Profile Information:

About Me:
I have alopecia since age 13. It began as areata and developed to universalis three years ago. It was hard, but I was lucky because I have my family and close friends who help me a lot.

In certain situations, having alopecia affects me (especially in Brazil, where people usually mocks those who wear wigs), but then I think that it is not a serious problem and others' opinions should be irrelevant.

Is cliche, but the important thing is who I am.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia universalis
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older

    Yes, I have full lace and highly recommend it. But I don't wear it every day, because they are expensive and need to be styled frequently which is also costly. I wear synthetic when I travel or work out at the gym because synthetic is wash and wear. The best one I've found is Rene of Paris "Brandi." You can get it on www.wigsalon.com at a discount.

    I have no lashes and I wear false ones when I am going to a party or out on a date. Otherwise it's too much of a hassle. In my book (If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!) I give really detailed instructions on how to put on eyelashes, the best glue, and also how to put on makeup so it looks like you're wearing eyelashes.

    Hugs!

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to this site. What in the world is it like to wear a wig?
    I am so anxious at the thought of it as I live a very active lifestyle going to the
    gym everyday and traveling 4-5 days per week. ugh! Please advise,
    thanks, Reyne (honor08@verizon.net)
