Unhappy

I feel like I shouldn't be here. But I don't have any other people to talk to well I have friends but I don't feel that I can talk to them because they have the one thing I want more then anything in the world and wouldn't understand the way I feel about my appearance as they don't have the same problem as I do. I haven't been told I have alopica or any form of Hairloss because I haven't been to the doctors. I don't want to go because if I do have anything like that then that's me 'Natasha…

Why why why

I know im not the one that has the alopecia, as its my little girl, but through out the whole process here in new zealand it seems like not one doctor can give you any real answer to what is causing it, its all just really guessing .of course there's all the steroid creams and things from overseas but its seems from what you read its a below 10% success rate.early on i made a connection between my daughter's asthma problems an medications she was on and alopecia ,but was shot down very heavily… Continue

Rob Ryan denied head coaching jobs because of his hair?

In January 2014, Foxsports.com reported:

"If you got it, flaunt it. But not when it comes to long hair for NFL coaches, apparently.

"According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will have to cut his long locks before being considered for a head coaching gig in the NFL.

"After 'mistakenly'…

Alien

I'm awake at silly o'clock again and while awake I ended up taking a couple of selfies of my wigless face.

I'm never brave enough to face the world wigless, well brave maybe not the right word, I don't think people are weak to choose to wear a wig I'm just personally like to blend in rather than stand out.

But anyhow it was something about the bad lighting that made me like these photos almost making the hair loss artistic.

But I was still convinced my hair loss makes me…

Past pessimist, future optimist

Okay, so most of you are familiar with my "alopecia story". The whole having AU since I was a youngster, getting my first Locks of Love hairpiece when I was in 4th grade, and now I'm trying to deal with alopecia in a positive way to keep myself from drowning in those terrible emotions that comes with having this disease. But I've never really spoken about my past experiences with cruel little children, and the typical harshness of having alopecia at such a young age. It was quite an…

Breaking through the fear: my story

How I "broke through" the fear of going out bald: I just got angry about it, basically. I have freckles, and kept comparing hiding my bare scalp because others didn't like looking at it to hiding my face because others did not like my freckles. It just felt wrong for me to bend to others' will that way, to stifle my own happiness and FREEDOM for others' ...psychological comfort? I decided that they would just have to be uncomfortable - they would also have to get over it. Besides, their…

Hair dreams

I type this while tired. But it's about a dream I just had. I'm typing so I don't forget it :)

I've been experiencing some light regrowth. I know from past experience not to get too excited about this. I've had patches of growth (strange how this starts as patches of loss then becomes patches of growth) before which fell out as fast as come.

But this bit seems to be holding out. I'm finding of late I keep having dreams about it. Like last night I dreamt I had one patch of long…

My first wig

Well, I had one when I was 4, but my first one in adulthood. I got one tonight for under $100; so it definitely LOOKS like a wig, but financially it's what I could do so it is what it is. I'm scared I made a rash decision in getting because I went into it with the mindset that I don't WANT a wig, but I HAVE to have one.

It's platinum blonde. I am blonde, but this is like Marilyn Monroe status. I've been second guessing myself all night, but I am slowly starting to pump myself up about…

My 11 year old Grandson has AA

Good afternoon everyone.

Have any of you used Calosol products or had any contact with Elias Bouras?

Declan (aged 11) is becoming very self-conscious about his hair & eyebrow loss and we are trying our best to help him.

Thank you

Just wanted to re-introduce myself :)

Hi!

I'm Lyndsey and I'm 23 and from the UK. I'm a university student (about to graduate soon), studying History, Philosophy and Politics and have a place to do an MA in International Relations and Diplomacy next academic year. I'm about to get married to my boyfriend of 6 years and I have alopecia areata. I am just having my fourth bout of it now and shaved my head yesterday. 

My alopecia first started at age 15. I found a small bald patch on my head and I lost a lot of hair…

What happened to the chat that this site had?

I would be truly sickened if this website closed down their chat client. It was the one way people interacted with each other. I would like a answer fast. I could be wrong they could of moved it but i remember it being at the top of the page.

Alopecia and happiness

I feel like alopecia has always stood in the way of my happiness. Which is silly considering there are people in the world dying-- still living their life-- and are far more positive than I.

I lost all my hair when I was 4. I vaguely remember it. All I remember is my wig falling off once during recess, and a circle of teachers and students formed a circle around me. I'll never forget that. For years after that-- classmates would randomly bring it up, and I would play dumb.

My…
