Alopecia and Parenthood with Ashley Kaplan

In this episode, Lindsey talks alopecia and parenthood with Ashley Kaplan. Like Lindsey, Ashley was diagnosed with alopecia at age 2. She takes us through her own childhood journey that ultimately brought her to wearing wigs. For awhile, they had to be the same cut and color every single year when she’d get them prepped for school. Falling in love with her now husband and giving birth to her daughter really informed how she views her alopecia these days. Ashley has great insights and fun stories about meeting her husband in college and being a bald badass mom of two. She addressed what it’s really like to be a parent with alopecia and shared some great tips for dating and wearing wigs. Follow Lindsey on Instagram at @verynearlyalmost and @lindssully.
