About Me:: I am a single parent with two beautiful daughters and a handsome grandson.

As a little girl growing up in Barbados I was teased every day. I went to school with hats and wigs at the very young age of 9. I got injections in my head to re-grow my hair. It worked while I was receiving the injections. After a while I got tired of the injections and refused to go back. Through the years my hair would grow and fall out again. Today, it is worse than it has ever been. My head is totally bald and now I am losing my eyebrows.

This lifelong experience has be truly a roller coaster ride. I went to the specialists and my own doctor. They all told me it was hopeless. So far only people who are really close to me know of my situation. Growing up in the Caribbean I was taught to be ashame of my hair loss.

I am always looking for a cute wig and I have finally come to terms with my alopecia and for first time, am speaking openly about it. Thank you for setting up this website!!!!
