Then one horrible day my doctor said… Continue

Hi everyone! I'm new to the group here. After years of fighting with thinning hair and hair loss I finally gave in and bought a wig this week.  My mother has Alopecia and I knew at a young age there was a good chance it would happen to me but never expected it this quickly.  My youngest daughter died 13 years ago and that's when I noticed it getting worse. My Dr. confirmed it was Alopecia and that the stress I was under triggered it. I was amazed at how emotional I felt over losing my hair.…

Hello everyone,

I wated to ask if anyone had an experience with their child loosing eyebrow hair too in alopecia?my son has had it since more than a year, will his hair come back,Anybody knows anything that works?

Hi everyone, I haven't written a blog for a while. I have now had my 5th dosage of DCP treatment to hopefully encourage an allergic reaction tricking my immune system and hopefully allowing my hair to return. I just wanted to know if anyone has had this treatment and if so was it successful ?

I'm a 24 YO female and I've had AA for about a year and a half now. I've done the whole routine of shots, creams, different hairstyles, stress relieving activities etc and nothing has seemed to work. There's days I accept it and days that I hate it more than anything.



I think the hardest part is trying to talk to your family/friends about it and getting angry that they keep saying "It's just hair. Everyone around you loves you no matter what. They don't care that you're losing your… Continue

Since buzzing what was left of my hair I haven't had the desire to wear any wigs. It just doesn't feel like me. I have also lost my eyebrows and lashes. The loss of my eyelashes almost feels worse than loosing my scalp hair. However, with makeup I am coping.

Well, what can I say? I hang my head about my shameful, childish behaviour today. What a tantrum I had. Even threw my wig over the balcony into the garden 2 floors below. The reason? I have washed it 3 times in the last week trying to get it not to bunch up in the back. I don't know why it is doing this, it rarely happens. It is a remy hair wig and usually I don't have this problem. I am over it!

Since I lost (and found) my virgin Freedom hair wig I have felt so insecure about myself.…

Hi I am new to this group. I am looking to meet like minded people that can support me, I experienced hair loss, bald patches due to the use of treatments etc and launched the hair heals campaign. Really looking to get a group of people that understand me together and assist in raising awareness here in the UK.

Here is why and how Ella The Enchanted Princess was created. She was created because of what I learned when I was going through the challenges of Breast Cancer. I found out what was really important in life and it was definitely not my hair. After losing my hair to Breast Cancer, I realized that Bald Is Beautiful and that being bald doesn't change who you are! I didn't hide my baldness, because I knew I was the same person with or without hair.



It didn't make a difference to me if… Continue

After wondering about the four people with alopecia over several generations in my family tree, I have been missing the obvious option to trace this: AlopeciaWorld! If anyone can tell me the present and past (1800s and earlier) prevalence if AA, AT, and AU in Wierzchoslawice, Poland (particularly in the Bogusz families), please let me know! I am also about to do the Ancestry.com DNA test...but I hear there is a DNA test with another company that focuses on males. Out of those I know since… Continue

Does anyone have a cosmetic solution for partial (50%) hair loss? I have been using Topik spray for my daughter with progressing AA and it's getting difficult to achieve a natural look. She is not quite ready for a wig. She is 9 years old and I am hoping someone here has dealt with this successfully and can give advice. Thanks

Hi Everyone

I am new to this website and wondered if anyone can help.

I have been suffering with AT for the past 4 years and have been wearing freedom pieces. I sent one of my freedom pieces in over 6 months ago to be repaired and have been informed that mine is in the next batch to be repaired. I have also been told that owing to the extensive damage it may"die during the repair process"!

I only worn the freedom piece for 12 months and yes there was a bald spot…
