I Watched Myself Go Bald Three Times | BORN DIFFERENT

TAKING BACK control of her identity, Chloe Bean, an influencer from Scottsdale, Arizona, has had the trauma of watching her hair fall out three times after receiving an alopecia diagnosis when she was a little girl. Initially feeling like she had lost her femininity, she stood strong in the face of adversity and now dedicates her time to showing the world that bald is beautiful and losing your hair should never mean losing yourself. The beaming advocate has had her share of negativity due to her lack of locks but it's only made her stronger and now she shares that strength with thousands of followers every day while going one step further in creating and offering products specifically designed for people who have been, are going through or are starting the same journey she has spent her life battling herself. Chloe said: "I posted my very first video of me going bald and the whole process of the bald spots, how it got bigger and bigger. And then my dad shaving my head on TikTok and it received a ton of support. I had so many people reaching out to me saying that they're going through the same thing. I was very surprised when it got that much attention. It went global which allowed me to really pinpoint that I want to do this throughout my lifetime. My passion to help inspire and encourage others will never stop growing."

Her boyfriend was right when he said people stare because she's gorgeous. She legit looks perfect bald.

I don't give a damn about what anyone says: Chloe Bean is so beautiful that she doesn't need hair.
Chloe's smile and face lights up a room like any other model.

My girlfriend has that too. Although she went bald two years ago and wasn't born with it like Chloe. And I witnessed that whole process two years ago with my own eyes when my girlfriend became bald. It happened all so fast. She just woke up one morning with a bald patch on her head and then only within 6 weeks she lost all of her hair and nothing was left and she was bald... And she had very long brown hair before that. It was so surreal. We went to different doctors, tried to stop it desperatly but nothing helped. And in that time she wasn't as confident as she is today. But I was there for here. Of course I told her that I love her even if she is bald. There were many days when she was missing hair her, when she felt bad about being bald, looked in the mirror, cried, tears and emotions, everything because a big part of her was missing BUT I was comforting her, hugging her and telling her that she is still beautiful. Now two years later she is definitively more confident, I think she accepted it and got over it. Although she still covers her scalp when out in public. Mostly with head wraps, head scarfes or turbans. She has some wigs but she says that wigs are a pain in the butt haha so she doesn't wear them that often. But girls with alopecia who go out completely bald without covering it in public like Chloe are very rare, so I really admire her confidence!

Wow what an incredible story. Being able to turn a condition into a super power is truly incredible. She’s so inspiring and I’m so happy she’s grown to love herself 💜

[AmyLeeAngelLove]

She doesn't need hair. She is so beautiful! Those eyes! 😍

[alishamartin]

Recently diagnosed with alopecia & I can't tell you how comforting it is to watch somebody take on hair loss the way she has. So inspiring & beautiful! 😭

This really made me feel better. I'm 24 and had a stroke last year and had to have a craniotomy.. and then a cranioplasty like 6 or 7 months later. So they had to shave my head twice. I still haven't worked up the nerve to see any of my old friends. I kinda just became a hermit. I hardly leave home anymore. Bc my hair was pretty much the only physical quality I liked about myself. But seeing how confident and beautiful you are, really helped. Thank you 💖

I’ve met her before and my mom used to know her and still has her number. She’s legit the most amazing person and is so kind and sweet

[jdewitt]

She looks absolutely fantastic with her bald head. Her head has a perfect shape to it and she doesn't need a wig. Once more, her personality also enhances her beauty. She's beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.

[CosmicAli_TheObserver]

She's beautiful, she looks like a mannequin, her head is a perfect feminine shape. I think it's cool when women shave their heads.
This couple makes me smile too, he's just as beautiful of a person as she is.

[Elkitty]

The bf is a ⭐...the cousins too... Good for her...and good for the support she gets 💪🏼 you are beautiful 💜

[andstajacvaris]

I totally cried when Zack built Chloe a wig wall. That's real love.

[deeduddie]

If there was ever a face meant to be seen without hair in the way, she has it!! BEAUTIFUL!

“Alopecia is a gift.” Yes! Her embracing her condition is absolutely inspiring.
