The Children's Alopecia Project is having ALOPECIAPALOOZA 2011 outside of Cincinnati, Ohio this year from August 18 to August 21, 2011.

A camp devoted specifically to children with alopecia and their family. We want to help build self-esteem, provide support and raise awareness. It's what we do evey single day, not one a year. It's the reason we are here!

I am Jeff Woytovich and my wife has had Alopecia Areata since 1976 and my 13 year old daughter has had Alopecia Universalis since she was 5 years old. This is why I founded CAP and why I care. I have experience the ups and downs, the snake oil, and everything else you have experienced. I wanted more for my child so she had the tools to be the best. I could not find it, so CAP was born!!

ALOPECIAPALOOZA is FREE to all CAP Kids. (children with alopecia) Heck, everything CAP does is free for the CAP Kids, we never charge them. If you would like information how family members can attend for free please email Betsy at betsywoytovich@yahoo.com, make sure you tell her you want to regisiter on the website too (again, free.)

I've been using lotion feel strange but i remind my self Im not putting it in my hair just on my skin. Im also thinking I should use a sun protector as well, not big into hats, and summer is on its way.

someone suggested that I just use conditioner to help keep my newly bald head nice and moist, it seems to be helping, itching has cut down! Has anyone herd or had any success with changing your diet to mostly natural foods? A family friend suggested I see a expensive specialist that will give me vitamins and change my diet to try and switch back the immune system.

I know what you mean, but I believe in positive thinking! Do your best to eat healthy and keep the stress level managed. This will give your hair the best chance possible to grow and stay with you. I wish you the best.

Hi Angie,
thanks so much for your comment, you've made my day (in a calm, controlled way as I try not to get too hopeful). Vic x

Hi Vicki,

White hairs could mean new growth. Hair looks thin and white when it's making a comeback. Then, it eventually gets darker and stronger like your real hair.

Hi all, I am a new member of AW and would like to know th AA cycle, some members talk of burning and scalp irritation........ I currently have a 5cm bald patch which started in December and my husband tells me today there appears to be some white hairs now. Does anyone know what this means?

Hello everyone! I'm so glad to be apart of the group! I know many of us have embraced the hair loss and love rockin smooth heads while others may want want to switch it up a little bit some times. I am currently starting my own lace wig line. Lace wigs are the most natural looking wigs one can purchase.  The line is coming soon but in the meantime any one who is new to shopping for wigs, weaves and hair pieces I would love to help you shop for the perfect hair piece. Please email if you would like assistance for a small fee, usually only 5-10% of percent of your purchase.
