hello! you are stunning!! where did you get your photos done? can u recommend anywhere to get some unique photos done with and without my wig? thank you. xxxx
Hey there,
my mum was diagnosed with alopecia last year, and unfortunately she dealt with it quite badly. As a result when it came to doing my dissertation at uni, I thought looking into the affects hair loss has in women would be an interesting eye opening topic to research. I however need to carry out some interviews with women in the UK suffering from alopecia, so if you would be willing to take part let me know, if not no problem.
I agree with evrything you say. I wouldn't consider myself brave at all. If you had met me as a child you would never believe I could do anything that was in any way 'different' from other people. I do not like being different so I guess that is why I wore a wig from age 25 to 40. However life does change you and as I reached 40 a new slow growing inner confidence grew. By then my colleagues only knew me wearing a wig so to go back to school (teaching) without was completely embarrising. In fact I dreamt about it every night for 6 weeks during the summer holidays that year. I arranged to arrive late for the Ist staff meeting that every one was attending - walked in and announced I had decided to come back without my wig on, sat down and promptly burst into tears! The Ist time anyone had ever seen me upset in 10 years of working there! Everyone was bril! They said I looked great and thought it made no difference as they all knew me for who I was. The next day I I met all the children and once again the same response - they were more interested in meeting their new friends anyway. Since then I have never looked back. I rearly hear any negative comments. The only hurtful ones are when children see me sometimes they say to their parents 'Look mum that lady looks like a man' - or 'that lady has no hair'. Anyone who talks to me always admires me! Maybe some day we will meet up. I hope so.
I too have embraced my sleek look and yet just as you explained..there are days..or moments...something happens when it somehow creeps back in...feelings of sadness.Yet.. I continue to stand tall...proud and know it's me who is in control of my feelings and my life.No other can ever walk in my shoes, except for those who have lived with Alopecia.
Nice to meet you

Hi there! I also live in Cardiff! I have alopecia universalis...so a total baldy!! I've had it for just over 6 years now and am actually pretty confident and happy. There are tricky moments and I do have the occasional sulk, but like you, on the whole I'm a happy bald chick!!! xx
WOW! What fabulous photos. You are beautiful and an inspiration.

I also noticed that in some of your photos that you are with Kumi, the beautiful bald lady from San Francisco.
The two of you bald and beautiful women together is lovely. You ladies are hot!
You are unusually beautiful. You wear the bald look exceptionally well. I can understand why people want you as a model.
My own wife is bald and beautiful like you are. She has alopecia universalis.
I am one of those men who finds bald women to be very beautiful. To me you can see a woman's feminine features better if she is bald. To me it enhances a lady's beauty and feminine allure if she is bald.
Hi, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder
Hey - even if you are "normal" the world can be an ugly place. If they aren't nice to you perhaps you can sneer at them like you do in the pictures, I'm sure they'd think twice next time LOL. I think you're beautiful!!! Keep smiling!
