Hey try lace wigs for your daughter. Im 25 and boy do i wish i knew about lace wigs when i was younger, maybe school would of been alot easier. But i made it thru my teen years and she can too. And yes people can be very mean but tell her to keep her head up and to thank God because there are worser health problems in the world than alopecia. But lace wigs is the best option, pretty pricey but i believe its worth the investment.
Hi Tina, 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 Tina,
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 and your daughter feel better. Check it out on my page -- and let me know how else I can help.
