Bald teen says meeting boyfriend changed her

A teen who feared she would always be alone because of a condition which has left her completely bald from head to toe says finding love has boosted her confidence.

Kelly-Ann Gallien, 16, lives with a severe form of alopecia, an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks hair follicles, triggering hair loss.

She suffered bouts of hair loss as a young child but was heartbroken when she began to lose her long blonde hair at the age of eight.

Kelly-Ann has been completely bald since then and endured bullying throughout her teenage years.
