Thanks for the info! I was worried about the scalp thing because I have an extremely sensitive scalp and am also prone to eczema. I also had problems with the lace front coming off, mostly in water, but also when I would brush it with a little too much enthusiasm or when I would put it into a ponytail. I plan on just wearing a bandana in the summer when I ride my horse or will be outside for a long time since georgia summers are horribly hot and humid lol. But I would like one for college, mostly because I either get really really hot or really really cold. Air-conditioning literally gives me a runny nose lol. Plus I have found it is easier to tell people about alopecia after you have known them for awhile. Thanks again!
Hi Kath
Oh I would love to meet up with you. Is it ok if I bring my mother along, I just don't want to go alone, i know sounds childish but it'll be good for me lol. I'm working most days, when is a great day to see you. I don't mind having a night gathering it's really cool.
So let me know what you would like to do, thanks so much...
I really want to look at getting a silcon wig before my 21st birthday next year in August. I'm scared of the prices and how long it takes to make my wig, so I was thinking about it sooner rather than later. I know that I have to shave all my hair off but I'm fine with that. Can you recommend a good place to go and have a look at??? I'm feeling really scared though. I know that it was hard for you but you got over it and just lived on with life daily. I love that. As for your career i'm so happy for you. Even though we've meet online, it seems that i've known you for a life time. I want to have a successful career in the future to better my family and community. I've thought about what people would say and how they would react when they see me with a wig or hair for that matter, I guess i've got to think positive, like you. I'm driven by change and a better future and I don't want AA to step into my lime light and take it all away from me. So I think, planning for my very first vacum wig is another step to "Stacey's strand by strand achievements"
Thanks for leaving a comment on my page.
Thanks for the great advise about getting my very first wig, hehe...I know it's going to be hard for me to step outside with my wig and let people see me free of wearing scraves and hats. People seem to think of wigs as a funny thing, but for people like us it's what makes us more confident and proud of having AA. I'm trying to still understand the importance of living my life and it's great for my self development, especially since I want to develop my career... I have a question, did you always want the career that you have with AA?
God bless
How are you? Sorry I have only just seen your message I haven't been on hear for ages. I am dealing with my alopecia much better now than before but it's still hard at times. This site is so great as you know you are not alone, and there are people out there like you. Where about's in Auckland do you live? I live in South Auckland, would be so great to met people who have alopecia.
Hi Kath
thankyou for replying you sound so positive this group is certainly a great place to feel comfortable. Yes i will check out the chemist for hats i have never been a hat person but am accepting them as a good option now. I still have the odd day when I feel a bit down about my hair but I guess I should be thankful I am not ill . Would love to chat sometime. Maybe when I get home from my holiday it would be nice to make phone contact
Hi Kath it is always nice to see another kiwi on here. Our daughter is basically AU she is nearly 12. Where are you from? Wouldn't it be awesome if us kiwi's could all get together sometime.

HI Kath, 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
Hi Kath,
Nice to see another Kiwi on here.
I enjoyed reading your comments on Freedom wigs as I have worn them for many years. Great to read about your new one with the new base. I will have to wait awhile to try one as my newest wig was made last year.
Take care
Cheryl
