This is brilliant, thank you, you have inspired me to build up courage to go wigless. Been wearing them for 30 years. Well done on your ted talk you were amazing, I've found you on Instagram to get more inspiration xx

Thank you very much for this great TED Talk. You speak from my soul. I live with scarring alopecia for 20 + years now. And have been shaving off the rest of my hair for 16 years. Because it's so much more comfortable for me. I've never worn a wig and I wear hats as accessories from time to time. I don't want to hide. And yes, people stare at me. Or strangers sometimes ask me if I have cancer etc. That's annoying and rude. Because it shows that our society has not yet accepted that there are people who just look a bit different. In 2012, I went to a Sinead O'Connor concert in Cologne. And that was kind of bizarre and funny, because a lot of people probably thought, "what kind of fanatic fan is that, she even has the same hairstyle"😂 Thank you again and all the best.

Inspirational 👏🏼 Thank you for this. Working up the courage to go wigless myself after 20 years. It's terrifying, thank you for normalizing it. ❤

Thank you so much for watching, Leigh! And yes to being on our own timeline for self-acceptance. But finding community and seeing others representing has been SUCH a help. Shout if you want to connect and chat on socials 😃

I said to you on instagram that you had inspired me and gave me courage to go bald at work (something I don't even think about now) and since then I have actually gone to my local supermarket bald - only once so far, but it's a step in the right direction. You continually inspire me with your insight. Thank you for a fantastic Tedtalk

@@RelightAlopecia Liberated and free 😊 I'm not really much of a wig wearer, I mostly wear hats but I love that I now keep forgetting to put one on when I go out. I never cover my head amongst family and close friends but now I am getting so much more comfortable showing off my beautiful bald head to the rest of the world! 😀

Testify! And finally- recognition that a buzz cut is NOT the same as being bald.

I do see a bald woman here. I see a wonderful person.
