Now, in a partnership with pharmaceutical company Pfizer, she’s sharing her story to raise awareness about the condition.
I sat down with Ashley for Health to discuss the partnership and why she’s raising awareness now.

Opening up about my journey with this disease has helped me connect with people who have faced similar things,” Ashley Tisdale said. “Being vulnerable can be hard, but it’s been amazing to share what I’ve learned through my journey with this disease. So many people experience alopecia areata, and too many of them feel like they need to keep it to themselves. But connecting with other people who have experienced it [feels] so validating and supportive.”
