My name is Kim Karacz Caudill and I've had Alopecia since I was 9 years old. For several years, I had Areata only. The spots would come and go, some severe – some minor. When I was 12 years old, Mom and I started to explore options. We got very creative! But eventually, these measures were replaced with my first synthetic wig later that same year. I still remember the name of the piece: “Brandy” (and I think they still sell “her” to this day!) Wearing a hair piece was short lived, however, as most of my hair grew back in within the next year. I continued to have spots, but was able to disguise them pretty well. But by my senior year of college – about 8 years later - I lost it all in a span of about 4 months. Soon thereafter, I lost my eyebrows and eyelashes. Fear, anxiety, confusion and sadness all started to creep in.
My mom and I decided to contact Fuller Hair (Freedom Wigs agent); and along came Debbi Fuller – a wonderful, full of life, head-tattooed woman who rocked my world. And she was bald like me! But she was a lot happier, self-confident, and looked fantastic.
And after 12 years as a client of Freedom Wigs, I am proud to share that I've been an agent for over 10 years now. I help Texas and surrounding states and run my own company, Second Nature Hair. I office out of Round Rock, TX (just outside of Austin) and travel as my clients need me to.
I love what I do and will be a resource to anyone who feels we may be a fit. My goal is to have fellow Alopecians feel as good and as adjusted as I do with my own hair loss. I don't sell; if the piece I wear is right for you, great. If something else works (or nothing at all!) that is fantastic too. I believe the goal is to live life as happy and as best we can.
Round rock! How wonderful, I'm in cedar park! I would love to chat with you sometime over coffee, share if owe have learned. My email is angelvaello@gmail.com

Hi Kim,
May I ask what the density of the piece you're wearing in your current profile pic is? It looks great.
