A note about the hair follicle & Malaysian democratic process...

Hi everyone,



I've updated my blog recently with two blogs of the Alopecia areata series. Namely, "should a Alopecia areata patient strengthen their immune system" since we have established that Alopecia areata is of autoimmune origin? Followed by "a note about the hair… Continue

Just Me!!

The thing that I like most about this site is that it provides a lot of support and answers to those who don't know. I used to have so many unanswered questions when I was in school. I used to wonder why me? Out of all these kids at school--why ME!! I remember things like how hot it was to wear a wig in the summer. The constant thought of "I hope nobody snatches my wig off." It really stopped me from participating in things like field trips because i didnt know what the kids would do once i got… Continue

Positive images of women with hairloss in fashion.

I have never posted a blog before!!! The other day I got sent a catalogue from People Tree (this is a UK company which sells fairly traded and environmentally friendly clothes). I noticed some T-Shirts with prints on them of women with headscarves by a Japanese illustrator called Nao. There is no mention in the catalogue of why these designs have been chosen (and whether it has anything to do with alopecia or chemo) but I think they are lovely and a positive image of women with scarves, rather… Continue

Hello..



I am new to this site. Just trying to find my way around.



It is weird and yet refreshing to know that I am NOT the only out there who looks like me.



I refuse to accept the fact that my hair is gone for good. I think if I did, I'd die.



Women are known for their hair.. a woman under the age of 70 is not supposed to be bald. A friend told me today that it is very common for women to go bald. Yea, I replied if there is a type of immune disorder or… Continue

Should i get a freedom wig?

Hi, im 14 years old and I have lost about half of my hair so far. Its still falling out in some areas, but i have some regrowth. Its not alot, but there is some. Every morning i put my hair up is a clip with some bobby pins and hairspray to hide my large bald area, but I hate being so concious about my hair all the time. I cant run without revealing it during gym. I just wanted some opinions if i should get a freedom wig or if i should just wait and see if the spot that is regrowing gets… Continue

white hair question----

I lost almost all of my hair between last September and this January. I tried the cortizone shots for 4 months, but it would just fall out other places, so I quit in December. Now I have little "white baby" hairs on my head. I am serious when I say it looks like baby hair, it has little curls, and swirls, and sticks straight up. Have any of you had experience with this? Does it usually just fall out, or does it get darker? I have been wearing a wig for a couple months so at least it is… Continue

Stability is a wonderful thing!!!!!!

It’s funny now that I’ve become accustomed to being AU I find it very strange if I see a hair anywhere on my body. A weeks or so ago I spotted two hairs growing on my head. They were not near to each other and they fell out quite quickly. Only this morning I happened to see a hair growing on my leg. It was very weird, a solitary little hair all alone on my leg. At one time it would have been surrounded by lots of other hairs but now it was all alone. I touched the hair and it fell out. I’m not… Continue

A Grandmother's Wig

I work with elementary students several times a week. Today, with the sweetest sincerity, a child told me that her grandmother has several wigs I can borrow. I told her that I preferred to not wear wigs. She asked why and I said they're itchy. She laughed and her loving smile was priceless.



Some days I do wonder why I don't wear wigs. I have no regrets for deciding not to cover the hair loss. It's just a continual process of embracing who I am. Today, I deeply value the sweetness of… Continue

drawing myself bald

I couldn't sleep well last night so got out my sketch book, set up my mirror, and started drawing a portrait of myself bald. At 59 let me say that with a bald head all I could see was wrinkles and sagging muscles without the benefit of hair to cover over these defects. It has given me all the proof I need NOT to bare my head in public! Am I too sensitive/vain? I don't know, but I can say that although I'm okay with being bald when I know I can wear a wig to cover up, I am pretty sure I'm not… Continue

Breaking the Silence

Rachel has been very secretive about her condition. She has not wanted anyone to know that she has alopecia other than her family, and she has never wanted to talk about it. She has been very happy with her wig that is attached with medical grade adhesive. I think it has allowed her to just forget that she is bald and allowed her to feel like everyone else.



Then, she started losing her brows and lashes. The kids at school started asking questions which she fielded without telling… Continue
