Stef gives us some great tips about how to tell your friends about your Alopecia Areata.

She used to feel absolutely terrified about telling people about her Alopecia Areata, but has since learned a lot about how to tell people and feel confident doing so. Here are some of the main tips she recommends:
🌟 When you tell people, make sure to cover the main questions - What is Alopecia Areata? Is it contagious? Is there a cure?
Do it in a safe and neutral place
Make sure people know that they can ask you questions if they have them🌟 When you talk to people about it, be confident and open about the condition.
🌟 Have a stable network of people who support you, especially for the moments you are feeling nervous or overwhelmed
🌟 Build your inner confidence and resilience so you are not destroyed when people don’t react how you’d hoped
🌟 Give people information not just about the condition, but also about what you might be going through emotionally
🌟 If you’re feeling nervous - you can always make a joke to lighten the mood!
🌟 “Be bold, be bald, be you!”
