Brinkley: I have had Alopecia Areata since about 2011. I had never had to wear a wig, though, until after Covid. I briefly wore a wig in 2021, but my hair regrew. The unknown has added a lot of uncertainty to my daily routine, as l have had to adjust my hair routine to hide spots. I'm a blonde with naturally fine hair, and I struggled to find wigs that looked and felt real. Any previous
