About Me:
I am 23 years old and getting my masters in social work. I have had alopecia for about 9 months which has gone for areata to almost totalis. I still have like 10% of my hair left and have not talked myself into shaving it off yet. I have regrowth in some places and then it falls out again. I am getting some regrowth now but who knows if it will last. It has been a very emotional journey and I still have my moments when I wish for my hair back. I got married on August 22nd to the most amazing and supportive man. He has been my rock and should to cry on and I don't know what I would do without him.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older

    No, I haven't shaved my head yet, but I cannot wait! I'm going to order a full lace wig in the next few days and then go in to a Peggy Knight representative for the shave, lace wig, and then a molding for my vacuum wig. I'm just excited to start fresh and not have to worry about hiding my impossible spots anymore and start living normal again! You are beautiful and I'm sure that you will make the choice that is best for you, hair or no hair. But keep me updated either way- we can hopefully help each other out! I'm really glad that I found this site and am able to talk to people who are going through the same thing as me :)
    Cheers,

    What type of wig do you wear? Is it comfortable?

    Hi, I'm pretty new here. I saw you are from new orleans. I'm from shreveport. I was also wondering if that is your real hair in the pic.? If it is a wig it looks good. Where did you get it? I don't have a clue where to get one at. There are so many places online. Thankyou, Erin!!
