Hair is usually a big part of any woman’s identity. Unfortunately, some ladies have medical issues that prevent their luscious manes from growing to their full potential.As you can imagine, it’s especially hard for these women to embrace the “bald is beautiful” look when there are so few examples of just how stunning females can look without hair.Luckily, Kristi Tavenner and her 7-year-old daughter, Rose, changed everything when the pair posed for a bald photo shoot.Kristi was diagnosed with breast cancer and became bald due chemotherapy. On the other hand, little Rose was completely healthy apart from her hair loss, due to alopecia.It isn’t the first time someone has embraced their hair loss in a photo shoot, but it might be the first time such an adorable mother-daughter duo got in front of the camera together for this amazing reason.[H/T: People]

Kellie shares in the caption:Both of these gorgeous ladies are bald for different reasons. My beautiful friend Kristi has been battling breast cancer and her sweet 7-year-old daughter, Rose, suffers from alopecia.

Being bald may not be what we consider to be conventionally beautiful, but the fearlessness (and good looks) of these two transcend traditional standards.
