Welcome to Plathville’s Moriah Takes Off Her Wig in Public

Moriah Plath has a vulnerable moment with her siblings on Welcome to Plathville while taking off her wig for the first time in public amid her emotional journey with alopecia.

“OK, nobody laugh. Or actually everybody laugh,” Moriah, 23, tells her big brother Ethan Plath and younger sister Amber Plath in Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at the Tuesday, April 7, episode of the TLC series. “It helps when people laugh sometimes.”

Moriah proceeds to remove her blonde wig and reveal her bald head before trying on a new wig.

“You’re so beautiful” the beauty supply store salesperson chimes in, pointing out that Moriah has the same cute dimples as her siblings, who are smiling as they watch her get styled.

“I’ve never taken my wig off before in public,” Moriah tells the cameras. “It’s definitely freeing to just be honest.”

The reality star, who has been vocal about her alopecia journey since 2024, adds that to “get that out there” and show all sides of herself is a relief.

“I ain’t got nothing to hide. I can’t anymore,” Moriah shares.

As Moriah steps out into the spotlight and embraces her hair loss, both Ethan, 27, and Amber, 17, reveal how proud they are of their sister’s courage.

“Moriah’s, you know, she’s precious, and I think she’s beautiful whether she has hair or not,” Ethan says in a confessional, noting he “can’t imagine what it’d be like, especially for a woman” to have no control over your hair.

Amber tells the cameras that Moriah is doing “really good these days” and that her newfound confidence is clear to see.

“She has her weirdness back, which is her personality,” Amber says with a smile. “It really makes you see that self worth doesn’t come from your hair or, you know, superficial things. I think it comes from, you know, your heart, feeling loved and accepted.”

During the family outing to the beauty store, Moriah looks happy as she tries on wigs and embraces different styles.

“Ethan ain’t saying nothing bad, so it must be good,” the salesperson says with a laugh, which makes Moriah giggle. Ethan confirms, “It looks good,” which Moriah tells the store associate “means a lot.”

Moriah previously talked about her alopecia journey during a September 2024 episode of Welcome to Plathville. She revealed that when she was about 3 or 4 she lost all of her hair.

“It started falling out and it didn’t come back till I was 8,” she recalled. “These last several months, I have noticed, for myself at least, heartbreak triggers my alopecia. I think that it’s an outward reflection of what’s going on inside.”

Moriah noted that following a 2023 breakup, she “definitely lost about half my hair” and wanted to shave it off.

In July 2025, Moriah took to Instagram to address her appearance after she once again “lost all my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes.”

She shared, “It was extremely hard and emotional and I had to come to terms with it. I cried an awful lot and then told myself oh well, it is what it is. I’ll do what I can and make the most of it.”

Moriah revealed at the time that she was “not very talented” with wigs yet or drawing on her eyebrows. “So if I look a bit odd or different now that would most likely be why 🙈I’m learning to laugh where I can and cry when I need to and just accepting it,” she added.

Welcome to Plathville airs on TLC Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
