It was when my sister started losing her hair that I felt sick inside all over again. My sister had THE hair. Beautiful, naturally curly, she is talented at creating styles and being complimented all the time on how awesome her hair… Continue

Today I went to the local shop that supplies wigs for cancer patients. It was a big step because I have come to accept that this is now my reality. I think the hardest part is knowing it is inevitable that I will lose the rest of my hair but wanting to hold on. I feel guilty sometimes because I hate what is happening, but I know my reality could be so much worse. I try to stay positive and remember that.

I love this place.
I hope you are doing well with your alopecia. I just had my 2nd anniversary with mine. It's been quite the journey.

Welcome to Alopecia World.

I know how hard alopecia can be; I have had it for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" (It just won two national awards!) You can find out more on my page -- and it's available on Amazon.com, and on this site under "Bookshelf." Let me know if there's anything else I can do!
