Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes sudden hair loss in patches.
The clip shared on Instagram by Tiffanis Mirror LLC, an online wig shop in the US, shows a woman standing behind the girl, asking her to close her eyes. The child Klara, diagnosed with Down syndrome, closes her eyes and the woman places the wig on her head. The child opens her eyes and breaks into a wide smile. Two women sitting nearby are heard cheering for her and the woman who fitted the wig asks her if she likes it. The child makes a gesture with her hands to show her delight.
“Sweet 10 year old Klara was the absolute highlight of my week! She is so special, so beautiful, so brave, so confident, and has the sweetest personality!” read the caption of the clip.
