I heard this on some home and garden TV show today, but I feel like it really applies to all of us here who are dealing with some form of alopecia....especially if at one point you had hair and unexpectedly lost it.

"Let go of your old self image so you can start loving yourself as you are today."

This quote really stuck with me. One of the hardest things about having female pattern baldness for me has been remembering how thick and blonde my hair used to be and…

I need to ask you guys a question. I've been looking online to find some answers and there'S not a single website which says anything about my problem.

I had my eyebrows done about a year and a half ago. Now it looks alot lighter than in the beginning. That's actually ok because I thought it was abit too dark at first. Now it'S lighter and it looks like it's a little purple or red / reddish. Do you guys have the same problems? I definitely need to get them done again but I…

Well, I have been dealing with my hair issues for over 10 years and every time I think that I am coming to terms with it, I just go right back down. I was about to give up and go get a wig and broke down with my doctor this week. She said she isn't going to give up on me.

I'm sure I would have at her age. then she turns around to her mum, "That girls got no hair". okay, a little annoying now. once…

Hard to believe that it's been so long since I've posted anything here. Hope everyone here is doing well. My own journey over the past 8 months has taken me to many places…some new, some not so new, some I’d rather forget and be done with. My alopecia continues, primarily in the background as I continue to adapt, yet occasionally offers…

I have had Alopecia Areata for about 20 years. The first time it fell out I lost most of my hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows. Then some grew back, but not all of it. A few years later a friend who was a nurse told me to try P.U.V.A. which I did and to my surprise all of my hair grew back 100%!!! Of course as you all know there is no cure and when I stopped the…
