About Me:: Well it all began just before my 30th birthday and after the birth of my daughter, now six, I noticed a bald patch at the back of my head when doing my hair. Little did i realise within the next 3 months I would lose 70% of my hair. Friends and family did everything to boost my confidance, but, all i did was cry. After unsuccessful attempts at wearing wigs which itched, was too hot etc i resolved to wearing hats. Mmmm not a very good idea I have to say. Then I was silly enough to travel to London to have a 'volumiser' created on my head. However, that was short lived and a lot of money down the drain. Eventually I returned to a shop in glasgow and after several attempts at different wigs I chose the one I really suited. My confidence increase and off I went to uni to study primary teaching. After two years my hair grew back but here I am yet again, hair is practically gone and I'm devastated, so much so I can't look in the mirror, make excuses not to go out with friends, have put on weight and suffer with depression. Today I came across this blog so heres hoping people out there will help me through this.
