Question à tous et toutes ? je dois refaire mes papiers d'identités dois-je faire une photo avec ou sans ma perruque ?

Lately it seems the hardest part of the day is getting out of bed – not because I don’t want to get up, but because bed is safe. Getting out of bed means a couple of things – 1. It means that I will inevitably look at the pillow and space around my head to see if I have shed any hairs, and 2. It means I will need to get in the shower and go through the more-often-than-not painful process of seeing what falls out post-shower.



I used to be more concerned about the hairs in the bed…

Hello everyone I'm 19 and i got diagnosed with alopecia about 5 months ago. I've lost about 50% of my hair now.

As it was i was already uncomfortable around people with a full head of hair, i went to therapy for social anxiety about a year ago, the hair loss has not made that much easier.

But lately, I've decided i need to stop feeling sorry for myself. If tears could bring back my hair i would have had a full head of hair a long time ago and then enough to make a wig for everyone…

yessss!! FUZZZ!!!

Haven't been able to see a dermatologist, cause he KEEPS CANCELLING ON ME! UGH!

If you are ever in Newfoundland, do not EVER go to Dermatologist Dr.Tomi, he apparently has a history of cancelling on his patients ALL the time! Other clinics and doctors actually GUESSED his name when I said my doc keeps cancelling! pathetic! Maybe he has a legit reason but still frustrating for his patients...

I am trying to see another one...so hard to book an…

A year ago I was diagnosed with alopecia. All at once I lost all of my hair.

Since then, I have had one more episode, and lost the hair around my temples. I have single handedly brought back the "flock of seagulls" doo.

I've learned that it is frustrating not to know when or why I will suddenly loose my hair, but also learned about inner strength and beauty versus outward appearance.

Thanks everyone for sharing your stories and experiences.

Hi everyone, i'm Catia, i'm 24 years old and i'm from Portugal... first of all it's really nice and confortable to realise that there are many people with this problem and it really help us to understand what we are felling about ourselfs... I'm still not completely acepting that i'm losing my hair and that i can be bald... 2 months ago i found one big spot without hair on my head, i was surprised but not very worried to be honest. I went to see my family doctor, she told me with was a…

I live in Arizona and pencil my eyebrows in. Has anyone found a product that actually lasts and does not melt off. I wear bangs so that I can hide my eyebrows as much as possible. I am noticing that it is making the front of my hair oily. Any suggestions on that also.

My Ken Doll episodes were very cool, and my taking care of our bodies section was very important as well, so i kind of went offline for a year or so when I moved to Calgary, but i think the AlopeciaBoy site should go back up, and I should put all the pages back up!

Hi I'm Natalie

I am 25yo old and I have Alopecia Universalis for many years I've had to hide my alopecia, for the reason that not many people are aware of the condition, so I would like to raise awareness about the condition and raise some funds for the Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation AAAF.

I will be participating in the Stadium Stomp without my wig, which i wear every day.

I've registered to participate in Stadium Stomp, Australia's longest consecutive stair climb to…

Hi I am Judy

About four and a half years ago my hair suddenly went flat and started falling out, my long dark eyelashes dropped off, my eyebrows disappeared and after four months I was totally bald. Every bit of hair over my whole body disappeared. I had been to Doctors and a Specialist and they said this is Alopecia Universalis (total body hair loss).

The plus side of this is that it saved me a fortune in leg waxing and hairdressers.

And just for another kicker, I was…

So a friend suggested I see her dermatologist located in Santa Monica. Dr. Greene* was a pretty woman with dark, shoulder-length hair and a somber tone about her. Or maybe there was just something somber about telling someone they had alopecia areata?

Yes, Dr. Greene was the person who told me I had alopecia areata. I had never heard of alopecia in my life. But I quickly learned that it was an autoimmune disease that effected 2% of the entire world population.

Dr. Greene asked…

I just wanted to share my recent appearance on the news on KMIR6 in Palm Springs. I hope my LOVE U formula is helpful! It definitely helped me and my coaching clients.

After going from having small bald patches that would grow back over a few months, to losing 98% of my hair and half an eyebrow—the journey has been far from easy. I look back now, and cringe over how I would stress out when I discovered tiny little patches that were covered by the thick head of hair I once had.

How I would whinge because my hair was too thick, boring and normal when I was younger, along with other image issues.

How I would kid with my best friend whether he'd…

In the past few weeks, I've really changed. Changed in the sense that I'm not allowing myself to hide that I have alopecia anymore. I'm no longer considering it a 'secret'. I shouldn't be ashamed of it, because alopecia is apart of me, and I will not be ashamed of myself. It was difficult to talk about it before to my family, and even worse when I talked about it to my best friend. I would always end up crying. But recently, I told more of my friends, without a single tear, and they…

It sickens me how so many people assume that if you are bald, you automatically have cancer or you are going through chemotherapy.. I'm sure many more people have this same problem like I do. "don't judge a book by it's cover."

I have AU and think I'd be happier/ more comfortable bald during the labor/ delivery. But I don't want all my pictures with me bald... I was thinking some type of head covering- but something not too obviously (bald underneath) for the posterity of my photos! Any suggestions? I think I will bring my wig to wear home from the hospital. But I do want to get some pics shortly after the birth and want to look ok.

Thanks,
Lisa

Reading the struggles and the number of years you have dealt with it was inspiring n heart felt in each case. After, watching the news last night of the Oklahoma tornado and 2 schools including an entire city gone, made me see life is sooooo much more than hair!! How dare i think this could be the worse of all things especially wen i have my baby at my side n her health~I guess its because i was afraid of the unknown. Society has us believing one thing in the fashion world and is it really?…
