A seven-year-old shows us how you can still win Crazy Hair Day when you don't have hair to make crazy.
She has a medical condition called alopecia which causes the hair to fall out in round patches.
Her mom, Daniella Wride, noticed her hair falling out while she was brushing her hair one morning.
Daniella, a nurse, believes Gianessa's hair loss was triggered by immense stress from her grandmother's death.
“It was upsetting to her,” Gianessa’s mother said. “and it was hard for me as well, but not because of what she looks like."
"I was more upset thinking that somebody might bully my daughter and I didn’t want her to ever feel less beautiful than she is."
When Crazy Hair Day arrived, Daniella had the creative idea to adorn her daughter's bald head in jewels and stickers to celebrate her baldness, instead.
Gianessa told People, "I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can’t."
"I’m thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some sparkly butterflies and flowers."
She is definitely inspiring others to learn to embrace their baldness, as well as working to normalize it for others who may not understand the condition.
