Kaz Crossley opened up about her hair loss and changed outlook on life during an emotional chat on tonight’s Love Island. The ITV star spoke to newcomer Ron Hall - who later chose to couple up with her - about her experiences over the past few years. “After everything that’s happened to me on my journey, it’s made me who I am and made me do the things I do now, you know? Even like shaving my hair off, it’s because I had alopecia. I shaved it off for charity,” she revealed.
“No way! What charity?” Ron asked, with Kaz referring to the Little Princess Trust as she shared: “It’s a charity that makes wigs for children going through alopecia and cancer.”. After Ron said her actions were “amazing,” Kaz coyly said: “Yeah, now I embrace the short hair.” Ron didn’t hold back in his response, exclaiming: “It’s sexy as f**k, it’s fit as f**k.”.
Kaz’s choice to “embrace” her new look comes after she previously admitted to FUBAR Radio: “I feel like a boy. I'd be lying if I said that I felt super confident or I love it. It's weird for me to not have my hair but you know if it means that I take a bit of my confidence away to give these girls their confidence, then I'll do that.”.
In 2023, Kaz hinted that stress is the main trigger for her alopecia, though it can also be influenced by injuries, illness and environmental factors. "I became consumed with sadness every time I looked in the mirror and made it worse in my head," she said in an Instagram post at the time.
