Will My Blind Date Mind That I'm Bald? | DATING DIFFERENT

ALISON MANN, a 22-year-old graduate student in New York, started losing her hair as young as four years old due to alopecia. By the time she reached school age, she had gone completely bald. With the support of her loving family and friends, Alison learned to accept her uniqueness. She also found her passion and confidence in gymnastics, which Alison said gave her a sense of identity and protection. Having lost her hair at such a young age, Alison never wore a wig. She also said she would never consider putting one on. She told Truly: "If I had the choice to grow my hair back, I genuinely don't think I would." Alison admits that using dating apps has been a struggle for her, with some people asking insensitive questions or fetishising her hair loss. Today, Alison is going on her very first date in over a year - will she meet the man that accepts her for who she is?
