    Hi Julia!

    I'm sorry it took a bit for me to respond. I've been so super busy lately but the wigs I carry are all custom made so once a customer sends in their head measurements, the wig is then made to those custom measurements, large or small. Thanks for asking hun! Let me know if you have any more questions:)

    Ooh, forgot about the tape question. No the tape (adhesives) do not have any long term effect on the skin if used properly. Usually clients where their pieces for about a week or two, remove for cleansing of both the wig and their skin, then reapply. Also, the process of the application includes a skin protectant so that also aides in preventing any unwanted long term effects on the skin.

    Julia ,

    Make sure and load her with vitamins. especially biotin it seems to work for most. I am giving my daughter supplements, and she has to wear her hair natural the dr said any tension could cause new spots.

    Children are resiliant they could care less it is us that go crazy at least we dont have to worry about our hair falling out worrying lol

    Hey Julia....I just tried to upload my story to you. Hope I did it properly. Not sure if it's what you had in mind or not. Let me know. Take care.
  • Shannon

    wow, julia! you are stunning! i used to not believe it when people would tell me i was beautiful being bald. but now that i see it in other people it starts to help me be more accepting of myself
  • Tray (Jazz's Mom)

    Hello,
    Hope you had a great weekend. I know you said you emailed me your information but i cant seem to find your number. can you send it to me to traylaunda@excite.com.
    Thanks again. Are Monday nights a good time to call?
    Let me know what the best times would be to call.

    P.S.
    I was telling Stephanie and Trina about Noni

    Hi. Hope you and your daughter had a great weekend.

    I went grocery shopping over the weekend and was reminded of a juice called Noni. Shortly after my mother had a stroke she started on this juice along with the rest of my family. It works for the entire body.
    My mother used to be tired, have aching muscles and all sorts of things.. Well a just a few weeks after consistently drinking the Noni juice she had energy and less aches every day.

    I bought some for my daughter to start taking (there are different name brands depending on which you have, my daughter takes one teaspoon for every 17lbs she weighs). The guy that was telling me about it over the weekend said that it is very, very good for the immune system. Which we both know is the root of alopecia. He had knowledge of alopecia and said that this would be great for the immune system. On top of that it has all sorts of vitamins and minerals that are just good.
    I myself can’t stomach the taste but they also have it in capsules and candy. I will be picking up the capsules for myself. Per the gentleman it can be added to a drink instead of taken directly and it won’t loose any strength.
    Maybe you should read up on it and add it to your daughter’s vitamin source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noni). You can get it from a health food or vitamin store.

    Sharing the knowledge.
    Let me know what you think.
  • Tray (Jazz's Mom)

  • JayB

    A newbie saying thanks for the wonderful energy.
  • Jill

    I know....I'm terrible!!! Ok. So I have Wed and Thursday off this week...as in tomorrow and the next day!! If one of those will work for you we will definitely do it!!! Sorry I've been such a slacker!!
  • Tray (Jazz's Mom)

    I really enjoyed the conversation last night. You are very uplifiting and positive.
    All that talking last night and we didnt get into detail about the Book!!!
    I have to apologize if i was rambling last night. When you text me I had already taken my Ambian (sleep aide) and it was kicking hard while we were on the phone. I was trying to fight it.
    With everything that is going on, I have a hard time sleeping. It's been an ongoing thing now. But any hoot.
    Thanks for being supportive and giving the booster talk! Next time i will be more alert. I will tell Jazz tonight that i spoke with you about her and next time maybe you and she can speak.
    Thanks again!!
  • Tray (Jazz's Mom)

    hi i will make sure i do that for you and i will try to get involved.
  • Tray (Jazz's Mom)

  • Jill

    Hey!! Just wanted to say I had a great time at lunch today. It was great to meet you and I hope we can hang out again soon!! (Maybe next time the boys can come ;o) )
  • Dotty

    Hi Julia,
    If you're around, I'm in the chatroom. If not, I got your comment and I'm really excited about your book. I can't wait to see the final copy. I'm still trying to figure out a way to get to the conference because I really want to meet you face to face. Chat soon my friend.....Love, Dotty
  • Ashley

    Hey Julia! Thanks so much for your nice comment about my hair! I love having a mohawk, haha. I would love to help you with your book in anyway i can.
  • spaganya

    Hello there :)
    what conference??
  • spaganya

    I would like to, but i dont know if i will be able to - i have a job issues, but it seems like its fun times. If this is the same conference that was in DC in the recent year i think? i wanted to go then, but ended up having to travel to california that week for my job. :-( so it always depends on that.
  • kat533

    Dear Julia, I have to say between you and Cheryl you both are absolutely beautiful. I am quite jealous, you both have a radiance about you that is expressed wonderfully by just being you.
  • Melissa

    Oh yes! I'll be at the conference. Thanks for taking my survey. I was worried I wouldn't get the 30 responses I needed and now i have over 75!!! That will make the statistics that much more believeable. I will do anything to help you with your book, too!
  • Jill

    That sounds like a plan... I definitely believe we know each other for a reason too. People will know (at least from the 2 of us) that Bald is Beautiful!!! Anyhoo, holla at you later. Have an awesome weekend.

