If so, did you celebrate it?  How?

International Alopecia Day was originally started with Mary Marshall on Alopecia World and has grown to a worldwide event!

If you participated feel free to share your photo here, and on Instagram tag @alopeciaworld so that we can connect, view and share it on Instagram.…

I was at Hobby Lobby a couple months ago when a woman came up to me and asked how my chemo treatments were going. I was wearing a ball cap. When I looked at her, I saw that she was wearing a bandana and must have been going through chemo herself.

When I explained that I suffered from Alopecia Universalis, she looked me dead in the eye and said, "Oh, you're one of them," and walked away.

Now, I have been mistaken for having cancer and going through chemo many times, but it has…

What if you do not consider yourself as one of the young, seemingly beautiful with or without hair type.

My mind has been on alopecia and what is the best way for us to live life to the fullest while living with the condition?

I am convinced that this is more an emotional battle than a physical one.

Our struggles seem to have more to do with acceptance, will I find a mate? Will kids at school laugh at me?  How do I tell my new date?  Will my spouse still be attracted to me? 

My thought is, if it was just physical then “slapping on” a new wig would…

I recently came across an article that mentioned a new pill for alopecia.

As I imagined it would be, the Oscar slap heard around the world was news for a few days and then it was on to the next things. But I have been mulling it over for the past few weeks and came up with five life lessons that this situation can teach all of us. …

This is tragic, but I think it is important that we all share this story.  What can we do individually or as a community to help our brothers and sisters?

Things have changed so much for me that most of the time I forget I even have alopecia. But I can assure you it has not always been that way.

I lost my hair 30 years ago. I have now lived my life more without my hair than with it. But at the same time, I clearly remember leaving the dermatologist's office and him telling me that I have alopecia and I…

I'm 71. In a few years I'll be bald half my life. I don't even think about it growing back. Most of my friends decided to stop colouring their hair when Co19 hit. Sometimes I feel I'm missing out on a rite of passage.

Hi,

1. I have Female Androgenic Alopecia.  It has been four years since I was diagnosed with Androgenic Alopecia.  I have tried everything and my hair is still thinning. I had PRP and did laser treatment. I am on minoxidil and I take 250 mg spironolactone everyday.  I had very thick hair so I am able to cover my thinning hair for now.  About two months ago I started to lose 300-350 hairs a day.  There is no end in sight.  My hair is just falling out everywhere.  I was wondering if…

Did you know that we are not only the owner of AlopeciaWorld.com, but we are also photographers?

I met Michelle online and immediately connected with her.  This session started as a boudoir shoot and ended as a self-journey.  It was very touching and real as the photographs reveal a story of entering into self-acceptance.

Hello < Give me one good reason why? When i have already lost every hair on my body which started while in the Military at the age of 57
