About Me:

Hi all,
My hair started coming out shortly after having my son 18 yrs. ago. It has been a very difficult journey for me. Ironically I was a hairdresser and so I knew some of the best tricks to hide the hairloss. I am glad I found this website to know I am not alone and other people can relate. Its very difficult for me to talk about with friends or family even though most of the women on my moms side and a sister suffer with alopecia. We have never talked about it with eachother but we do notice the new wigs and weaves and realize another one has bit the dust. My husband has never made me feel anything other than attractive and I thank God for that. I am not at the point where I am ready to shave but I am longing for the freedom of not having to hide any more. ADDENDUM-( July 6, 2010-It has now been almost 1year since I shaved my head now and I feel free as ever!)

Do you have alopecia?

Female pattern baldness

Are you age 18 or older?

  Thank you. They are my miracle babies. 29 week preemie. When I was told at 19 weeks, they would not make it. God told me he was my Doctor. And now look. I am trying to have the same attitide with this alopecia. But I can seem to get myself together. I think I am so wrapped up in what others will think or say. But I enjoy reading your page. Thanks so much!
