Sharon Battiste has not yet told the men who are courting her about her illness. The bachelorette suffers from circular hair loss and therefore usually wears a wig.
Sharon Battiste still hasn’t found the right moment to reveal her secret. The bachelorette always wears a wig on all her dates with the men who are courting her. Because she suffers from circular hair loss.
Bachelorette Sharon Battiste talks about her illness
For 15 years she went to one doctor after another, trying to cure the disease. But in vain. After each brushing, she found new bald spots on her head. At some point, Battiste made a difficult decision. “I asked my best friends to shave my head,” she explains in next week’s episode of the dome show (already on view).
As her remaining hair fell to the floor, Battiste felt bad. “I knew this was going to be the best thing I’ll ever do. But during those few minutes, I don’t think I felt myself. I was scared. I was scared that I’d never open up again. Never fall in love again. That no one ever thinks I’m pretty again,” she says. All the stronger the moment when she saw herself bald for the first time. The illness is now over for her, emphasizes the actress.
Circular hair loss
In the case of circular hair loss, also known as alopecia areata, the hair loss sets in acutely and leaves behind round or oval areas on the affected person’s head.
Doctors assume that it is an autoimmune disease. The immune system no longer only fights dangerous viruses or bacteria, but also attacks your own hair at the hair roots. At the Oscars this year, the disease became an issue when comedian Chris Rock made a quip about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head and Will Smith slapped him in the face. The actress also suffers from alopecia areata.
