Hey there, I just read on a post that you are living in Lake Louise, I am jealous. I lived up there and worked at the ski hill for 2 years. How are you enjoying it? Where are you working?
Hi Karina, My regrowth has all gone and the largest patch feels really smooth. I hate not knowing what is going to happen, learning to accept it more and more (well some days....) How long will you be living overseas for, do you think you will end back in Aus?
I actually caught up and met Vesna this weekend, it was SO wonderful to actually meet someone else with alopecia, she really did inspire me :)
I want to shave my head and get a wig, but I think Im still hoping that I will be one of the lucky ones that their hair will grow back and that i will never have to worry about it again, I know that I just dont want to totally realise that it is MORE than likey.
Oh well, what do you do!
Take care

Hi Karina, thanks for your message. How is it over there?
My patches I thought were gorwing back seem prickly one day and smooth the next, so I dont know what is going on there. I'm getting a little freaked out again as my hair loss seems to of accelerated and is now very thin.
My boyfriend is great, although i cant help but think he is a litte in denial as to how much hair i may actually loose.
I have only told a couple of people at work and not sure what to do there, deciding wether to tell more.
Your hair looks great. Where from Melbourne were you from? im out in the eastern suburbs.
Have a good day :)
Thanks for the compliment! This response is super late! I actually got this wig through locks of love six years ago but didnt have the courage to wear it until now. My sisters {who had the same color hair as me} cut their hair twice so that i could have my original color! Hope all is well!
Hi Karina...Thanks for your feedback. Luckily for me I have a high tolerance for pain..but i do know that even those with the highest tolerance to pain cant take some things...so i will definitely keep what you said in mind....
Hey.... well I have since shaved my head and have been playing soccer bald. I can honestly say I love having my head shaved! it was the most liberating experience. Right now I'm wearing synthetic wigs and they are really appealing to me. For starters, my showers are SUPER fast. I also don't have to spend lots of time on styling the hair and buying expensive products. I think as of right now, I'm going to wear synthetic wigs until I get tired of them. I love how low maintenance they are... almost a positive of having alopecia.
Thanks for the comment! Your freedom wig looks beautiful. I can't wait until I get mine. That's also cool you're living in Lake Louise... it's such a beautiful place. I was there last summer for the first time and I was amazed. Hope you're enjoying it there!
Thanks heaps for your response to my questions :) If I think of any more - I'll let you know. But sounds like a pretty positive review. I've heard alot of good things about them I have to admit.
I'm looking at getting a Freedom wig soon - but still trying to make the decision. I've spent so much of my life just going without hair (since I was about 9 months old - so 5 is really what I remember from) - and just recently though - I want to change to my look. Anyway - I have a synthetic wig - which I really like hte look of, but I'm always so concerned about it coming off at the wrong moment. So - a Freedom wig seems just the right choice.
I'd really like to hear about your experiences... I've heard they quite hot (but you adjust) - are they comfortable? Is there anything you think people should know before they purchase?
If you can find the time to respond to me, that would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards!
-Dominique
PS. I love your hair colour - my synthetic is red and I love red heads :c)
Glad you're all set for the trip! I know, 18" is long, and it does tangle but I'm used to it. I've had long hair since forever! I really like to style my wigs in different ways. I like to put it up, or curl it. I just like the way longer hair looks. I am so excited to get my new wig. I know that I will probably love it! So how are you adjusting to yours so far? Where are you traveling to?(lucky)

I like your attitude:
'I am not going to let a lack of hair stop me from doing what I want to do!'
That's what I aspire to! Seems ridiculous really that not having hair could stop us doing anything.
I see you have a Freedom wig. I'm thinking of getting one. Are they easy to style? Is it just like having your real hair?
thanks for saying hi!! I just read your info, and am happy for you that you have such an awesome attitude. It's not going to beat us, hey!
i'm in Hobart, and loving it. Did the UK thing last year, was so over it, i'm glad to be home.
I'd love to keep in touch, as i think the more of us out there, the better ;)
Take it easy over there!

how are you doing?
How is everything going in Canada?
I love your Golden Gate Bridge Pic. A beautiful day in San Francisco.
