Hi Erin! I'm glad you found this site! It's always nice to be able to talk to others about the same thing that you are going through.

I just posted a blog on my page with basic information about my hair, so you should take a look at that. They can definitely style hair in a natural way without having to have bangs! You just need to really trust that you stylist knows what he/she is doing and is very experienced in working with hair pieces. Let me know if you have any specific questions about mine.

HI Erin, We are here for you if you ever want to talk! Welcome new friend!

Welcome!!!

Welcome.

Hi Erin. I'm 36 and living with alopecia too! I'm in Baltimore, MD. Have had aa on and off for about 15 years. Right now, totally bald, no brows or lashes. Looking into getting them tattooed to avoid drawing them on every day!

Looks like you already have :)

HI, We've been to Alanta Georgia before! We loved it there! We are so glad to have this site to meet new friends!

Hi, Erin!
Nice to meet you- Sounds like we have some similar histories with Alopecia.
This site has been wonderful to be able to connect with so many others and knowing you are not alone!

Hi Erin.

Thanks. The photos are taken in Prague. I was there on vacation in 2003 and 2005 =)

How are you?

Roger.

HI Erin, I met my husband through Match.com. I lived in North Carolina and he lived in PA. He came down to North Carolina 6 months after we were communicating by phone and by email. He actually proposed to me over the phone. He said he fell in love with my heart and by us talking. We have been happily married for 7 years now. He is one terrific guy!

Hi.

Im fine too thanks. Its snowing here in Stockholm. So crazy =)

Take care, Roger.

HI, its me again. Yes I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful husband. I believe truly in my heart that there is a soul mate for everyone in this world. Yours will soon happen! I have a good feeling about it.

Hey there! Well I did it! Got the brows and the eyeliner tattooed this past week. Have to say, I LOVE it! It's not completely healed up yet (gets a little scabby for the first few days, then flakes off to reveal true color). But I can already tell from the shape of the brows and stuff that I'm going to be very happy with them for a very long time. The lady who did mine actually had her makeup tattooed on, too - even though she doesn't have alopecia. She has naturally light reddish blond hair and her brows just didn't show up much. So she just filled them in....doesn't pluck, just tattooed them darker. Looks good....totally natural....I would never have known hers were done. I'll post my pics as soon as all healed up!!!

Hi Erin,
I have AU and have had it for many years -- how are you doing with it?
I have friends in Marietta...that's not far from Atlanta, is it?

Give your doggie a hug for me!

I noticed you do not live to far from Nashville and I just wanted to stop by and tell you I am hosting a Links for Locks tournament here in the Nashville Area Friday Sept 19th and would love if you could make it!!! There are some people coming up from GA and down from KY !!! Would be awesome if you could come. It starts at 1:30 in the afternoon. Let me know if you would like some info. I am in need of golfers and maybe a few more sponsors ... if you have any connections or know of anyone who would like to play please let me know :) thanks
