Chloe Sheehan's life became a misery when she suffered hair loss caused by Alopecia. She was deep in depression; she couldn't bring herself to leave her house for an entire month and felt shame when she looked at her reflection. Chloe had to keep going for cervical tests and treatments, which only added more anxiety as she awaited the outcomes, which she thinks kicked off the balding. It all started six years ago with a small bald patch at the nape of her neck, which quickly spread and left the former Dental Nurse with a dramatically thinning mane. Despite trying countless treatments over the years, Chloe's hair loss persisted until she hit rock bottom and started practicing self-care. “I was getting my highlights done when my hairdresser noticed a tiny patch at the nape of my neck," the 29-year-old shared. “I didn’t think much of it when she said it until I went home and became obsessed with this tiny patch. I was so embarrassed and mortified, thinking who may have seen this five-cent size patch on the back of my neck, as I wore my hair up constantly while at work.” After a few days, Chloe went to the doctor, who told her it was probably just a bit of eczema and sent her home with some cream. But the bald spot began to spread across the back of her neck, and her gorgeous mane of long blonde hair thinned dramatically. Eventually, a dermatologist diagnosed her with Alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes unpredictable, patchy hair loss, sometimes affecting the entire head. Chloe, who now works in Engineering Procurement, was told there was no cure for the condition, but she should look after her health as best as possible and keep an eye on the situation. A few months later, Chloe’s hair began to grow back, and she thought her troubles with alopecia were over. But then suddenly, her locks started falling out in clumps this time worse than ever. “I noticed when I went into the shower I lost handfuls of my hair. When I went to bed at night I lost more on the pillow, and it was coming out so fast, it was physically falling faster than I could mentally comprehend.” she explained. “About two weeks later, I was unable to hide it anymore. Time stands still when you're holding clumps of your hair intertwined in your fingers - it feels nauseating and I felt I had totally lost control.” Chloe became depressed, shutting herself indoors and refusing to leave the house or go to work. “I got desperate insomnia as I was petrified to go to sleep - the nightmares I was having were horrendous, but yet I couldn’t leave my bed, so I would stay awake and exhausted all day and all night and just became emotionless and numb. I had a tough time with my identity. I struggled to look at myself in the mirror. I was off work for over a month and didn’t leave the house. The only person who saw me was my partner. It was just a vicious circle - everything I was doing made it worse. Then, one day when I was ready to give up, I sat down and said to myself, ‘I can’t keep going like this’." Hoping to find a way of covering her hair loss, the Donaghmore native went to Dublin to get a wig. “That was a very difficult day because I never saw myself committing to a wig, or getting a wig. I thought ‘The second I get a wig, I’ve gone too far’. Now I say to people, I waited way too long to get a wig. I think getting a wig changed everything for me. I needed that lifeline to get back to work, to see my friends and family, and just bloody leave the house!” In addition to the hair loss on her head, Chloe’s eyebrows and eyelashes also started falling out. “That was very hard because I automatically looked ill whether I had my wig on or not, which really bothered me. If I went somewhere for lunch or dinner, I would think all the other tables were staring at me and always thought, 'Oh God. Do they think I have cancer?' It was an identity crisis," she recalled. Over the years, Chloe has tried countless hair loss treatments, from home remedies to specialist creams and clinical drug trials, but to no avail. In May 2020, she decided to take control and open up about her journey and started an Instagram page @chloeshairaffair, to be the support out there that was clearly lacking, to help others going through similar struggles. Becoming a poster girl for the hair loss condition with fellow sufferers taking courage from her honest and uplifting posts, Chloe’s account has 11.5k followers. "I would love to go back in time and have a chat with myself to prove there is light at the end of the tunnel. This is a huge reason I set up my Instagram page because I would have done anything to have someone so vocal about Alopecia online to turn to as I felt no one understood," the brave influencer explained. “Everywhere you go there are people with Alopecia, you just don’t know it. I wanted to go on to Instagram and see a girl with patches and be able to chat to her. It’s lovely to have people reach out to you and understand what you are going through.” Nowadays, things are looking up for Chloe - she's getting married in a few weeks and completing the building of her dream home. Her hair has started to grow back again, and she no longer wears her wig to work or around people that she knows. “During Covid, I stopped wearing the wigs and obsessing over treatments, and I focused on myself, the health of my scalp and hair. At the time, the very top of my head was bald. I thought I had flaky skin there because I had no hair there producing natural oils to keep my scalp moisturised and I could feel something. I asked my fiancé to look and he said it’s not flakes, it’s hair! It was amazing. Slowly but surely, hairs started sprouting across my head. While I still have a huge bald patch at the back of my head, more hair is growing back,” she shared. Chloe believes her alopecia was triggered by the stress of her health issues which are thankfully now all fine and her advice for anyone suffering with the condition is to take good care of both their physical and mental health. “I was going through cervical tests and procedures quite regularly and constantly waiting for results and dreading appointments and it was all catching up with me. My consultant insisted that had nothing to do with my hair loss, but that’s my self-diagnosis. The time frames match up. I was so stressed; my body was definitely trying to tell me something. When I got Alopecia, I was forced into self-care. Today I practice mindfulness, meditation, and yoga. Everyone can benefit from these things, whether you have Alopecia or not. It’s really important to know that you are not alone, my DMs are always open I was that girl once, and if I can make it through, so can you.” she concluded.
