About Me:
I am the mother of a fabulous 2 year old daughter who has had issues with her hair since she was 11 months old. I also have a 4 year old daughter with tons of hair! I have shed many, many tears over this situation because I don't want my baby to have to experience anything that is hurtful. We are trying some treatments that our dr recommends, but in the end as long as she's happy and healthy, we will all be fine :)

    Kdeff,
    My ,little one is 6 1/2 now...he started losing his hair just before age 2 and is now completely bald with not a hair on his body. He is happy, healthy, cute as can be and loving life. I know he will be fine but I can't possibly stop worrying...you know how it is:-)

    I'm glad to see you are close by in Lebanon--we are in Nashville. I don't know if there is such a thing but I'd love to have an alopecia play group sometime. My little Luke has never met another child with alopecia and I know he would enjoy it.

    Maybe we can meet up sometime! Good to know you are so close!

    Hey. Thanks for your response. I am actually from Franklin, TN. My parents and my brother still live around Nashville. I have actually used HPI a lot, however the previous owner sold it to someone else. I used to love HPI but I am not as impressed with the new ownership. I felt pressured into buying something I didn't like. They really wanted me to buy a wig because they mentioned that prices on hair would be going up. I might end up going back with them but I really want to look into other options since wigs are extremely expensive. I had some great dermatologists growing up in the Nashville area. I used Dr. Michael Smith who is associated with Vanderbilt and Dr. Binhlam in Brentwood, TN. They both always gave me options on trying to treat my alopecia, however I lost most of my hair and eyebrows when I started college.
