Hairless&Fearless - Addressing the Social Stigma of Female Alopecia

Society has a misunderstanding that women with hair loss are often seen as stressed, unhealthy, or unattractive. And this social stigma inevitably puts a mental burden on women with alopecia.

Hairless&Fearless leverage peer support to foster a loving community to share information and positivity, and we provide multi-channels of support and campaign to raise awareness of the wider society. We are here to change attitudes towards hair loss, with a mission to show how we are all beautiful, no matter how much hair we may have. We care, inspire, and educate everyone about alopecia every day.
