New to the forum and looking for any advice!

Hi everyone, 

I found out three months ago that I have female pattern hair loss. My hair had been disintegrating for over a year but I didn't know what was causing it. I'm in my mid twenties and have a brother a year younger who's losing his hair too. I knew my dad went bald at a young age, but never in a million years would have guessed I could inherit the hair loss as a girl. 

My dermatologist has me taking 200mg spironolactone and using the 5% minoxidil foam. I'm still…

My "Cure" for Alopecia...Real Talk

I have been battling alopecia areata since 2013. Through trial and error of many products and treatments I have finally found something that works and the results are unreal! That bad patch was the size of a dime in 9/2014 and grew to tennis ball size by 1/2015. Check out my page to see the before photos! These results were through the help of my dermatologist and a company with advanced holistic treatments that specializes in alopecia.

Cosmetic Tattooing?

I think I have mentioned that I haven't had eyebrows in a while. 10 years to be precise. It hasn't bothered much except for some weird looks every now and then, not very often. But when I want to go out and I do my make up, I feel unfinished. The bald spots, thin hair doesn't bother me as much. That I've been dealing with since I was 3 and so I can handle it and look with sheer confidence. But my face looks unfinished to me. I was wondering if there is anybody in the Calgary/Bow Valley Alberta… Continue

Once again

It Has been about 3 months to the date that I last signed in and stated, I saw some small loss and missing eyelashes. Today, I went to the dermatologist for a follow up,. I decided to take a break from the treatments. There has been no regrowth, no eye layers remain on my right eye, and I have a small pony tail out the top of my head. I can let it down and still wear a wide headband/wrap, which is a plus. However, I'm really pretty freaking sick of it. This is the third time I have gone thru… Continue

Have you hear about Rio Hair? It happened in the USA back in the early 90's...

My first encounter with Alopecia was back in 1993 when I was dying my hair and perming my hair like crazy. And I got a brillant idea to try this crap I saw on a late night info-mercial about a hair care product call “Rio Hair”, it was suppose to be an all natural product to relax curly hair. Yeah well, silly me bought into that “infomercial” and purchased a kit. I put this “all natural stuff from Brazil” in my hair and guess what happened...



The spots started a few days later and I… Continue
