I Just Can't Bare It (Unless I Choose To, That Is ;-)

For the past year or so I have not worn a wig. Instead I have mainly chosen to wear head scarves in public . . . and in the past I have also gone completely bald. Over the years I have gone through a continuous inner struggle with this issue, whether to just go bald, where a wig or a head-covering . . . and I wonder how many others face this same issue and/or feel similarly about it. Sometimes I enjoy wearing a wig, playing with different looks can be fun and there are times . . . especially… Continue

Glad To Be Here

Hi, My name's JOSH.



I just want to start by saying this website truly is wonderful. I don't know why I never joined Alopeciaworld.com before. It's like Facebook or Myspace for bald people! (only I think this is a little cooler) I've been a member for less than 24 hours and many of you (whom I have never met) have welcomed me, and I can't tell you how much that means. The close-knit community that alopeciaworld seems to promote is very cool and once again I'd like to state how much…

When To Tell A Man...

Hi y'all!



So here's my decision: I'm shaving my remaining hair off at the end of the summer and ordering a vacuum wig. And I'm actually really excited! YAY!



Here's the thing. When should I tell a guy that I'm wearing a wig and my head is shaved? Do I do it before we get into a relationship? On the first date? When I sense things are going somewhere between us? I'm currently flirting and kinda dating this one guy who I met relatively recently. He doesn't know about my hair… Continue

What's up?

Well I just held another support meeting and it went well. It was a small turnout but that was okay because someone new to the group needed some in-depth attention and all the right people were there for him - coincidentally. I'm going to go ahead with plans for an afternoon in the park on National Bald Out day which I will add to the events (soon I hope). Other than National Bald Out day (Now International…

Wigs wigs wigs...

Gosh, sometimes I get so sick of wigs, I live in a really small town, it's pretty obvious I wear a wig.

It's even worse when the "children" here think its funny to pull it off in public *twitch*.



I'm sixteen, I know it sounds immature but I really dislike people who make fun.

Tease, pull and jerk off my wig, call me baldy etc.

And decent wigs are so expensive...



I looked into a vacuum wig that wouldn't come off when someone pulled it.

4100$,

Wig Wearing Women - Stand Tall!!

I feel so compelled to write this message to all of you bald women who choose to wear wigs. I don't mean to be controversial or engage in debate because aren't we all one family, one community of support? We are ALL in the same boat. First, to you ladies who go bald in public, I appreciate and thank you for being true to what you think is right for you. Because isn't that REALLY what it's about - To Thine Own Self Be True.



But that said, shouldn't we all be accepting each other for… Continue

A Good Day at the Barn with only a bandana!

Its funny to me that I used to go to school only wearing a baseball cap and play soccer with only a bandana on and that I later felt completely uncomfortable wearing just those things. Maybe it was all those teenage hormones that made me feel like I had to wear a wig 24/7, but thankfully I just don't care anymore!



On Sunday I went to the barn where I keep my horse, and generally I use my "barn hair" that is generally the oldest wig that I own that I wouldn't use for school anymore,… Continue

Alopecia grrrrs

Although I have bad hair days, my bad hair days consist of me wishing people were more accepting and tolerant rather than wishing my hair would grow back. As some of you may be aware of, I am looking for another job at the time and everyday that I go into my current job I hate it more and more. Everyday the balony grows and discrimination becomes more and more evident. I didn't get the sales job I was meant to have - everything I've done in my past, careerwise, has led me to that job. Their… Continue

A day of many firsts

I held another support group meeting on the first day of spring, March 20th. It was nice to see some old faces and even some new ones. Although we were a little tight on space, it didn't seem to matter too much as everyone seemed quite comfortable with each other. All of my youngest members came, one who's head looks just like mine and is the biggest sweetheart, one who's hair has actually come back in and refuses to let his mom cut it and our junior role model who's video we watched of her… Continue

Weaning work into accepting alopecia

I've been working at the same place for over 7 months now. For those of you who don't know, I endured wearing a wig during the interview process and for the first probationary three months. After three months I ditched the wig and at my managers suggestion that the "customers" would feel more comfortable with seeing something on my head, I donned a scarf or bandana. Since I've worn the scarf I noticed that people seemed to be more concerned that I was ill. I've been asked if I had cancer and… Continue

Well I’ve done it!!!!!!!

Well I’ve done it!!!!!!!



Having experienced the loss of lots of my body hair I was feeling very much the same as I did when my head hair was falling out. As such, I was tempted to use the same course of action that I had used when the hair on my head was coming out – to remove what was let so that I no longer had to see it falling out.



Well yesterday after about 60% of my body hair had gone (I was really hairy) I went to see a friend of mine who has a business removing… Continue

Life After (or WITH) Alopecia? (Please respond!)

Hi everyone!

I'm handling my female pattern baldness a lot better than I used to handle it. I believe once again that I'm worthy of love and fun. But every now and so often I catch myself thinking "I better enjoy this while I can. If I am ever bald, I won't have this." This is mostly true of dates and relationships with guys. I know my girl friends are there for me and with me no matter what. They think wigs are cool, so this would only be an "exciting" condition to them. Guys, on the… Continue

My Saturday

Saturday morning and I am off to London to see the Rugby, England v Italy in the Six Nations competition. I am taking clients, one of which is an Italian so it should be a fun day out.



I have chosen to go on the train as the weather has been so bad in places yet as I sit on the train as a paying guest of Virgin Rail the view out the window is of a glorious winter wonderland. The sun is shining and the snow looks so inviting. The reality though is that it has been such a problem to so… Continue

Foul straggy strands, BE GONE!

I don't know what happened to cause this but I think I'm having an epiphany of sorts. I'm fed up with looking like Homer Simpson on top, and only a few pitiful strands underneath. Why I didn't reach this point sooner I don't know, but I think coming back to this forum has convinced me that I can admit the truth - my hair won't grow back - and that this is perfectly OK. For whatever reason, I was MEANT to be bald, and so I'm finally going to accept it and buzz the rest off. I'm not yet brave… Continue

Round Two - One Month In

Well it is now just over a month ago that I shaved my head for my second bout of Alopecia. How time flies!!!!!!



What I have noticed this time around is that my patches are much less visible as it seems that my hair falling out was much more a case of thinning rather than just large patches. There are a couple of large patches but in the main the bulk of the hair that fell out was very definitely a thinning of my hair whereas the first time I shaved my head there was a lot of big… Continue

I Love Being Bald!

Okay, so it's only day 3 and I'm still floating on the pink cloud of empowerment. But I had fun in the shower today shaving my stubble instead of bemoaning the loss of hair. (I bought a Headshave and am slowly getting the hang of it.) Last night I went to my writer's group meeting and "flipped my wig" for them. I've sent pictures to lots of my family and closest friends and have gotten a really positive response. I love the feel of cool air on my head. I love my new wig but I love being without… Continue
