I have had alopecia totalis for about 3 years. It has really affected my self esteem and confidence. When i first got alopecia I started to change for the worse. Everybody started to pity me and my friends turned their backs on me. I have now accepted the fact that this is something that I dont have any control over. I pray every night that God will restore my beautiful hair back to me one day.i have spent so much money trying to find something that will grow my hair back. I have succeeded many times only to get disappointed when it falls out again. I havent told my boyfriend about my condition because im afraid that he will leave me.
Do you have alopecia? (Choose appropriately)
Alopecia totalis

Hi Lisa, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us and we look forward to your input. Cheryl, co-founder
Hi Lisa,
I know how hard it can be. I have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better. Check it out on my page -- and WELCOME!
