Parents will do anything to make their children feel better, so when one Oregon dad noticed his son was embarrassed by an auto-immune disease that left him bald, he didn’t hesitate to give himself a matching haircut.
Many babies are born with little to no hair on their head, which is why dad Koki Gomez didn’t think anything was abnormal with his baby son. However, as his little boy grew he started noticing hair loss and bald patches. When he went to the doctor two years ago, he finally found out that his little boy had Alopecia areata, which is an autoimmune disease that causes baldness and hair loss.
His little boy quickly started to lose most of his hair, and was left almost completely bald. He would often wear hats out to cover up his head, but when Gomez noticed how self-conscious it was making his son, he decided to match his hair and shave everything off.
“He almost lost all his hair. Thank God that he seems to be getting most of his hair back. When he had lost most of it, I was willing to match his hair style. Now that he’s got most of it back, nothing’s going to be any different. I’ll match his too,” Gomez wrote in a post on Facebook after he began shaving matching bald spots in his own hair to match his son.
