March 2012

I am now head shaved and getting permanent make-up. I have also noticed I now lack arm and leg hair - so there are a few perks to alopecia universalis i guess

I decided that if I was going to get brave and try to go wigless and scarfless then vacation in the Caribbean was a good place to try it out. I still wore my wig to dinner every night…

So here is the rest of my story

The last picture in Part 1 of this story was October 2011. I had MUCH thinner hair but people still didn't really notice unless I moved my upper layers of hair showed them my bald patches. I still had all of my facial hair. As a woman I never thought I would be happy about that! Haha - now that I have none I would be so happy just to get back there!

November 2011 - this is the month I decided to look into a wig until I got it I decided I better…

I am not a regular blogger. In fact, I have never blogged about anything. When I started losing my hair I looked to other people's stories for comfort, guidance and to help prepare me for what was still yet to come. I wanted to see real pictures - not text book pics. I write this so maybe someone like me can get the information I was looking for. Some of the pictures will not be pretty but I always try to remember it could be so much worse.

May 2008 - "pre" alopecia…
