I have had alopecia since i was 8,at one time i was trying to become a wig model. I wanted to become a wig model to motivate young women with alopecia.But lately I have been thinking about going to school for cosmotology. I want to be able to give people the support or help that I needed. Especially, when i was trying to find a way to make me feel complete. I'm currently in school taking up pre-med praying to become a dermatologist. Me growing up with alopecia has made me want to help people with alopecia. Mainly children, kids can be sooo mean if they dont know why this little girl is wearing a wig or why this little boy has no eyebrows. With me accepting the fact I have alopecia, my life has been great. Every body has at least one person they remember that either educated them about this or helped them with the resource. Thats what i want, to be the person that people will remember.
Hi Beauty, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder
Thanks for the kind comment! I'm always so happy to meet fellow Chicagoans! Glad to see ya in the group. I'm sad that I'm moving for a while to go back to school now that the Chicago group is growing. But I'll be back someday and hope to one day be able to get together with everyone!
Hi Beauty, thanks for the friend request and I love your confidence and willingness to help others. No one educated me on Alopecia when I was a little girl, my family just loved me and it gave me the confidence to be who I am now. I feel just as comfortable in a wig as I do when I have a freshly shaved head. You have wonderful goals, I'll be here routing for you!
Hi Tiffany! How are you girl? I didn"t get ur text message. My phone hasn't been working lately.. I need to get a new one. Did you get the full cap lace wig? How is it? Is it that one in your pic above with you wearing the pink shirt? How's your mom and daughter? Tell them I said hello too. Yes, give me a call when your in Naperville so we can get together.
Just came by to check on you. I see u are wearing that wig. Those are the days I love. The confidence is all over your face. Go girl. It is about to be time for me to get me a lace front. I have been making my own wigs for the last 8 years but since I am getting married decided to spend some money for someone else just this once.LOL.. So what is a good place to get an inexpensive lace front from?
Thank you. I live in MD. Well I am going to continue to do it but the place says most insurances pay for full cranial prothesesis so I may be able to get it done for free. I am sure I have to pay for the hair do itself but if I can get the hair for free that would be GREAT. I understand about school between Grad school and my daughter life is crazy. I just have a laid back job.. but dont tell them.
It has been a long time. How are you? I'm doing well. I met a few others with AU that live in my area we've gotten together a couple times now. We're supposed to have a get together @ least once a month. Would you be interested in joining us the next time we have another get together?
