Alonzo Arnold, a well-known celebrity hairstylist and fashion influencer, has recently stated, “When it comes to dressing, a lot of y’all ain’t seeing me.” Alonzo may be popular for his stunning Instagram posts, but there’s a lot more to his story.
In 2009, Alonzo’s life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with a prolactinoma. This is a rare noncancerous tumor located on the pituitary gland, which is found under the brain. The key impact of having a prolactinoma is that it decreases the levels of certain sex hormones—estrogen in women and testosterone in men. Alonzo shared that he produces more female hormones than male hormones, which contributes to his feminine appearance and voice.
