Emmy Combshas been redefining beauty standards and championing self-acceptance since she was a little girl.
Emmy is notable for using her face as a canvas, transforming it into a masterpiece with every look.
It wasnt like I one day had hair, then one day I lost it.
She continued: I had to go through kindergarten not having hair.
I had to go through first grade, second grade, third grade.
Going through school, not having hair is a lot different than losing it later on.
Im so happy that myparentsraised me the way I did.
Fewer than 200,000 people in the US have AU.
She also shared that she has never had eyelashes or eyebrows.
However, Emmy shared that the possibility of her growing hair, although slim, is still possible.
Its really just like, up to my body.
But the longer you have it, thedoctorssay, the longer you will have it.
Thats what theautoimmune disorderdisease, thats what it kind of says, you could grow hair one day.
Eyeshadow, however, became her way into makeup, as it was one product she could try.
Or like, What is causing you to be bald?
I started to do it really well, and theyre like, How did you do that?
And I realized I kind of had a natural talent for art and makeup.
She added: Since then, I loved sharing, my story.
I love sharing my life.
I love having alopecia.
[…] I honestly would never wish for actual hair.
Nevertheless, Emmys alopecia has brought its own challenges, especially in dealing with uninformed reactions.
She further explained: They thought I was a sick child.
I love to do trends.
This design, though expensive, was ideal for preventing accidental removal, particularly important for a young child.
Now, she enjoys them as creative accessories that add to her videos and bring her joy.
Now I love wearing wigs because its so fun, she said.
It makes for such great videos.
People love to watch it.
I love to wear it, so thats a fun accessory for me.
We really dont know what color my hair would be now.
Emmy, who now works full-time on her social media platform, was initially a self-taught makeup artist.
She concluded: Maybe for a follow-up interview.
