"I knew just how she felt," said Knight. "I lost my hair in high schooland my company is the result of my need to create a place where people,especially women, could find fabulous hair solutions."

"Now the kids at school compliment me on my hair," says Brittany, a17-year-old high-school senior. "I'm also excited about going to Kentucky,because it will be great to meet people like me. I hope to make some newfriends there."

Brittany's mother, Cathy, is very happy too. "This has made a bigdifference in her life. She's happy at school again and I know that she'llmeet other kids with Alopecia and also possibly find some solidarity andhelp."
