About Me:
my parents said that i got my first bald spot when i was five. and soon after, i had two more. they stayed there for a few months, then filled in. it was years later, when i was about twelve that it started again. but this time all over my body, it was on my arms and face as well. spots were disappearing overnight. and its gotten progressively worse since then. i began to lose sections of my eyebrows and my eyelashes, more of my hair fell out and there was less hair on my arms and legs. now im eighteen. ive gotten to the point where i have no eyelashes, except for four lashes on my right eye. i have no eyebrows, i made the decision to wax them off, because there was barely anything left to them. i just draw them on every day, instead of filling them in. i have no hair on my arms, and i barely ever have to shave my legs. as of now, i have five large bald spots on my head. and its getting to the point where i dont know what the next step is. soon i have to make the decision whether to try to hide it more effectively with my natural hair or whether to shave my head and go for a wig.all while keeping in mind that i have hair almost to my butt and its definitely one of the main aspects about myself.

    Hi Jamie! I'm Jackie! I also have no hair on my arms or legs since forever. But I do have a little bit of eyelashes on my botton right eyelid. It's weird right? I also have a bit of eyebrow but hardly at all. What do you use to fill it in? Anyway, if you want to talk or something, I'm here okie? c:

    Human hair I buy the hair in Asia at street markets and it is so cheap going to Thailand on the 27th and picking up a load. Then we send it to China and they make it up to a custom mould.
