there is no reason to cry or be upset. hair is not a big deal! its "just" hair! if thats the attitude you portray, thats the attitude she'll follow.
i'm sure you are supportive of your daughter and want to protect her from anyone who will make her feel uncomfortable, but you have to understand that sheltering her and wanting to home school her will not solve any issues either. instead, tell her how amazing she is. tell her she hasn't changed as a person. also, tell her that "god created a few perfect people on this earth... the rest he covered with hair." ...that should make her smile if she is down.
Thank you for the kind words. I know how your daughter feels as I myself dealt with Alopecia as a teenager. Just know that it will get better and she will be much stronger for it. Each lesson we learn tells something new.
I got my hair from www.freedomhair.com
It was about $3600
thanks for the comment. I have a few different wigs that I love. two of them i got from a place called godiva's secret, and the one i actually wear right now is just from a beauty supply store. also, some of the pictures on my page are when i had hair, so the ones that look really really really real...probably are. haha! i actually just ordered my first vaccum wig, and i don't know if you have hear anything about them, but they are great! expensive, but worth it. maybe when your daughter gets a little older you might want to look into one.
how is your daughter coping with all of this? i know it can be so hard but especially as a teenager, its so important that she realizes how beautiful she is and that hair does not in any way make who you are as a person. if she ever needs anyone to talk to, i am here because if have gone through the worst of times, and still trying to work myself back up. there are so many resources and people, and great things that can help in her road to self acceptance if she hasn't reached it yet. =)
I do still have my brows and lashes, but think i am (semi) ready to handle it if they come out, which they may. like i said, there are so many great things out there, and if i need to wear fake ones for a while, i will.
welcome to alopecia world (sorry i wrote you an essay), and i know you will find great information and great people here who are so helpful!
it's actually my daughter paige that has alopecia areata. she's 5 and just started kindergarten. she's pretty ok with what is going on--i guess that's normal for most 5 yr olds. this is the 2nd time she's losing her hair. she wears a baseball cap to school, ballet, soccer and everything else! she wants to swim this winter, but i just don't know how to handle that one. we're currently treating her with olux-e, rogaine, and will start something called targetin next week. how is your daughter doing?
please let me know if you have any more questions.
