The cat-with-mange look isn't a good one, but clean-shaven or hatted can be exotic and hot. Look at the photos page here on AW, and see which new look you'd like to try.

Hi Michael.  Losing your hair is NoT your failure.  Alopecia in its many forms is such an unpredictable disease.  Its a disease where one day you have hair...then one day you don't have hair....and then it grows back.  The truth of it is you don't really know what helps or not.  I am sorry to hear that you have experienced cruelness from others.  Take it one day at a time.  Stick with this site as there are a lot of supportive people willing to help.

I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I can tell you that it was really liberating for my daughter (and me) once we shave her head. I didn't think I was going to be able to do, but it was such a relief. The spots are horrible to deal with. We spent a year trying to hide them and we were totally stressed. We shaved her head on Jan 1, 2013 and she still hasn't a single hair on her head and has lost eyelashes and eyebrows. But I can honestly say my stress levels are way down from this time last year with the spots. Things do get better. You are experiencing a loss right now. Give yourself some time and you'll get back on track and will probably be stronger because of what you have been through. I agree with looking at the pictures. There are some beautiful people on here.
