I know how hard alopecia can be; I have had it for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" You can find out more on my page -- and it's available on this site under "Bookshelf." Let me know if there's anything else I can do!

Welcome to AW. Such a trying time for you and your family but staying in touch with people with the same challenges as you does help as does writing down how you feel.
The options for wigs are there and it may be you need to consider a petite size. Seek professional wig suppliers or surf the net. It may give you a needed lift to feel secure and happy under a wig. I lost my hair aged 17 and wore a wig for 15 years. i have stopped now but still have the choice. i treat them as accessories and if the outfit suits. You stay positive regardless. take care
