    Hey Lorraine,
    I'm new to alopecia as of january this past year and I'm heading towards becomming universalis. Very few eyebrows and eyelashes are hanging on. You are stunning. I really hope this site helps you. I know it has been a huge help for me during this time. All the best.

    alopecia is very hard. I just had it for 4 months, and I already forgot how i look like with hair. everytime i see girls with pretty hair, is a stab to my heart because i used to once look like them. anyways, i hope you are doing great and we are all here to support you. i think you very such a pretty face, and i am sure u are sexy even without hair

    HOW IS THE LOVELY COUPLE IN THESE PICZ?
    You know what...your boyfriend is right...he means what he says....as he's your strength and knows what's good for you.
    Cause from what I can see, he has your best interest at heart.
    You have looks and why not take some baby steps, by first trying to take a picture of your head without a wig..then put it up here....we are all the same on this site.
    You may find it Liberating and that's a beginning to acceptance of self!
    It's just so hard to see you where I was in 1982 before I decided to go without my scarf.
    If I can say anything in my ex's defence...that's the thing he helped me with, to..accept my hair loss.To go out in public!
