aww, i'm sure it'll be fine when you go back to school. you could even go completely bald as it kinda makes a statement and you don't care.. but i dunno what its like for a girl sooo :P when i got my hair loss i still went out in uni and stuff and didn't quit but kept it sly lol.
1st stage: lots of hairspray.. tons and a hoody.
2nd stage: after it got a bit worse lots of combing the back of my hair down and combing it in weird directions to cover up the bald spots with tons of v05 freeze hold hairspray. it was grreat haha.
3rd stage: panic!!! wear my hoody AT ALL TIMES.
4th stage: shave it all off and wear a trendy cap. my friends were shocked but accepted it straight away and everyones been kool with it, so it turned out better than i expected.
5th stage/present: keep shaving it, no cap or anything, and having to use eyeliner to draw extensions on my partial eyebrows now lol :(
I'm 21, go to Reading uni (I think uni = college in america???) and study law. i love music if that isn't obv, going out with friends for random days out and gigs :)
That's funny because I was pretty much going through the worst time of my life and was severely depressed, then after that I noticed this hair thing and I'm like whhhyyy meee lol. yeah hair is a bit important to a lot of people these days :( ahhhhhhh wellll. x
Aww thank you sweetness :) It means a lot to me!! Since having alopecia my confidence has pretty much hit rock bottom. And I'm glad you're getting better now :) x
hi again.. so i was looking at the national convention thingy in Kentucky.. are you going? cuz i really wanna go.. but like am i allowed to wear my wig there?? cuz idk if im comfortable going with out it yet..
hey brooke~
i got a question.. im having a really hard time with the whole eyelash putting on thing.. like i have them all good and on then in like 4 or 5 hours the glue gets all gross and they fall off.. you got any suggestions??
My alopecia started showing up when I was 12. I am losing a lot of it now and will probably be bald by the end of the year. Where are you from? I grew up in a really conservative small town so my "alternative" look wasn't necessarily appreciated. I live in Austin now and get lots of compliments on my "hairstyle". I love being able to tell people about alopecia when they say that though. :-)
Hi lady - you have the most stunning eyes. I know you said you were looking for teens to talk to but I'm around if you'd like to chat sometime. My alopecia started showing when I was 12 so I know what it's like growing up with it. Cheers!
hii.. sorry i have taken soooo long to reply- ive had sooo much school work to do its crazy!!
yeah, i also think its so sad that people think that someone is what they look like, its almost as if they are so fricking stupid they cant be bothered to look further than someones hair. i dont know about america, but i know in surrey, england where i live... you can tell you are from surrey by the way you wear your hair... the 'surrey flick' its quite funny actually! but i do kinda feel like an outcast at times, but yeah i guess i do feel like i coped well... though i happened to me when i was abiout 7 but now ive been totally bald for like 3 years, eyelashes i usually have but my brows are not very there, they are blonde, and a few dark hairs kinda thing!! so i never really have had to think about my alopecia deeply, its always just been something i never really understood but got on with life but now i do think it happened for a reason.
and yeah haha its such a good way to weed out the ass holes!! i dont have time for people who care... i say if u dont like it, then F*** off!! i hate seeeing pictures and stuff of me when i was loosing my hair it really upsets me, but i almost feel embarrased that i walked around like that... but i know i shouldnt think that!! i am now quite an angry person and find it REALLY hard to tell people how i feel, like i just got my freedom wig, and i just cant say the words to some of my friends, 3 of them know, but its weird, i just cant say the words almost as if i dont want to freak them out talking about it? do all your friends know you wear a wig? i sometimes worry taht if i do wear my wig that people might think i dont want to be who i am? though getting my wig has made me go throgh a bit of a identity crisis which isnt good! just i dont really know who i am and stuff? oh well! ill get over it!! x
