Hello Vancouverites! Connecting is one of the best ways to feel happier and become more informed! Come as you are, whether you are shy or outgoing. This is a genuine and fun group where all of us - new to alopecia or experienced, hair-wearer or au natural, seeking treatment or not - all come together and be supportive, informative, and positive for one another. After 4+ years of running this group, I can say for sure that you'll feel better after a meetup! :)
Come to our monthly meetups, or, start by joining this group and be in the loop of upcoming meetups! Sometimes I include alopecia news / remedy / stories too.
If your kid / teen has alopecia, please contact us and we'll put you in touch with other parents! It'll be, I believe, quite awesome for your child :)

Glad to have you JustineBC. Welcome.
Dear All, an eyebrow tip from Shari!
My eyebrow tattoos have faded to a greyish color. I have had them re-done several times but I just have not been able to obtain the nice light golden brown color I desire.
I have to go on a business trip twice a year and share a room with my co-worker. If it isn't weird enough to have a co-worker see you in your pjs and a sleep hat, I don't like when I wash off my makeup and my eyebrows look funny.
I have tried several things to obtain a semi-permanent brown: body ink, transfer tattoos, and henna paste. I will just say those options did not work the way I wanted them to work.
I had an idea and I bought some dark self tanner with the bronzer in it so you can see where you apply it. I painted that right on my tattoo eyebrows (3 times the first day). After the first day and a shower I could see my eyebrow are a nice golden brown and did not wash off! Now I just need to keep up on a minimal maintenance schedule.
Then it occurred to me to use it where I brush on my brownish eyeshadow to create a natural contouring shading on my eyelid! Yep, that worked too!
Thought I'd share this for those of you who might have the same desire for a semi-permant fix.
I think you guys are the best! So love being in your company and I find all of you very inspirational!
Once again - it was fabulous, with so many new faces. Thanks again Chris for hosting.
So much fun last night!!! I laughed so hard. Thanks everyone for coming, and thanks Chris for hosting! xoxoox
@Jeff Thanks! Have a fun meetup today! xo
@Deeann Looking forward to it too! :) My place is out of the way so I won't carpool with you! xo
Looking forward to seeing everybody this Sunday. I haven't talked to Jana, but perhaps we could meet at her place and go over to Chris's together. I'm happy to drive those coming from this direction too (Lea???).
Have a great meet up!!! Ours is tomorrow.
