I thought I was fine with being bald. But the chance of a cure has stirred up all sorts of feelings | Emma Beddington

It's almost 30 years since I lost my hair to alopecia. What if Pfizer's drug Litfulo could bring it back?

My hair looks incredible at the moment. I know because people keep telling me - in bakeries, cafes and when I was getting my tattooed eyebrows touched up yesterday.

What to say? Thanks!" feels conceited. My hairdresser's a genius," is (part of) the truth. I often narcissistically worry what would happen if he were to slip away before me; how wrong would it be to bring him five or six wigs to cut on his deathbed? In a similar vein, I was thrilled yesterday, when S, who has done my brows for decades, told me her daughter may be going into the family business - succession secured!
