In honor of Crown Day, model Ivy Griffin shares her experience with alopecia and reveals how embracing her bald head has given her a new lease on life.
I got up that morning and just decided to do it. I was like, It’s supposed to be 80 degrees outside, it’s hot! I hadn’t done a quick weave for myself, and I didn’t want to wear a wig. I had just shaved my head, and my scalp was smooth. I thought, Yep, this is the day! So I got dolled up and did my makeup, and I said, I’m gonna wear pink underneath my scrubs. And I went to work at the hospital as a certified medical assistant, uncovered.
To me, a woman’s glory was her hair. And when I lost mine, I felt like I lost a little bit of me. I was such a girly girl, and I loved doing my hair and having my hair done. So when I started to lose it, I was devastated as a woman, in my femininity, you know? So there were a lot of sad and depressive moments, but I never acknowledged them because I wasn’t a firm believer in depression. There were some moments I’d sit in my bedroom after I put my kids to sleep and cry.
You know what? I am too old to be worried about what somebody thinks of me. I have hit middle age, I look great. I just lost 75 pounds. Let’s do it!
