Today I attended a church meeting and one of the other members asked me to share about my alopecia. I told her I would so I told them about how our Heavenly Father can help us through our trials. After I finished one of the other girls commented on how bright and happy I always am so I encourage all of you to do the same. we can be kind and happy to those around us.

Well, after 9 years I am losing my eyebrows and eyelashes. It is so heartbreaking. I don't know if I'll be able to handle it mentally
What should I do? Tattoo eyebrows on? Pray for a miracle? I don't know.
I need some support.

Hi my name is Jessica Hoschouer and I am currently twelve years old and getting ready to go to seventh grade. I will be going to Jr. High and am really scared to what people will think about me having AA. What should I do? i have a few wonderfull friends and realatives who will be at the same school but they wont always be there and I might get made fun of and teased. Have any of you guys gone through this before? What did you do?

I have really woried about things like this since…

I have been ordering my extremely expensive European processessed human hair wigs from the same salon for a couple of years due to my extensive alopecia areata that has left me virtually completely bald. During this time I have had problems with shedding due, ostensibly, to the fact that I chose a very light blonde color. When I ordered my last $2500 system I was forced to sign a contract stating that I could not return the system if there were any problems relating to the "color". I was…

Hey, so my hair has fallen out twice, first time just a little bit, I could hide it, second time it was a lot I shaved my head. now im growing it out its about 3 inches long.. and well im either being paranoid or its falling out again... if I run my fingers through the bottom back of my head, or the sides, I get hair, but none on the top and top back... so I was wondering how it happen with other people.. its a lot that comes out... anyones opinions on if its paranoia or if its happening…

Yesterday I got a confirmed diagnosis of Alopecia Areata and my first treatment of steroid injections in my scalp. I discovered the bald patch on the back of my head, January 31st. I ran my figers through my hair and felt bare scalp, so I went to the bathroom to check it out and I had a patch the size of a 50 cent piece. I checked my pillow, the shower and every where I could think to look and found a few hairs, but nothing out of the ordinary..I don't know how I could have lost that much…

My hairline and scalp are thinning by the day - it's like the last month turned this corner from it not being seen to - There it is! I've had a long history of eating disorders and have been pretty much healed (even though it's sort of something that always sits within you), learned to love myself and to write and to give to others. This has me blown sideways inside of my vulnerable Self. I realize that every blog I've posted, everything about love and care has been put to the test. Prove…

My hair has got alot worse lately , bigger patches
Do I shave all off ?? Don't know what to do , might look better than big patches.
Any advice ? X

Been awhile since I blogged, mainly as I have not really had any issues with Alopecia which I guess is a good thing. I can't actually believe in fact time has gone so fast. That is was Oct that I put on the blog about testing vitamins which I am not sure made any difference at all... But I did give up on them after one batch. I think taking a pill every day is just not my thing. I do still have a packet mind, which I pop one every so often when I think to myself it won't do me any harm for a…

Is feeling relieved/frightened to be actually accepting of losing my hair; an odd mixture - like everything I've preached about health, wellness and loving Self decided to take a test ride with a very much thinning crown. So thankful to have found this site.

You always hear : dont judge a person til you walked a mile in their shoes. This has become so apparent this past week, with my friends and family. You really cant blame or judge another for the choices they have made in life. We each have our own issues, adversities and ghosts in the closets. We each have made the best decisions with the resources we had at the time with the knowledge in which we had it. How can you sit in your glass house and judge them for those choices. I personally grew…

Hi im Casey and Im 13 years old with Alopecia;) Dont worry...we can fight it together!!!

I wake up every day to light kisses on my cheeks, my sleepy eyes, my lips, the tip of my nose, my forehead, and lastly, my bald head. Lately I have been waking to heaven. The sight of my Superman smiling at me when I open my eyes is simply amazing. This seems to have been my husband’s morning routine lately. And I’m not the one to complain about it. I took it all with open arms. Like I said, it was heaven. This routine actually made me feel loved and accepted (first thing every…

It has been a really long time since I was last on this site but I am in need of some suggestions, ideas or input please...

I have a new baby (girl) and I am wondering how others with children have chosen to tell their kids about their alopecia? I know that I have time (though it goes fast) before she will be able to ask questions, but I am still uncertain about how I'll respond.

I have never hidden my alopecia from my baby, nor have I hidden my wigs. However, when she's old…

I thought I was alone with experiencing the itchy and sensitive skin. I can not wear the synthetic wigs or lace fronts.I can not use any fragrance type scents. If I wear perfumes, which are a little pricey. I believe that the alcoholis high in content and gives me some type of reaction. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm also looking to find the full lace fronts that are made with virgin hair and has not been treated

Hey guys! I hope all is well with you guys. As you may have noticed my life got a bit crazy and busy. I haven't been on here in over a year so here is a little bit about what's been going on in my life. My divorce is almost final so that makes me happy and sad all at the same time. Marrying some one to me ment spending the rest of my life with them but when the person I was with couldn't handle my disease and abused me because he wanted me to feel like a piece of trash, took me a long time…

Anybody here have success with hair up by schmuel gonen?

One of the joys of having Alopecia Areata and opting for the bald path is the need to shave every few days. I decided I will not learn to shave my own head, and have my husband do it to me instead. This way he’d have some participation in the delights of my Alopecia, because I’m nice like that. I have also decided to refer to him as “Superman” on this blog, because he is my superman (and this is my lame attempt at flattering him). So, every couple of days I would be niggling Superman into…

Still looking for a perfect hat for my wedding. Any ideas where to go to? I have tried google, etsy, everything.
