Hi. I have alopecia areata. My hair has been falling out in patches for the last 8 or 9 years. For the first 6 years, I could hide the patches by styling my hair a certain way. In the past 2 years or so, I have had to cover my head with hats and have even gone so far as to buy wigs, 3/4 falls, extensions, etc. I am looking forward to hearing about other's experiences in dealing with hair loss and hopefully providing support for those who need a friendly ear :)
Hello and welcome, Yuko!
I know how hard it can be. I have had alopecia for about 30 years and have gone through all the stages that you are experiencing. 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!
