Alopecia areata is a devastating condition for any patient as hair is a prized component of human beauty. Poems and folktales have been written about long, luxuriant, female, golden, and chestnut hair, and even the Bible discusses the diminishment of male power when hair is lost. The question arises as to whether anyone can be beautiful without hair. The answer is a definite yes. No one can dispute the virility of a shaved male head, indicating the absence of hair can make a strikingly beautiful fashion statement. This is sadly not the case for women. With hair loss, the decision can be made to readjust to a personal image devoid of hair, yet there are those who require hair for self-confidence or simply to fit in with the rest of society. This article discusses the currently available options for those who wish to pursue camouflage of hair loss involving the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes.
斑秃是一种令所有患者都感到痛苦的疾病，因为头发是人类美丽的重要组成部分。诗歌和民间故事都曾描写过女性美丽、浓密、金黄或栗色的长发，甚至《圣经》也讨论过男性脱发时权力的减弱。那么，没有头发的人是否还能美丽呢？答案是肯定的。没有人能否认剃光头的男性具有阳刚之气，这表明没有头发也可以成为一种引人注目的时尚宣言。但对于女性来说就不是这样了。脱发后，人们可以决定调整个人形象，接受没有头发的样子，但也有人需要头发来增强自信，或者只是为了融入社会。本文讨论了目前可供那些希望掩盖头皮、眉毛和睫毛脱发的人选择的方法。
