I have had total alopecia for 6 or so years now. But before 2 children kicked it a few times. After the birth of my last child within 2 years I lost everything including eyebrows, lashes etc.
Hi Cheryl Ann, 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.
Thanks for your comments! Yes, I have had this condition for many years!
I don't wear vacuum wigs -- my head sweats a lot so I'm sure they would make my scalp very wet in the heat.
Thank you for saying that! I wear both synthetic and human hair. I get the synthetics at a discount, online at www.wigsalon.com. My favorites are the Rene of Paris monofilament tops. I like the style "Brandi" but have to cut it a little. The human hair wigs are custom made through a shop here in Portland. I wear the synthetics more than the human hair. In this photo I am wearing synthetic.
Thank you for your comment about my remarks to the Today show discussion - I felt kind of bad for saying anything critical, but I thought it needed to be said.
