I feel your pain Sheena and i too miss my long thick hair. Its scary to think of how school would have been with kids slagging us off, but to be honest adults arent any better! I use to have people stare at me and id be wondering what they were thinking, its sad and the most difficult thing to deal with and ive been through alot in my life but believe this is the worst to cope with. x

I can tell u it's no fun when u lose your hair as a child, I was nine when mine started to come out, I was teased to the point were I didn't want to go to school I wanted to die, some how I got threw it and as an adult it's just as hard, people ask why I wear wigs what happened that I don't have hair, i have very low self esteam bec of it.

I feel for children with alopecia that have to go to school because other kids can be so cruel. I did not experience my hair loss until I was 19. There are days that I miss my hair.

I very much miss mine, too! Complete strangers used to complement me on it, and I actually had one ask me what shampoo I used because my hair was so beautifully shiny. Now I just want to hide my head. I constantly think how awful it would have been to have hair loss at a young age and live in constant fear for my young son's head of hair. :-(

I miss mine too. It wasn't all that beautiful, but I did have this unique white streak of hair that everyone called my "beauty mark". I miss that.
