Hi Kath, I was just wondering if you used any meds when you first started getting patches? Also, how long did it take for hair to regrow, and fall out again?
Hi Kath, Thank you or your response..I am in such a rut I just dont know what to do or where to turn..I am truly trying my best to cope with this the best I can..Thank you for the kind words..
Hi Kath,
Thanks so much for the comment - I don't get up to Auckland all that often but would be tempted! I've found the Freedom wig difficult in terms of styling and colouring - the lady I went to here is not happy with colouring it and my experience at a regular salon has put me off going that way again!
You look so good in your photos :)
Hi Kath, thanks for introducing yourself. Yes it would be nice to meet up sometime, or get to know other kids with Alopecia in Auckland. This site is great when I feel a little sad about his hair loss, as I don't feel like he is the only one going through it.
Hi Kath, we are good, we have just come back from a month back at home in Canada with a stop at Disneyland en route. It was great fun travelling with the kids. Although I have to say the North Americans are a lot more forward when looking our bald child. We were at a McDonald's in rural Ontario and the manager came out an ask Madi if she would like to come back and make herself a sundae. After we left Madi kept asking why that lady did that for her. I told her it was because of her accent and they new she was from another country.
Anyhow we are glad to be home. Bring on summer! Great to hear from you. Hope to meet with you soon Fiona
Hi ya, We are good, I just got back from the school asembly were madi recieved and award. It was very cute, her little bald head up pn stage. Where abouts in NZ are you? i would love for Madi to catch up with others in NZ. She is facinated with the pics on this web site, it would be great for her to meet others with Alopecia. Thanks once again for your message. Fiona
Thanks for your comment! It's very exciting to come on here and see others in NZ with Alopecia. I am yet to meet anyone who also has Alopecia, and I certainly don't see any around Wellington going 'au natural', so I'm guessing they must all be wearing fabulous wigs! :)

Hi Kath. I love this site as it shows me that I am definately not alone in what I am going through. I did shave the remaining bits of hair off on boxing day and wow it felt amazing. I have given up on the wig that I bought and wear a cap when I go out. Apart from that I am au-naturale. Since shaving my head I have lost my eye brows and lashes as well. But, hey, it all blends in. Looking at your pics you would never guess that you wear a wig. Your pics are stunning
How did the Auckland Alopecians get-together go? I am so sorry for missing that one. Are you thinking of organising another one. I would be very happy to help. :)
Hi Kath
Thanks for the invite! I might even taker u up on it! As my partner & I r moving to Motutapu Island next week, I'll be up auckland way!
Please contact me with further details on 0274697075 or email bexweller@hotmail.com
Thanks hopefully meet u soon! :)
Hi Kath! Thanks for dropping by my page. As it turned out, I didnt have to get a wig. Well, not yet anyway. The hairloss has abated and the patch has not gotten any bigger so I'm crossing my fingers that it'll stay that way or better still go away for good! I'm getting my steroid injections today. =)
Hi Kath thanks for the reply and yes that would be fantastic if Deanna is happy for us to use her place cool..........I will msg her and see what she thinks.
Thanks Sharon
Rose Marie (Deanna) mentioned that you are arranging for Auckland alopecians to meet up. Let me know if I can help in any way. And thank you so much for narrating your experience with Hair Creations. I've been to their shop last week and found a wig that I liked. It's comforting to know that I now have a quick fix to resort to should my alopecia progress to a more severe form. Thanks Kath and have a nice day. =)
Hi Kath, thanks for replying to my query about wigs. How did you find the wigs done by haircreations? I have an appointment to see their representative this weekend and I feel a bit daunted by the task of choosing my first wig because I dont want to spend a lot of money on the wrong hairpiece. That would really aggravate my emotional distress. I really have no one to talk to about this condition. The people I've tried to talk about AA just brushed it off and said that it's just hair. Are the wigs from haircreations natural-looking and secure? I dont mind spending a few more dollars for a more genuine-looking hairpiece. I just dont want to draw attention to myself more than what's necessary. Thanks Kath and I look forward to hearing your advice. And thanks for taking the time to listen. =)

Thanks so much for putting up those photos - the short wig looks fabulous! It would be great to chat more.
