Alopecia is a condition that has been under reported and subsequently misunderstood. Although it is mainly seen to be in adults, the onset of alopecia begins in early childhood, an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss in both males and females. Alopecia can vary widely in its effects, from removal of head hair to complete removal of body hair. It is very unpredictable.
Fashion designer and alopecia sufferer Susan Beausang has designed a scarf with the slogan 'Beautiful Scarves for Beautiful Heads.' The Beaubeau scarf is intended as a fashionable alternative to wigs, and comes in a range of colours, prints, solids and designer fabrics.
Beausang has expressed her mission to unite the world of fashion to medical head wear by designing a scarf that creatively combines function with fashion.
The Beaubeau scarves are available in a choice of fabrics, such as silk, rayon, and workout fabric. Those living in cooler climes may wish to consider purchasing a scarf made from a combination of cotton and cashmere. All scarves come with a matching scrunchie, to enable a choice of styles.
When asked how her scarves help women and girls coping with medical hair loss find fashion and self confidence, Beausang said: "I have lost my hair but not my sense of style. Alopecia handed me an opportunity to help other women cope with their loss of hair in a dignified and stylish manner."
