- About Me:
- I am 23 years old and getting my masters in social work. I have had alopecia for about 9 months which has gone for areata to almost totalis. I still have like 10% of my hair left and have not talked myself into shaving it off yet. I have regrowth in some places and then it falls out again. I am getting some regrowth now but who knows if it will last. It has been a very emotional journey and I still have my moments when I wish for my hair back. I got married on August 22nd to the most amazing and supportive man. He has been my rock and should to cry on and I don't know what I would do without him.

You are beautiful. Hang in there. I have AA and my son has AU. He and I got it at the same time. But within 4 months he lost all of his and I'm dealing with patches that grow back then start somewhere else. I'm hoping to continue the same way with a patch growing back before another one occurs. I use something called xfusion which is sold only at some salons. Your hairdresser can order it for you. It's a powder you sprinkle on the patches. Its great stuff. Check it on the website for more info. I tried to order it from the website and found they only sell to salons. When are you getting married? Take care...
Sorry about your recent diagnosis! I remember when my came back my senior year in high school, I thought my world was about to end! But I promise either way, you'll get through it, and even though hair pieces will never replace your real hair, there are some out there that aren't half bad! I'll pray that your hair stays, and the hair you've lost grows back! Try not to stress over it, I feel that's the BEST medicine! Next time I go in, which should be within the next two weeks, I'll ask the name of my hair piece. I've been going to the same guy for 6 years, since my alopecia came back, and I don't really ask any have to ask questions anymore, because we've seemed to work through all the kinks. But I'll be sure to find out for you. My hair piece is on a skin like base, though. So the part looks pretty natural. It's adhesived to my head. I never take it off. Which works for me, because I'm just not to that point where I can be without a hair piece. It's so secure, I never have to worry that it'll come off, which I like! Also, I get a new piece each month. This way I'm able to get thinner pieces, which I think helps with the realness look, too. I take a shower with it on, blow dry, straighten, etc. I'm always self conscious, of course, but people always tell me they'd never know...Let me know if you have any other questions about anything. This site is great for those things. I wish I had this when I started losing my hair! Take care! -Brittney
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. You can find out more on my page -- and let me know if there's anything else I can do!
