Mila – Alopecia Story

“Hi, I’m Mila. I’m 5 years old. I was diagnosed with alopecia areata when I was 2 years old, and I lost 80% of my hair. I also lost one eyebrow, and if asked where it was, my reply was, “It’s gone on holidays to Hungry Jack’s!”

If people ask where my hair is, we like to educate them on what alopecia is.

My hair has since grown back, though I currently have a little bit of hair loss on my hairline.

I love dancing and can’t wait to dance on stage at my end-of-year concert.

I like playing with my magnetic tiles, making Peppa Pig a house, and knocking it down.

I like helping in the kitchen, peeling vegetables and cooking with my Mum.

Next year I start kindergarten.

We are beautiful with and without hair.”
