- About Me:
- I have had Alopecia Universalis since 2003. Mostly I am fine about it, but just occasionally, somebody stares or says something and it gets to me, but then I expect we are all like that.
I am single again after a long marriage. Being single has changed my outlook on life, I feel for the first time in years I am myself, but miss being in a relationship.
I know nobody who has alopecia, but suspect there are people in my area who are, but always wear a hair piece. My wig used to go on when the weather got chilly, and went back in the box asap ! but now I very rarely wear a wig. I felt that I was wearing the wig for other people and their feelings, and not for me, so now people see I’m bald and they are the ones who have to deal with it. I also feel at this moment in time, that my alopecia has a lot to answer for, but that changes depending on how my life is lol !
Its just nice to chat to people on the net, who understands and have the same feelings.

Hi Gill I read your discussion regarding head tattoos. I don't have one myself, and I can understand you being wwary. However I would say that if you decide that's what you want then go for it. Just make sure you pick the right design.
Take care

Trying to arrange a meet up in the exeter area or dorset. Where exactly to do live. I'm in Woodbury, between Exeter and Exmouth. Thinking of meeting up with Jude from Dorset one evening. Would be great if you could join us too. My mobile number is 07734102776. Feel free to give me a bell! Maybe we won't feel alone with alopecia for much longer.

I love wearing my wigs - I have 3 and I used different ones for different occasions! I have a short light brown bob for work, very easy to look after and it looks smart. I then have an old long blonde one which I have had for about a year and I wear that on the weekend for doing stuff like heading to the pub for drinks or going out for a walk etc. I then have a brand new long blonde one which I wear to go out for dinner and to 'events'. I love it the most, it is so lush!!
When I am on holiday though I just wear scarves all day and then if I am going out to a nice restaurant I will wear my old blonde one. I find that square scarves are the best as you can then tight them quite tight and tuck the middle bit in. It is quite tricky to get them to stay on while you tie them though, especially when your head is cover in sun tan cream! Give them a go though as I think they look really nice and are great protection from the sun.
I'm bridesmaid at my sisters wedding soon, so I am looking forward to doing something fancy with my blonde hair - a few clips with diamantes and pearls!
Hope you are all good and not finding the hair too uncomfortable - you look great!

If you don't want to say on here no problem, just mail me info@heidiworman.co.uk have a good look around the site it is very good and friendly xx Heidi xx
If I was you I would give it a go cos they are actually really comfy and keep your head warm without having to wear your hair. I wear my hair quite a lot, always to work, as I love my wigs, but when I am doing the shopping on the weekend or just chilling out then I love my scarves! Works out well as I don't get fed up of wearing either and I always like my head to be nice and cozy!
