Good for you!!!!  I am sorry that you felt you had to 'explain' yourself.  It does take a lot of courage to go 'naked'. I go bald for the most part.   I do remember going bald for the first time last summer....lots of stares in the grocery store.  I barely notice the stares at this point.

Again, good for you:)

Good for you!!! Experiences like yours are very uplifting and I love sharing them with my 13 year old daughter with Alopecia.

Good for you!!!!!  I wish I could do that.  I am a hairstylist and I work for a big hair and cosmetics company and I feel uncomfortable even talking about my situation.  It seems they mostly ignore it.  At times I wish I could find another line of work where it would not matter as much!!!!!  I have no problem with family and friends though, which is good!!!!!!  I am glad for you that you are strong to be able to walk proudly at work!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I think this forum is a great place for people to share. I feel comfortable at work now which is great. Haven't been to the grocery store or the mall without my hat, it's winter right now so i'm just leaving my coat and hat on. It'll come, little by little.
