Maile's treatment

My daughter Maile will be 3 this August and has had alopecia for the last year. She doesn't have much hair left and was wondering if anyone has tried the Divine Herbal Hair Oil??? I just ordered it and am very hopeful! Any feedback?? Will keep you all posted on her outcome.

Another UPDATE on Devin; 2 months later

His little head is covered with hair with the exception of the orginal bald spot he had. That area is still covered with the fine white baby hair. Other than that, he's been doing great.

Keep your head and always have hope=)

Change brings new/return anxiety

Hi Family:

I thought I would blog to get help with the anxiety. I do have a small amount of hair at the top in which I add false hair and wear it to the right (dominant side). I have been wearing that style along with the bald look out in the public for 1 year. I have truly gotten use to the double looks and stares. I have developed a level 1 anxiety for going into familiar places and a level 3 for new places. I decided last night to switch the false hair from the right to the left.…

Ok I'm at work and I haven't been wearing my wigs

This ignorant jerk that comes in to get his haircut just asked on of the girls I work with why I shaved my head and she said I didnt and he said oh what does she have cancer and she responded no she has alopecia and it just fell out and he said sounds like cancer to me. When he left she told us what he had said and the other girls I work with almost got as pissed as I did like if I did have cancer that would be really rude and since I don't makes it even more rude what the hell is wrong with… Continue

Alopecia areata and going natural

In an effort to be authentically me, I began a process of going natural with my hair about five years ago. This means that I no longer get my relaxed. Initially it was great because my alopecia was in remission (if that's a correct term). Now that my alopecia areata has reared its ugly head again, going natural isn't as carefree. Alot of the hairstyles make me self conscious or don't turn out right because I am missing a significant amount of hair in certain areas. I have dabbled in wigs,…

Finally AT again :D

We get a lot of blogs here with people overjoyed about regrowth, or upset because of more hair loss, so this might seem a little backwards. Bear with me.

I've had alopecia pretty much forever, but I've been growing random patches for the last five years or so. Of course this made me happy at first, but after a year without full growth and having to shave to keep wearing my wig, it was just an annoyance. I've become slightly jealous of people with totally smooth heads.

Not…

Re-growth after sunburn/sun exposure

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed re-growth after sun exposure or sun burn?

I am bald so my scalp tends to get a lot of sun exposure and burnt from time to time. When it does get burned I notice more re-growth although the hair is lacking pigment it does grow back. The re-growth does not last long though.

When I first noticed this I increased my vitamin D intake but it had no impact on the re-growth.

I have noticed during this hole fight with…

Alopecia and silicone breast implants

Hello,

I read several posts about Alopecia related to Breast Implants and I think that my story is relevant on this subject:

When I was 29 I decided to get silicone breast implants and everything went very well with the operation and esthetic results. However, one week after the operation, I noticed a bald patch on the side of my head. I had always had long and nice hair until then and never once experienced alopecia before. I asked the surgeon who performed the operation if it…

New to this site and new to alopecia

As luck would have it my mother owns a beauty supply that specializes in wigs and hairgoods in Orlando, FL. Ever since I can remember I have been around hair salons, beauty supplies and hair goods.

I have seen many cases of hair loss among men and women. So when I saw a bald spot in the back of my scalp 2 weeks ago, I knew exactly what it was. I was bewildered to the why I had alopecia areata suddenly, since I am in my 50's and have no family history of it. However as far as my immune…

Finding my way around /through this

I just figured out where I could type more than (whatever the number of characters allowed) on my profile page.

I'm thinking...finding my way around this site is not unlike finding my way around this hair/no hair thing. It can be intimidating, frustrating, yet illuminating and freeing.

So, now that I've figured it out...on with the rest of my day.

Thank you and blessings to everyone who is sharing this journey.

My nails

My body is starting to go through changes once again where I am beginning to loose the hair again...like my eyelashes. Not worried about my legs, that will just save me more time in not having to shave...lol But what is bothering me more is how my nails are becoming severely affected to the point where it hurts because they are sore. I have noticed the change in my nails within the past two weeks where the nail bed has become weak and my nails are breaking at the meat. I was reading on one…
