A movement is afoot to pressure toy-maker Mattel into making a bald Barbie as a symbol for little girls with cancer and other health conditions that make their hair fall out feel normal.

On the groups Facebook Page is posted:

We would like to see a Beautiful and Bald Barbie made to help young girls who suffer from hair loss due to cancer treatments, Alopecia or Trichotillomania . Also, for young girls who are having trouble coping with their mother's hair loss from chemo. Many children have some difficulty accepting their mother, sister, aunt, grandparent or friend going from a long haired to a bald.

Accessories such as scarves and hats could be included. This would be a great coping mechanism for young girls dealing with hair loss themselves or a loved one. We would love to see a portion of proceeds go to childhood cancer research and treatment. Let's get Mattell's attention!

Do you think this is a good idea? Let me know in the comment section below.
