NO WONDER I'M LOSING MY HAIR!

Everyone in my family wants to know what i can POSSIBLY be so stressed about. I'm 21, with a good job, going to school and living at home. I'll agree, right now, my life is pretty low stress, and I'm thankful for it. BUT... I have moments where I'm absolutely ready to tear my non-existant hair out.



My sister is 15. She's a sweet girl, and someone I would do anything for, but we are also polar opposites. We are 6 years apart in age, and completely different people. She's very into her… Continue

I feel so at home...

I just found this website today, and I just wanted to say that I have never felt so at home, it's wonderful!!



I have never met anyone with Alopecia before, I really had no idea there were so many of us. I feel like there was a large chunk missing from my life and now I have found it. I have so many questions, so I thought I would start by asking how do you parents out there with alopecia deal with school functions, I am so afraid that the kids at my daughters school are going to make… Continue

Halle Berry will be bald in her new movie Nappily Ever After!

Ladies and gentlemen it seems Ms. Berry will be shaving her head bald to play a woman who looses her hair and forced to deal with the perceptions of women without hair. I believe this is based off a book that won a few awards. It sounds very interesting and I think it'll be good. What do you all think?

I'm BAAAACK!!!

Okay, so everyone knows by now (if you read my blogs) that I moved back home to Nashville from Memphis just under a month ago. So while I am saving my money to get a nice new tricked out laptop, I am using my mom's computer to get back into the swing of writing regularly to let everyone know what is going on in my life.



First and foremost, I have missed everyone terribly!!! I've had the chance to talk to some of you on the phone, I IM everyone when I can, and I think of you all… Continue

Which presidential candidate should alopecians vote for?

Which of the U.S. presidential candidates, including so-called 3rd-party candidates, do you believe would do the most to improve the lives of alopecians? Of course, your answer to this question will depend on how you view the candidates' proposed health care policies. But perhaps there ought to be some consideration of the candidates' overall economic visions as well.

In any event, do any of the candidates speak to or for you as an alopecian? Based on what you've learned…

Cicatricial Alopecia aka Scarring Alopeica!!

Hair loss is hair loss but I notice that ones with AA or Alopecia Areata had smooth skin where as those with CA or Cicatricial have skin that can look like somone burnt it. Having this form of hair loss was one thing that kept me from shaving it all off because I didn't want the scarring to show. I've had cicatricial alopecia for some years now and I wanted to know of others who has the same type.

The strangest reaction I've experienced...

This may be the strangest thing that's ever happened to me! I was at the store, and I had a bandanna on. A woman that I recognized, but couldn't place, came up to me and said, "why did you shave your head?". I steeled myself and offered the same, polite response that I didn't shave my head, that I have alopecia, which makes my hair follicles "go on strike".



She proceeded to tell me that I couldn't have alopecia. That alopecia would make me lose my eyebrows and eyelashes and not just… Continue