  • Carri Reynolds

    Hey.. I am sorry I never called you back.. I have been busy with spring break and life... I have been kind of down in the dumps the last couple of weeks.. trying to figure out how to cope and not let my emotions go crazy on me. I am glad I finally got on this site.. I think it will help... especially when I am feeling like no one understands..... thanks for the invite!!!
    Carri
  • Jill

  • Yvonne~Yhoney

    Love the redesigned site! :) I have told you that I have your website listed on my "Alopecia Awareness Cards" I give to people who ask why I’m bald…or just see the cards on my desk and say; “Oh you have theses of anyone who wants to ask about your head?”, And I say to them, "Yes go ahead and take a card, and check out the websites too"…with a chuckle, people are so funny.
  • Joan Gundersen

    I was wondering what the book will cover re:alopecia. Thanks, joan
  • Matt

    That sounds like a very interesting project. I'll certainly give it some thought!

  • Ev

    Hey, I am going to back out. I dont think that I can get photos done. I enquired with one photographer and he quoted $300. I am quite busy with work as well. Good luck with it and I cant wait to see it.

  • LeslieAnn Butler

    Hi Julia,
    Great that you are writing a book!
    Mine has just been published and people can get advance copies now. Take a look at my page for more info. It was a lot of hard work, but I wanted to help, as I'm sure you do.
    If you want to talk about books, let me know!
    LeslieAnn
  • Trina

    Julia,

    I am unable to get into my hotmail account for some reason. All the information that you sent is in there. Can you send the information to me again at Niyah_1999@yahoo.com. I have the story done and will be sending it to you. The pics I may need to send them next week by overnight mail. I have been a little under the weather.
  • Ev

    Hey Julia, Thanks for your message. I have sent some more emails out to some photographers but I dont think I will be able to organise anything prior to the deadline...
  • gerald

    You are one beautiful bald lady!
    My wife is also beautiful, and she is bald with alopecia universalis.
    To me, an attractive woman who is bald is often more beautiful than women with hair. You can really see a woman's feminine features when she is bald.
  • Karen

    Like I said before to you Julia; dark people look absolutely ravishing being bald. It is like you guys have this glow.
  • Stephanie

    Hey Julia, thanks for the add. You have a very beautiful family!
  • gerald

    No, my wife isn't on this website.
    She is on anothe alopecia website just for women, it is the "Heralopecia" website.
  • Stephanie

    I won't be going to this year's conference, but I'd like to make it a goal to attend soon. I'm pretty new to this site -- continually amazed by everyone here :)
  • tony

    Funny you say that she's great happy and full of energy, makes you realize as you said as we grow we lose whats really important.I;m sure she will have to deal with some cruelty in school in the future but hopefully she stays with the same attitude.The other day she said "daddy its nones business about my hair but us" almost cried and laughed at the same time.
  • kastababy

    Julia you know you are SO wrong for that!!! But since we are being friendly rivals, I have to get mine in too!

    GO LAKERS!!!! There's always next year for Kobe!!!
  • Shannon

    Thanks for letting me know that everything is on track. That is great! By the way, you have a BEAUTIFUL family!!!
  • Amy Bard

    I won't be able to make it...I started a new job at the beginning of the year and I don't have any vacation time so I can't go. I would love to go since this is the closest it will probably ever be to where I live. I hope next year to go since I will have vacation time then. I quess you are going? If so, I hope you have a wonderful time.
  • Linda

    Hi Julia,
    I'm shaving my head this summer and your picture has given me even more courage to do it. Hopefully I'll be as beautiful and confident as you once it's done. I have AA and I'm so tired of the wigs, weaves and hair pieces. Your family is beautiful! Take care and stay blessed
  • Josh and Kiah

    I'm glad you let me know about the site. I plan on emailing some of the people I met and letting my daughters email and invite their new friends as well. What a great way to keep in touch and get ready for next year! They are already excited about it. I'll put that little story together for you asap. What a great concept you have, its going to be fantastic.
