I know exactly what you're going through (or almost, I'm not a woman so it might be a bit diffrent). But I had the same problem.. At first one small patch started falling out and then more followed. It really broke me down and I always had to cover it up with a cap or something like that. Nobody knew I had bald spots on my head. I got soo frustrated and didn't knew what to do. Then I went to a dermatologist and prescripted DPCP, a fluid that makes your hair grow back in most cases. That worked! I was so happy that I had all my hair back!
But then another patch appeared and started expanding rapidly. Eventually it had gotten so big that I was really fed up with it so I decided I wanted a wig, as hard as I found it. When I got the wig on my head I felt such a big big relief. After a few weeks I didn't want to see the rest of my hair fall off so I decided to shave everything off. And now I'm really happy with my decisions and a lot of my hair is growing back too!

I'm not saying that this will happen to you too, I hope that your hair will grow back at this moment if you know what I mean, but if you're as unlucky as me you will break 'the wall' and accept it. It's the best you can do. Just keep hanging in there! And if people know why you've got bald spots on your head they will understand it and will never make fun of you or something like that. Never happened to me.

You can do it!

I pray your hair grows back..but if it doesn't...you are a very pretty girl and I think you have the beauty to pull off bald very well..
( I am an artist) And draw people all the time..you most definately have the face for it!! Don't ever think you don't!!

I agree with all of the above on you being beautiful, BUT who wants to go bald. I would rather validate your feelings than say something to cover them up. I don't care how pretty or how great our faces looks - ITS HAIR LOSS and nothing can replace it! No, not even wigs. I have to wear a wig (in my 4mth+) 3rd yr in a row my hair sheds and then comes back. This time its very slow to come in and the part that really sucks is I have no idea, nor do any doctors, IF or when it will come back. I'm sick of it too and sorry if I sound so un grateful for having a non-threatening life disease or other disabilities but to me this is a tragedy and people need to know that its just as bad.
