Determined musician Nell Bryden refused to let hair loss ruin her life

06-23-2012, 08:13 PM

Sitting in front of the mirror in my New York apartment, I saw a reflection I hardly recognised. I looked sick. My hair was so thin, large patches of my scalp showed through. My eyebrows and eyelashes were practically gone, too. This wasn’t me, I thought. It felt like a nightmare. But it wasn’t.

Until this moment, I had never realised how much my hair had been intertwined with my identity.

When Nell Bryden began shedding her hair, she panicked. She was soon diagnosed with alopecia totalis, a stress-induced autoimmune disorder that causes the complete loss of hair.

Her problem is not hereditary androgenic alopecia. Her problem seems more likeTelogen Effluvium or alopecia areata. Either way, she is much stronger than I was when I was struck with androgenic alopecia.
