Lucy Watson and ITV Tyne Tees’ Amy Lea share the stories of two incredible women living with alopecia and empowering others.
Online influencer Dani Gilbert’s hair loss began in childhood. Her videos help people embrace alopecia, as well as use wigs and makeup to face the day. Gaileen Smailes’ hair loss began in 2024, following a bereavement. She has found confidence by setting up a support group.
