I was diagnosed with Alopecia last year around October. I am 21 and it was very hard for me in the beginning but now I am starting to accept that God let this happen for a reason. Though I may not know why, I have to trust that this is my purpose in life for right now. I just hope that I can be used to draw others to Him through my hair disease. I do wear wigs. I have fun with them! I used to have very thick, dark, and long Italian hair. Naturally it was hard to go from all that thick hair to wigs that sometimes are nothing like your hair but I've come to realize that I am beautiful with or without my "old" hair. Recently I met a lady in my church that has the exact same thing. Alopecia. We went to a wig store together and what a blessing it was to go out and try wigs on with her. I found myself not caring if people saw me with or without my wig. But for me, I like to wear them. That's just me. It's not for everyone, I know that. Blessings those that have the courage and confidence to wear nothing. Maybe someday I'll get there but for now I will enjoy wearing them as long as I can. :) I hope I can be an encouragement to other young ladies or older ladies going through the same thing. So thankful to be able to join this group also! ;)
