recovery not just of my money, but of my faith in the cryptosphere. If you’d like to contact them or inquire about their process, feel free to do so:

Hi everyone. I am Olivia Melissa from Montreal, Canada
I was one of the victims of a Crypto investment scam that saw me lose $402,500 worth of crypto.
The crypto market is very volatile and a lot of individuals have lost some of their crypto coins and crypto assets to these online scams. My wallet address was compromised and I don’t know how they got a hold of my recovery phrase, but I was wiped out by these scam attacks. I lost all my crypto coins ( ethereum, Btc & USDT) and this left me devastated and depressed.
I could have been homeless if it was not for the intervention of TROJAN HACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY a well-known and highly trusted crypto recovery agency whom I contacted through a colleague of mine, I filed a complaint and provided them with all the information including screenshots of the transactions. TROJANHACK was able to recover my crypto assets in less than 48 hours.
I was totally in awe of how quickly and efficiently they were able to access my stolen crypto and recover my crypto wallet and assets. I’m highly impressed and I recommend their services to everyone. Truly information is very valuable and without the help of TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.
I could have been homeless and left in a pitiful state. I’m very thankful for their help and I’m glad there is a safe way to fully recover crypto assets since the authorities cannot do anything to help get back lost funds. TROJANHACK was able to help me trace these conmen with their sophisticated cyber tools.
You can easily contact TROJANHACK with the following information;

I used to see my friend Wilson at Arizona State University, and from the outside, he seemed to have it all the latest gadgets, a Range Rover Sport, and everything that appeared to define success. He was the kind of person who exuded confidence and wealth, and for a long time, I admired him for it. One day, driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how he achieved so much, I finally asked him about his secrets. With a knowing smile, he casually mentioned an online platform, claiming it was a sure way to make significant returns on investments. Trusting him, and believing in the idea that there might be an easy way to secure my financial future, I decided to take the plunge. I invested a large sum of money my student aid funds, which I had carefully set aside for my future. At the time, it felt like a step toward financial freedom. The promises were smooth, the platform was sleek, and the returns seemed almost guaranteed. However, it wasn’t long before things started to go awry. The smooth promises of high returns quickly turned into a barrage of demands for additional fees, each one more pressing than the last. I couldn’t withdraw any of my earnings, and the platform’s support team became increasingly unresponsive. The excitement I had once felt about my financial future turned into a cold, harsh reality. I had been scammed. I had lost over $15,000, money I could never afford to lose.The betrayal stung deeply. Not just because of the financial loss, but because I had trusted someone I considered a friend. I felt stupid and naive, unable to grasp how I had let myself fall for such a convincing scam. But amidst my despair, I found a glimmer of hope. I came across Rapid Digital Recovery, a team of experts dedicated to helping people like me reclaim their lost funds. Their team worked tirelessly, offering both guidance and concrete steps to help recover what had been taken from me. With their help, I was able to regain a portion of my funds and, more importantly, I learned a valuable lesson. Trust can be manipulated, even by people we admire. But there’s always hope, and recovery is possible if you know where to turn. If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation, remember that help is out there. Rapid Digital Recovery can make a real difference. Don’t give up.

I’ve read numerous stories of individuals losing bitcoin through fraud. I prefer to start by stating that the organisations in charge of bitcoin security have done nothing to assist in the recovery of lost or stolen coins. In my case, my computer was hacked and someone with access to my emails stole 4.3 bitcoins. I contacted blockchain right away, but they wasted my time. I then looked for help elsewhere and was directed to speak with a bitcoin professional who helped hunt down and recover my bitcoins for a charge. After the job was finished, I was more than happy to pay more. I’m glad I got help, and I want to urge you to contact recoveryhacker101@gmailcom.
Be careful of people asking for your money or investment platforms promising huge returns. They lure victims into fake programs. I was scammed of 398,450 U S D. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on Bitcoin Abuse Forum about coinsrecovery organization. I contacted him via (COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE AT GMAIL DOT C OM)and he helped me recover my stolen funds. If you’ve also been a victim, don’t hesitate to get in touch with him. The United States Department of Justice estimates that only 15% of victims of financial fraud report the crime because they are embarrassed, feel guilty or think nothing can be done. There are millions of victims of financial fraud every year.
