Description
Tereza never thought she would go bald before her boyfriend. She couldn't imagine missing the ponytail that tickled her back. And she would never have guessed that those around her and people on the street would express their support, believing she was undergoing chemotherapy. When, due to an autoimmune disease, she lost all her hair within a few months, she had to come to terms with her changed appearance, the feeling of losing her femininity, and the offers of wigs. The cycle of examinations and false hopes brought many situations that the author can view with perspective and humor. She describes her first year without hair in a fresh work that continues the rich tradition of autobiographical comics. One form of alopecia affects or has affected 147 million people worldwide. For about two percent of patients, alopecia is a lifelong companion. The comic not only raises awareness but also provides encouragement for patients coping with this condition.
