Thank you so much for the welcome. I am completely with you on the eyebrows and eyelashes. My eyebrows take me so much time in getting ready. I use stencils but some days it looks great and others, not so much. Please let me know how your eyebrow tattoo consultation goes. I am very curious about that. Hope to talk soon. Have a great day!!
hiya and thank you so so much for adding me,
i have done the prednisone 5 tbs aday 4 2 weeks than a drop down to 4 tbs aday for 2 weeks and then so on and so on and they worked well for me untill i stoped them. then it all seemed to do what it wanted from gray to brown then ok i am leaving you again.
I really wanted my eye brows back cos for some reason my brow and eye lashes never grow back so i had the steroid jabs in my eye brow's which were a killer I have also done the jabs in the head which made the new regrowth good but the rest of the hair fall out at the mo i dont know what to do, i have been in and out off the ali-p world for years now and now i have come to the point of oh well stick a wig on and get on with it
thank you so much

Hi everyone, I had spotty patches for a while (starting in 1996), which turned in to a type the dr called "ophiasis" which was a 1-inch band missing all around the hairline (entire head). I had this for a while (maybe about a year), along with no eyelashes or eyebrows. Then a while later I gave birth to my 1st child (a daughter) and about 6-8 months after that tramatic experience is when I lost all of my body hair (100% loss). Then about a year later I got pregnant with my 2nd child (son) and it started to regrow when I was about 3-4 months pregnant. It started to re-grow on my head (only) in the nice form of a mohawk (no kidding)...the mohawk gradully grew downwards to cover my entire head. Luckily enough it grew into a hairstyle. Gradually over a period of about 3-4 years I regained about 80-90% of my hair (entire body) back. There are still some sections on my legs that I don't have back. Hormones? Not sure? I've never done any treatments in any form. I wore wigs, which I've since figured out were probably more for the benefit of others than myself. I found that people were uncomfortable if I wasn't wearing one...
Thank you so much for the contact. I have both eyebrows back, minus a small section that is missing from one. I actually considered having mine tattooed on, but most of my friends didn't think I should. I kept drawing 'em on every day and now just fill in the spot that's missing...when I decide to wear makeup, that is. You have a beautiful family. I don't think I have ever had my photo taken without hair on. I'll have to get to that and post one up soon. Let me know if you get your eyebrows done and how it turns out.
Hey, Daria. Thanks for the very positive and encouraging feedback. I'm delighted to hear that you've made yourself at home here in Alopecia World. Tell your husband that we welcome him to join us as well. Great looking profile, by the way! :-)
I see u are in MD. So am I. I live in Clinton. I saw your profile. I had my eyebrows permanently done and loved it. I am getting the eyelashes next. But a little skeptical of the pain. LOL... and to think I have 4 tattoos...
You'll love the eyebrow tattoo FOR SURE! They really help frame the face, and for me, they are shaped more nicely than the real eyebrows I used to have.
Eyeliner tattoo does hurt, but it's worth it, especially on caucasian eyes!
I have mine tattoed. Got them done right after they fell out. I have no time to pencil them in. Many people tell me they look really natural and they get really close to prove they're not. I'm so glad I got them done.
The pain was not bad at all. Jeffery Segal uses 20% novacaine so it numbs it well. You should ask if they use novacaine and what percent. I didn't have any swelling or pain really at all the next day. I got the individual strokes done and they look like individual hairs...they look very realistic but you can have it done either way. If you are more use to the eye pencil look you can do that....jeff gave me the option. I was really worried about the pain and the recovery but it wasn't bad at all. I was fine the next day. I will post pictures soon so you can all see my results!!

I live in Baltimore also, northwest. You look great and I wish I was as brave as you, but I'm not. Rock on!
