Andri researched with friends and felt she wanted to donate her hair and raise as much money as she could to help children who have sadly lost their hair to illnesses.

The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or to other conditions such as Alopecia.

The charity is also one of the largest funders of childhood cancer research in the UK.

The Little Princess Trust relies solely on the generosity of its wonderful supporters who help the charity give Hair and Hope to so many children and young people with cancer each year.

Please donate whatever you can to help Andri reach her goal.

*MY LIFE .... MY BRAND*

Let's get some things straight right off the bat: Alopecia is not a sign of cancer or that someone is going through chemotherapy.
Not everyone who has alopecia loses all their hair (I just choose to shave/wax off all of mine). And, of course, it's not something anyone needs to be ashamed of. Unfortunately, far too many people with alopecia have been subject to misinformation and harmful assumptions, leaving them feeling insecure which is heartbreaking because I use to feel that way in the past, simply because I hadn't educated myself on my condition. So let's get to the facts.

There are several kinds of alopecia and they all include some level of hair loss. As SELF wrote previously, there are three main types of alopecia areata: There's patchy alopecia (which is exactly what I have, this causes patchy hair loss), which can progress into alopecia totalis (which causes total hair loss on the scalp) and alopecia unversalis (which causes total hair loss all over the body).

Alopecia areata is thought to be an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, and research suggests that both genetics and environmental factors play a role in developing it. But the exact cause isn't well understood.
