I have had AA since I was five, and then it turned into AT when I was 13, and now I have lost my eyebrows and am slowly losing my eyelashes too (yay!).

I have been wearing wigs since I was a freshman in high school and feel like it's still a constant struggle to find one that works for me. Right now I have been spending around 2k for a new wigs every 12-14 months, with varying levels of success. And I know that there are a bunch of people on here that have been struggling as much as I have. And that's why I have started making a documentary about it.

I am traveling to India in September to where much of the hair is donated to make wigs, and where a lot of it is processed and sold (at an extremely high rate) to be made into wigs. When I come back, I will be interviewing people who sell and style wigs about their experience working with people with hair loss, and the frustrations they go through finding a good product that keeps their customers happy.

Of course, the most important thing I need for this documentary is the stories of women who have been struggling with hair loss, only to have the added frustration of trying to find a good wig solution (if they choose to go that route). I also want to talk with people who have been able to make the choice to go au natural and not wear a wig at all!

If you are interested in telling me your story, please let me know on here and I would love to learn more about it. Particularly if you live in a small town or city where it's hard to find anyone with any knowledge of wigs and wig styling/maintenance.

I know that AlopeciaWorld is a very skeptical site that doesn't want their users to feel taken advantage of, so please trust me when I say that I just want help bringing my documentary to life, but it's very hard to find others in the Alopecia community in the real world, and I thought this site would be the best place to start!
