I've had Lupus (SLE) for about 20 years now and I've had hair loss before. I've never worried about it because I've always thought that my hair would grow back and it did. For my 40th year (8 years ago) I wanted to do something that would mark the beginning of my 40s so I started growing locks. It has been a long journey and just as my hair was starting to look as I would like it, in comes Alopecia Areata!

No problem, I thought. My hair will grow back it always does but this isn't like before. My hair is falling out lock by lock and I can't cover it up with the hair that's left over anymore. I was starting to get worried and started looking around for 'a cure', then I found this site. Everyone in the pictures looks fantastic! I hate the idea of wearing wigs but I was a bit worried about how I would look with no hair. Having seen the pictures on this site I am feeling a lot better about it. If I wear my look with pride and am as confident as the people in those pictures I know I'll look great.
