You're an inspiration Heather, What a great experience for you. Well done!

Hey Heather: just wanted to let you know that I am trying to get some in the Vancouver area to a meet and greet. So.... it's going to be at Artigiano's in Park Royal South Side on Sunday Aug 29 at 3pm. I hope you can make it. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi
I just returned to Vancouver after living in Australia and want to know if you belong to an Alopecia support group in the Lower Mainland. If so which one and if not are you interested in joining one?

Chris

Hey I was reading your about me and I was diagnosed with alopecia areata when I was 13 and now I am 15 and I loose like 50% of my hair then it comes back and then goes away again and I was just wondering about your wig what kind is it? I can never find a comfertable one, and I just wanted to say your so pretty, and your wig looks really nice in your picture

oh thats cool...ill think about it....im not sure which one is better for me, the one youre talking about or a freedom wig. how much was yours?

thanks! are they kind of like vacumm wigs or how do they work? becuase you can swim in them right?

Hi heather. I read your comment on the teenager with alopecia group. My mom also realized that my hair was falling out in Disney World when i was like four.The chlorine in the pool was the trigger to my alopecia. im also 14 almmost 15 and i dont have a wig but im thinking ill need one soon.

Hi heather, Im 14 and will be 15 this year I was diagnosed with alopecia areata when i was 13. Only aftter 3 months of experiencing hair loss I had to get a wig, It was very devastating for me. It is still hard to except it now sometimes. I don't have a lot of hair left, but i started out with a long human hair wig too. Then my mom bought me a cyber hair wig. And then i went to a synthetic... I want to switch back to my medium hair lenght cyber, my synthetic is a bob cut and i don't want kids at school to make fun of me i have already had to deal with that and i don't really want to go throught all that stress again.. so what should i do?

Hi Heather! You look great, and you hair is gorgeous! :) I checked out Amys' Presence, but couldn't tell what base is used. My current hair is lace based with real hair, so I prefer to not swim in it. Tell me more about yours (price, hairline, attachment?).

I got AT at around the same age as you. I wore a bandana for a while during high school too. I didn't get a secure wig 'til after high school, so I missed out on sleepovers, dance club, track&field team, swimming, etc. I'm glad you found a great wig - it's quite useful especially during high school years! :)

Hi, thanks for the info, thats really helpful, I'm going to look on the website now, could you tell me how your wig is attached? Is it bonded on? Thanx

Hi Heather,
Thanks for the info. I'm so glad to hear that you are happy with your cyberhair wig. I'm going to make a trip to an Amy's Presence dealer in Washington soon - they have quoted me prices that are far more reasonable, and they seem to know what they are talking about. Excited to think about swimming with hair!

Hi Heather, I'm so curious about Amy's presence wigs! Yours looks great! Is it this 'cyberhair' I've read about? I was always an avid swimmer and so would love to have a wig that I could swim and exercise in. Do you use an adhesive to keep it on? I went to a wig shop in Vancouver - an Amy's presence/cyberhair dealer and wasn't able to get much info. The fellow only kept insisting that I should order a wig for $5000.00!! Can I ask you where you get your wigs and approximately how much they cost? Any info would be appreciated!

hello Heather ,
You look great , is that a wig or your real hair !

I love it , it suits you so much

Hi Heather, It's nice to see lots of young people around. don't feel so isolated that way.
Hope we can talk soon :)

Hey Heather,
I've had alopecia for 30 years (wow, I'm gettin' old). I went AT when I was 13 and then AU at 16. If you ever wanna talk to someone who's been through the good and the bad, don't be afraid of sending me a message. Keep smiling! :)
