The Movie Grey Gardens/Alopecia

Has anyone seen the movie Grey Garden's starring Drew Barrymore? She portrays a character that deals with alopecia. The movie is quite interesting it is based of a true story of Jackie Kennedy's relatives. I think it is the first movie I've seen that shows a character that has alopecia. It was touching to see it portrayed on screen because Drew really captures what it is like to lose your hair; and how she learns to deal and doesn't lose her spirit. Just wanted to let you guys know, don't know… Continue

Reliability!

Just as you start to get used to your current form of alopecia it changes.



I have had nearly twelve months now with AU. Not a hair anywhere other than the fact that I still have to shave my chin now and then. Even then the hair on my chin is now much finer than it used to be. I’ve had no eyebrows, no eyelashes not anything.



The last couple of weeks though I’ve noticed that I’ve got a few eyelashes come back and the front section of my head has started to have hairs grow… Continue

Getting hairy

So I'm looking at my head in the mirror and for the last few years I have ever so slowly been getting regrowth after years upon years (about 17) of having no hair at all whatsoever. I haven't done anything differently or taken any meds so this is completely occuring on its own. About 10 years ago I stopped wearing wigs most of the time and in the last year when I've seen the most growth is the time I've started becoming more involved in helping others with alopecia. Crazy… Continue

Down in the Dumps, Feeling Alone.

Is this feeling of loss and sadness ever going to go away?



90% of the time I feel completely accepting and fine with having female pattern baldness. In fact, I was beginning to feel pretty damn good about myself and the situation, regardless of the fact that I'll be chopping my hair off shortly and am still losing clumps every night. But then today one of my friends sent me a picture of me three years ago - back when I had my full head of hair and was in all my glory - and an immense… Continue

Sun & Hair

Going on holiday is great but it is always over far too soon!!!!!!!



It only seems like yesterday that I was packing my bags and getting ready for a week in the sun. In a blink of an eye I am back at me desk in the office looking at the everyday problems of business today. It’s a good thing that I enjoy my work!!!!!

Hair Transplant

As some of you may know, I got a hair transplant 2 months ago. I am curious about those who have Alopecia. I came here for support on my hair loss and know you all support male pattern baldness. I know that hair transplants don't work for you all but if it did, would you consider getting one?

Thanks,

Julian White

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

I need help

I'm struggling with Trichotillomania,

I don't mind wearing wigs, i'm used to it... but I'm so tired of having to shave my head.

I'm still a teenager, and people are very cruel about these things, Ripping off my wigs in public... I'm not ashamed that I'm bald, but I often find myself lying about my actual condition out of fear that they will think i'm crazy for pulling my own hair out...



I'm starting to feel that way myself, It's gotten so bad, I had to shave my head again… Continue

In Need of a Confidence Boost (and Advice!)

Hey guys!

Today is one of those tough days when my confidence and acceptance of my hair loss is slipping. I'm not burst-into-tears-so-unhappy miserable or anything, but I'm more like "eh." I'm thinking my head shave will be taking place sooner rather than later. When I comb my hair after my shower I keep losing clumps. There are only so many months I can keep losing clumps before my hair is too thin to be pretty! So I'm a little shaken by that. I'm thinking it'll be an experience that's… Continue

Get a Life!

I've been going contest crazy lately! Looking for a new job in this economy with a bad wig is a tough job and can be rather depressing some days. I've been working part time still but only 15 to 20 hours a week which doesn't exactly give me much cash flow. I've got that Doritos commercial on the go but I don't think it will be winning any prizes anytime soon, unfortunately we no longer live in a world where creative ideas are enough, the technology has to match so this amateur ain't gonna cut… 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

What to do????

My second bout of alopecia is developing in quite an interesting way. I have shaved my head as I did with my first experience of alopecia but this time my eyebrows are thinning and I now have patches on my body. The first time I had alopecia the painful stage of seeing hairs in the shower stopped as soon as I shaved my head. This time I have shaved my head but there are still hairs in the shower that clearly are coming out of my body. My body hair, beard and one set of eyelashes have changed… Continue

How has being bald affected you???????????????

How has being bald affected you? That is if it has affected you. Mind you I do think it must have even if it is only the fact that you notice how cold it is much more now than when you had hair.



Many of the websites for Alopecia document how many people are stressed about having Alopecia and that they desperately worry about their hair growing back. I must admit that when I first had alopecia I was concerned about the situation but once I shaved my head I stopped worrying and found… Continue
