Sorry not been about for a while to be honest sometimes it hurts to come on here strange I know - Im just wierd take no notice! I do have regroth at this moment in time but am not holding my breath as you guys say once had how long will it last before it goes again.
All I know is "hair or no hair" I will never feel the same again.
Hi Jackie,
I've had this for 30 years -- but finally have some great wigs that look fab, like my own hair! Go to my page and you can see my hair in 1964 (black and white pic); the rest of the photos are me in wigs.
Let me know if I can help.

Hi Jackie!!! I also know the feeling of hating to wear wigs. I have lived with alopecia for the past 25 years and have worn wigs since I was 6 years old. My hair has grown back and fallen out several times over my life, and I have recently made the decision to keep my hair shaved permanently. I keep scarves of all colors and kinds on hand and baseball caps for those days (especially now that spring and summer is here) when I don't want to deal with sunburn. I'm glad you're here!!!
Hi Jackie, I know the feeling of hating to wear wigs. I did it for many years. I have had alopecia for 17 years and have lost and grown back a few times. I keep it buzzed short or shaved now, that way I don't have to think about it anymore. Wether it grows back or not right now... my hair cut won't look much different ;)
