New hair, new year, new me

Hi. I haven't been on here in the longest. So today was the day I decided to check up on what I have been missing! :) I also thought I would update on my current hairpiece and my life. *takes deep breath* So, two weeks ago, I got my new Locks Of Love hairpiece and I'm in love. I posted the picture of my new hair piece as my thumbnail and in the photo thing. It's really long and the bangs are cut almost the same way as the old one. I was sad to give up my last one because I dyed the bangs a really bright blue, but I had to let it go since I started my sophomore year in high school last week! :) I like my classes and everyone is nice. So far, no one has brought up last years situation where my hairpiece fell off, so that's good. I've been talking more about alopecia to my best friend, and it feels nice to have someone special to talk too. My plans for this year, revolves around being the best I can be. And since alopecia is the biggest part of me, I decided to let go off the troubles it causes me and learn to love it...or at least accept it. lol :) I'm also going to try my hardest to open up more about it with my friends and family. I tend to cry when one of them bring it up. I don't why, it's not like I'm sad, but I think it's all the emotions and memories behind it. Sigh. Anyway, I'm glad I'm writing this, since it's been on my mind for the longest, and I wanted to share it with lovely people that understand<3 thanks for listening! :) -Jackie

Hi Jackie, high school can be the hardest years for anyone let alone having to deal with the added stress of alopecia... i struggled through high school with losing my hair, so totally understand how you feel. Its hard to start talking bout how you feel to friends and family, but the more you talk the easier it gets. I think we sometimes forget that our friends and especially family are also struggling with the fact of us having alopecia, not knowing what to say or do to help us... I still often forget that even tho its us that have or are losing our hair, that the ones that love us have to watch us go through this and not be able to do anything to help!! Thats why its important to talk maybe little by little. It doesnt matter if you cry, scream, laugh or shout!! Take care

Hi Jackie,

I started losing my hair in grade 9 and by mid year Grade 10 I had lost everything and begun wearing a wig. I was very nervous but people were SO accepting. I think if you show confidence in being who you are, others wont make such a big deal about it. Dont be afraid to tell your friends- if they are true friends they love you for who you are and wont care if you wear a wig. It is important to have a good network of people to make you feel good about yourself and that you can talk to if you are feeling down. You will probably be surprised about the secrets they have too
