I've felt really ugly. But on top of that, not just in a vanity sense, but, you know, I had just felt helpless. I had felt like, I'm watching this thing fall away from me, I'm watching my hair fall out gradually, and I have no control," she said.

"It was just hair-by-hair falling out. I thought, OK, I'm going to start looking at wigs. And so I went on weeks' worth of deep dives, reading and watching YouTube videos." "Wig is a weird word, I'm not a fan," she added.
