Seasonal alopecia?

Hi friends! I have a totally random thought. Has anyone noticed any connection with hair loss and seasons? I have a few patches right now and noticed that this is the 3rd fall in a row that this has happened. It seems that I only lose hair in the fall. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I crazy? :)

I love you just the way you are!

Finally, I was sitting at home and my daughter said, “Mommy you don’t have to come to my school with a hat on or a scarf. I love you just the way you are.” WHAT?!?! I said okay, had a long day and I knew she would NEVER EVER want me to be bald around her school. The next morning I get on the bus and train bald.

Conventional beauty standards be damned!

Sometimes I feel like shaving my head just out of spite!



Yeah, I have cicatricial alopecia that has left some interesting "spaces" in my TWA, so I guess I have a good enough "reason" to shave, but I don't really need to yet.



What really gets me going is the experiences that ladies here are sharing. What gives anyone the right to denigrate a person for something they have ABSOLUTELY no control over? The hurt that has been experienced over this is maddening to… Continue
