People are so surprised to see a bald woman

People are so surprised to see a bald woman Miss Delaware, Kayla Martell, suffers from alopecia areata, a condition that causes hair loss.She said she started going bald when she was 10 years old.Martell says she doesn't wear a wig during everyday life, but she does use a wig during competition.

"People are so surprised to see a bald woman, let alone a bald beauty pageant contestant," Martell said. "You want to have a Miss America that you are comfortable walking up to and talking to and not worrying 'Oh, should I mention this? Should I ask her about her hair?'"

Martell entered her statewide competition five times before being crowned Miss Delaware.
