I am a 53 year old black woman who lives in the Las Vegas area. My hair started falling out soon after my Thyroid was removed in 2011. I've worn extensions to hide the baldness, but it's making it worse. As a formal model, this is devastating to me. However, with great support from my family and friends, I had the courage to shave my head and realize that I am still a beautiful woman...even without my hair.
