Hi, I'm 26 years old and have had alopecia since I was 8. Almost 4 years ago, I shaved my head because the bald spots got so big I could no longer cover them up... I've been bald ever since. Now that my hair has started to grow back, I choose to keep it shaved, if not for self preservation, for the ease of getting ready in the morning. ;o)
Alopecia has helped me see that what is on the outside doesn't count near as much as whats on the inside. I've graduated from veterinary school and just married the man of my dreams. If my alopecia decides to return one day, I'll be okay with it. It's just hair as far as I'm concerned.
Hey Jill, we have to met up...I'm here in Louisville too. you can also check me on www.bbibby.org (Bold Beauty is Being Beautifully You)....Take Care and Congrats on your near Future adventures!
Wow...the same weekend...what a pity =( But im very excited about going over from Sweden for my first time =) I know it going to be a thing for life for me.
Hi thanks for the add. Congrats I read you are getting married and going to be a vet that is awesome :) I've had alopecia since I was 11 and I too shaved my head because the spots got so big about 2 year ago. Now none of my hair is growing back and I have lost my eyebrows and eye lashes. It's weird being our age and having no hair but luckily we have both found men to accept us and love us unconditionally :) I hope you have a terrific wedding!
