Hello, Beth. I have AU since 2009, and this year the hair inside my nose grew back, and some grey hairs in my scalp,but they grow very slowly. I shave my scalp once a month, and the hair is about 1 cm or less, and it covers about 10% of my scalp. I´ve been having this growth since october´11, and I don´t know if this is a good thing, but it gives me a hope.Who knows?

I have had AU for about 2 years. Prior to that I had very small patches that came and went about 5 times over 8 years. over the last month the light hair on my face has started to grow back as well as the hair on my ears. First it was once little spot so I tried not to get too excited as this would not be the hair I would want to grow back first but then the rest of my hair on my face started to grow back and it seems to be the normal type of hair I had before. Has anyone else experienced this after having AU? Was it just a start and did you have any other hair grow or just facial hair. I am trying to decide if I should have any optimism that this is the beginning of something bigger!

Thank you

Hello Melissa. I'm an avid skier and generally love winter. But yes, my head gets cold if I'm careless for a moment. I have many toques (Camadian for winter hat - rhymes with nuke) Some thin some very thick. Sporting ones and "dressy" ones. My challenge was finding ones that stayed on my head. They would slide off or slide over my eyes. But then I discovered jogging toques. I think a bald person invented those. They resist sliding off and they come in many thicknesses. I have a good collection of those. When I ski I wear a thin running toque under my helmet. Very warm. So if you're having challenges keeping your head warm, try a running store and check out their winter running hats. Although I'm sure "hot shots" would work too. They work in gloves, I'm sure they'll work in hats too. :-).

Melissa, I'm with you! This has been my first winter w/o hair, and I"m FREEZING! I'm always wearing hats and long underwear, but I am cold all the time. Then, suddenly my coldness turns into a hot flash, and I'm sweating! Go figure. :-/

My head is cold, how about you?
You know how they sell those little heaters you can put in your gloves to keep your hands warm on skiing trips? Wish someone would invent ones that can slide over my scalp.

Hey everyone, I'm new to AW but have had AU for over 20 years. So nice to be here, don't know why it took me so long to look. When I first had hair loss so long ago there was nothing like this but I guess technology and social media has changed in the past 20 yrs...lol. I just want to say thank you to you all for sharing. I knew I wasn't alone, it's sooooo nice to be here!!

Hello, everybody. It´s my first post here, and I´m glad to be part of Alopecia World. My hair loss begun when I was 46 (2007)I have universalis now ,and I think I learned to accept Alopecia as part of my life. Sometimes I miss my hair, but I realized that we have only this life, so we must enjoy every minute of it. Even hairless, we can do everything like others (except washing and combing our own hair....)So, life is good, and is worth to be lived.
