Her figure may not exist in nature, but Barbie’s status as a role model for young girls is undeniable.
Now a movement is afoot on Facebook to create a “Bald Barbie” as a role model for young girls going through chemotherapy or suffering from hair loss conditions such as alopecia.
“We would like to see a Beautiful and Bald Barbie made to help young girls who suffer from hair loss due to cancer treatments, Alopecia or Trichotillomania,” reads the introduction to the Facebook page, Beautiful and Bald Barbie! Let’s see if we can get it made.
The Facebook page, created by a group of women who either had children dealing with baldness or were dealing with it themselves due to chemotherapy, went up a few days before Christmas. As of Friday, it has more than 86,000 “likes.”

Alopecia is described as a condition in which the immune system eradicates the hair follicles. Alopecia can lead to hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. In most cases, the hair is lost in small, quarter-sized amounts and usually does not exceed the amount of a few patches. In more extreme cases, Alopecia can progress to cause complete hair loss of the scalp and other areas of the body. White blood cells in the immune system rapidly attack cells in hair follicles that make the hair grow. These affected cells become small and slow down hair production.^
