The bald and beautiful Facebook campaign was created by two mothers to help children

An online Facebook page went viral and got over 150,000 Facebook “likes” to have a Bald Barbie made to help little girls that are Bald to know that they are beautiful with or without hair.

Mattel spokesman Alan Hilowitz confirmed that the doll will be put into

 production, complete with wigs, hats, scarves and additional accessories and classified as a “friend” of Barbie.

He said:

it would give “a traditional fashion play experience” and there would be the option to remove the wigs and head coverings.

The campaign called  “bald and beautiful”  was created on Facebook in January by two mothers whose daughters lost their hair due to cancer treatment.

Campaign co-founder Jane Bingham said she never expected the campaign to gather the momentum that it did to help those with hair loss.

“We thought it would be popular with plenty of people, but we did not expect it to balloon the way it did across the world and throughout the media,” she told CBS News.

“It’s been great, we couldn’t have done it. They wouldn’t have heard us if it was just a couple of people writing to them.”

After meeting another mother in a similar situation in an online pregnancy chatroom, Rebecca Sypin, the pair came up with the idea to help young children.

Those behind the campaign said they had not tried to bully the company into action, but instead sought to highlight a condition many children suffer from.

“We are not demanding; we are not asking people to boycott,” Ms Sypin said when the idea was conceived.

“That wasn’t our goal at all. We’re just trying to raise awareness.”

We are so happy about this we tweeted the saying about the bald barbie this is such a good idea and is going to help alot of young beautiful girls.
