A 21-YEAR-OLD woman has learned to love her bald head, with the support of her fiancé. Sierra Dawn from Washington state was diagnosed with alopecia totalis in 2013. She told Barcroft TV: “Alopecia is an autoimmune disorder that causes your body’s immune system to somehow for whatever reason think that your hair is a foreign body or virus. "I remember the doctor looking at that spot and telling me it looks a lot like alopecia. and I have never heard of that word before and at that time I struggled to even pronounce it." The young woman first noticed something wasn’t right when her hair began falling out at high school. When Sierra was 18, she sought refuge in an online forum - where she met, now Fiancé, Zane. The couple are now engaged, and Sierra is thankful that her fiancé has helped her learn to love her bald head.
