American Girl to Introduce Doll Without Hair (lilsugar?format=xml)

When I saw in my Facebook feed last week that American Girl is offering an
option for girls to choose a doll without hair, I was overjoyed – and it took
me right back to 10 years ago, when I lost all of my hair to an autoimmune
disease called alopecia areata.
Basically, your body sees your hair as a foreign invader and kills it off at
the follicle. Most people lose only a small patch of hair (which was how my
case presented at first, a dime-sized bald spot behind my ear) but in severe
cases those afflicted can lose all (universalis) or most (totalis) of their
head and body hair. I lost 90 percent of the hair on my head and I was bald
for nearly two years.

I was lucky that all my hair grew back, thanks to what doctors believed was a
kickstart of hormones …
