Hairlessness, not conforming to the norm, being different - many of those affected suffer from psychological problems in addition to hair loss. Around two percent of the population is affected by alopecia areata and around 40,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year.
Romina Rausch and the Kopfrausch team are committed to supporting those affected, combating unnecessary shame and educating the public.
No Hair is Also a Hairstyle – Public Relations
Romina Rausch was diagnosed with alopecia areata at a young age. For years she thought she was alone with this fate, until she learned at a meeting of alopecia sufferers in Hamburg that she was far from the only one with this autoimmune disease. Liberated and strengthened by this realization, she founded the Alopecia Areata Germany/Switzerland Association in 2016 to raise awareness of the disease among the Swiss population and beyond.
Too many of those affected still feel that they do not conform to the norm, and this is an intolerable situation that Romina and her colleagues want and will change.
Kopfrausch is therefore in constant contact with important institutions such as the Cancer League and the Alopecia Areata Society Germany/Switzerland.
You don't need to change your life, just live your change.
A strong community
A community of those affected strengthens and supports us, helps us to overcome the pitfalls of everyday life and is a balm for our self-esteem. Whether in the context of joint events, specialist lectures or media work - Romina Rausch is committed to all those affected every day.
For example, in your role as the person responsible for the Alopecia Areata Switzerland association. Exchange of experience and information, mutual support, solidarity, care and advice are important means of breaking down prejudices and strengthening those affected.
We are much more than just our hair!
