Kaleigh Dawson started losing her hair when she was 12, covering it by wearing hats and beanies, before she was diagnosed with the auto-immune disease alopecia areata not long after.

"I don't really remember a lot of it, but it just kind of went away on its own and I've had 22 years with no complaints," she said.
