I wrote a blog maybe not that long ago about my hair which had grown back few months earlier had started to fall out again. I am going on holiday on friday and have lots of patches but my hair is still falling out which is a pain and i dont want to be leaving hair in the pool ect. It looks like i have to shave it off but its a awful feeling that i have to do this again as its definatly back to square one!

I got my wig couple of weeks back and wore it once and hated it, I hate having to…

So the last blog I posted I told you all about how I was recently diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. I tried the Saline Solution and it did not work, I then tried the 7 steroid shots into my head. Unfortunately it did not work for me. In fact it has only gotten worse. I still encourage others to try the shots. They were not that painful to me but I still say if you have not tried them yet defiantly do try. I was recently told to try tea tree oil. Have any of you tried it and had success? I also…

Well I went shopping with my daughter the other day and all was well until....wait for it....a teenager laughed at me when I passed. I tried to ignore it and brush it off. Deep down inside it hurts and still does. So, since then I have been wearing a wig or covering up. Today, I put on my scarf and my daughter said why are you wearing that? Of course I came up with some lame excuse, but she lovingly said, you look better wearing nothing.

Just wanted to share with everyone, I'm still a…

my boyfriend just said its a shame that your lip hair doesnt fall out cause i was saying i needed my lip waxed why is that the hair i want is gone and the hair i dont want is hanging on

I wish I could look into the future and see if I will lose all my hair. I really want to know. Should I prepare for the bald me? Will it ever happen? Will I remain the same with the thin hair I have had for about five years? Will I get enoigh regrowth were possible to sustain my natural hair and style?

With all the steriod shots, my scalp is in rough shape with ridges and dents. Why can't I be the cool girl that has always worn funky wigs and therefore wouldn't seem out of the ordinary…

I can't see me ever go bald yet i don't know society has me bound right now...

After shaving what little was left of my hair off 4 months ago I have had some regrowth, some of it is growing back in really nicely but it is quite patchy and looks awful. For this summer I am in a marching band and there is no way that I will be able to wear a wig, we have cowboy hats but often during warm ups and rehearsals we do not wear these leaving me with nothing to wear on my head during these moments, in it's patchy awfulness I can't bear the thought of going without a wig or a…

Hi. This is my first post. I do have a tumblr, but I hope that this will be more personal because this is for people with alopecia. I wear a wig to school and when I go out, even though my friends are completely understanding of alopecia. I really don't mind though. It'll be awesome if any one can give me advice or message me.

Stay Strong,
Jax

I stand up straight and proud

I feel elegant and unique

I'm cool when other people are hot

I rock my large collection of earrings

I sometimes wear jewels or decorations on my head

I feel special

I feel ME

If you haven't tried going OUT in public bald and would like to, an opportunity is coming up soon. 2012's International Alopecia Day is Saturday, August 4! Join the…

I just wanted to share something that is working for me to get some of my hair back.

I've started taking chinese herbal medicine called Ban Tu Wan for about one month now. I could see a dramatic change in my head. After loosing 3/4 of my hair last September, I tried several things which supposedly worked. Trying this medicine was just one thing that I thought I would give a try without expecting any positive result. Now after taking one month, lots of my hair are coming back and I…

I have been putting off wearing my wig for weeks now holding on to what hair i have left but just cant hide the patches anymore :( gutted I'm back to wearing wigs again and only just wore it today and was having the same feelings i had last time, paranoid people know, the wind blowing it about mad so thinking people can see the cap, have no proper hairline so it looks like a wig, thats just some of ther anxiety i suffer while wearing it. Questions people ask, where do u get ur hair done,…

So I was watching 20/20 and they were doing stories of people with rare disorders. OH to my surprise, they did a piece on Alopecia. I realize losing hair is nothing compared to eating rocks for a living but I figured, they would do some justice to the topic to educate people of this very serious condition. So they highlight this one woman who used to be a hair model. She had alopecia and lost a good portion of her hair. I have to be honest ladies and gentlemen, she got on my last nerves!…

Well my life is very lovely now!

I had my first exams and they went very well!

Also my hair starts to grow a little bit.

Last month I met this boy and he's kinda cute, it doesnt care him that i'm having alopecia !! So thats very nice!

I'm in a play, and im the Red Riding Hood !



Im sorry for my bad English ..

I have been learning to cope with the daily shedding, seeing 1/2 of my head patchy bald, wearing a wig. I cycle between decent days and depression, with tears drying much quicker now that it's been nearly a year since my first patch appeared. But today, I feel ANGRY because I feel LIMITED.

I cannot just tuck my wig hair into a pony tail when the office is warm, or behind my ear. I find my sunglasses bump into my wig making neither sit right. I HATE wearing a scarf during my workouts…

It is really easy for people to say, "It's only your hair" and it's easy for them to laugh about my situation. But it isn't easy for me. This is an entire life adjustment. Not once, could I ever have imagined that one small spot would completely change my life and become three large patches. If I thought I had worries before, well I obviously didn’t think things could get worse. It’s only now that I am beginning to appreciate my silly little life worries more now. Throw them at me; just give…

It's been 2 months since Devin was diagnosed with having alopecia areata. I'm happy to say that his hair has started growing back but it is growing back white. I'm excited as well as anxious to see what the next few months and years will bring. My family has been so supportive and definitely gave me the strength to be a strong mom for Devin. I'm content with what he has and I'm okay either way. He's still too young to fully understand what is going on but every now and then he'll ask if he's…

Some one told me mixing monistat 7 with olive oil, coconut oil, or castor oil will promote hairgrowth. I googled this and came across an ehow article about this. Has anyone heard of this mixture or have they tried it? For more info search on ehow.com and read the story.

I have had alopecia since I was tweleve years old. I am now 28 and it is a normal part of my life. It is a bit frustrating because it comes in the form of patches all over.I have alopecia areata. Right now I have 9 patches. I have some rather large ones on the sides and the vertex area (learned that terminology from the derm). I can cover it, but I am very self conscious of it when I go out in public becasue one false move will expose my patches and then I have to either come up with a…
