Wigs and Toppers

Living with Alopecia for over 15 years now I can read my patterns to some degree. I know my hairloss this time is going to be extremely bad, probably the worst its ever been. But, I don't know if I'm going to lose all my hair. I've read that areata can lead to totalis or universalis, so there is always that fear in my head. Is this it? Will it all fall out this time? Currently, nobody can tell that I have bald spots yet.

Since my hairloss is progressing at a really fast rate and the spots… Continue

Happy Easter

Hey guys, long time no see. I hope everyone's had a good day. I just had an Easter egg hunt. As for my progress with Alopecia, I've been off the hormone meds and hair is still growing back thick and long. Inside I still feel insecure now and then, and paranoid that I'll lose it all over again. I guess the first battle's the toughest. But keep on being strong everyone. You may have Alopecia, but Alopecia doesn't have you. Be strong, because you're all beautiful!

Help request for 16 year old girl

It's been a while since I reached out for advice here but recent events have brought me back. My daughter will be 16 next month & is struggling with her alopecia. She is depressed, feels alone & is close to being hospitalized for treatment. She has been in therapy for at least two years, but has not come to the point where she can accept her condition & eventually take control of her life again.

I finally did it - I shaved my head!

Last night I caught sight of myself in the mirror with my real hair pulled back in a pony tail with my many bald spots showing through. And I thought, that's it - it's time, I look hideous. I discussed it with my hubby who played devil's advocate and stressed to me that there was no turning back once I did it so to make sure I was sure. As he put it, I can still throw on a hat and go to the store (with my real hair) or around the house.....but you can't hide bald!



So we started off… Continue

Wigs and lashes

Hey everyone,



I was wondering if someone could give me some information on false lashes. My eyelashes are starting to fall out and i wanted to know which false lashes are the best. Ideally I am looking for some that are able to stay on for a few days at a time, maybe longer. I'm not even sure if these exist? I am also wondering what wigs would be best if I wanted to wear my hair in a ponytail or something. I have monofilament wigs that I love but I can only wear them in a low… Continue

DCP treatment and me

Just want to share with you and those considering it, I found the information about the treatment is somehow limited to its action. So I want to share with you about the journey I have during the last 8 months...well, I'm still on it.

I found this treatment last year, and the concept or the theory behind is quite understandable. Before I heard of the treatment, I usually find some tiny hairs grow around inflammed area. That the concept of DCP is actually induce a continuous inflammatory… Continue

Itch, itch, scratch, scratch, scratch...arrgghhh

I'm 'shedding' again, or so it seems as my eyebrows, lashes, and the hair on my chest are slowly disappearing. One forearm is also joining in...well, part of one anyway. The arm looks bizarre not that having a partial an eyebrow is normal. The worst part is the itching which always seems to accompany the fall out...followed by the scratching, then even more itching and feined attempts to not scratch. Now I know how it feels to be a dog with fleas.



I suppose that I was in denial up… Continue
