I’ve seen so many doctors over the years and so many tests and different opinions. Most just shrug their shoulders and say they have no idea. Undefined Alopecia is the last diagnosis I had five years…Continue

Hi ladies, I had no idea that anyone had joined the group that I started on a whim months ago. Welcome! I'll have to check back here more often!

I started losing my hair 4 weeks ago. I have lost 50% and decided to buy a wig last night and wear it to work today. I have an older sister who has AU for the past 30 years so I figure I am going to lose it all. It was so hard to go to work today. I left after 4 hours. I will be working half days until I get used to it. I have lost all the hair on my arms and legs as well. I think because I know what my sister went through for years before she would wear a wig I sort of fast forwarded to the wig before it all fell out. any words of wisdom?

Hi, thanks for having me.
I'm not completely bald but I believe if I didnt keep my hair in braids I would be. Whenever my natural hair is left out, no matter how clean, it itches like crazy non stop usually in the same spots. Eventually hair is dropping from my head....more in my comb.....all over my pillow and clothes....
I went through the phase of dealing with weight issues and self esteem because I hid behind my hair..MY HAIR, not wigs and weaves. I hardly see my own hair anymore except when its time to do it over. I take out the braids and have new growth and a head full of thick hair...with some lenght too. I decide to leave it out, and soon you can see my scalp. I think very highly of anyone (especially women) who go clean head because I'm the biggest cluck cluck you ever saw. Had my hair (against my wishes of course) cut short when I was 16 and cried like a baby for a month......refused to ever let anyone near my head with a pair of scissors again. ..

I know people will treat me differently without hair. Scares me to death.

I love the ability to change my look every birthday, or when starting a new endeavor. I feel like a whole new person, with more power for the job/trip/whatever! Also, I like that I can keep the politics of my head out of it, and just get on with my job.
