continued: but he was the first person i have ever told about my alopecia and i feel like i have made such a hugeeee step in my self acceptance and i beleive this is through the therapy i have been having... if it wasnt for my therapist i would have run away a month or two ago from him!! it was a really great/horrible feeling, but i sort of wish i didnt have to tell him. do you ever have this dilema or do you go out without your wig?? Hope all is well, upadte me on life!!! Soph xxxx
Sally! im so sorry i have taken about 5 months to reply to you, i keep fluttering on and off AW but i am back on and now and going to try make it a regular web page i visit!! How are things and how are the eyebrows holding up!? the new wig is lovely, had a brunette freedom wig since november ish, and ironically the blondey one is balding now!!! as much as i love my wig, i also resent it in a way.... i feel im not being true to myslef when im wearing and it and im finding it really really hard to meet new people when wearing it if they dont know i have alopecia... id been seeing and talking to this guy for a few months every second of every day and i absaloutely adore/d him, however we only met up a few times as he works etc im still at college and just was hard to find a time, but he didnt know i have alopecia!! ... so i told him, he told me he suffers from depression (which was a SHOCK!!!! but i guess it really avtually nice for me to feel like im not the only one with a problem in the relationship!!), he told me it doesnt bother him at all and doesnt change the way he feels about me... but then about a week later i was drunk and text him and said i cant be bothered with you if im never going to see you, which i did mean because i want all or nothing and i was fed up with not seeing him properly, i just wanted to spend time with him you know??!?, but i REALLY regret saying it, i sound like a desperate clingy loss!!!!! i apologised and explained the next morning, and he said dont worry about it...and now we havent spoken properly for about a week, when i started a conversation he did seem into it etc, but then we dont talk for 5 days or so and i really miss him- and im trying to figure whether he does have a problem with my alopecia, or if it was what i said. im feeling fairly love sick :(
Hey Sal, Thanks for the compliment! That means a lot coming from such a young beautiful girl like you. I haven’t gone back for this treatment yet now because it is hard to get the drug that is used with PUVA, but I have done this about three times over the years and each time my hair grew back 100% and then it would slowly fall out again over many years, but I never would burn, just like I never burn in the sun either. Sorry it didn’t work for you, but I think you would look good bald because you have that pretty face. Take Care!
hey sally :)
i get my wigs from a place called mandeville's in London. They are amazing wigs, made from real hair, and i use double sided tape to make sure it stays on my head. This means i am able to do sports which involves me getting rather sweaty and not have to worry about my wig coming off.
Go to http://www.mandeville-wigs.co.uk/ and browse around a bit. if you go into the gallery you will see a picture of a young blonde girl, that's me. i've been going there since i was 5 years old. i had fake wigs from the NHS before i was 5 and i hated them so so much!
hope this helps. :D Megannn x
aaah this is so bad im so sorry this is so late!!! im good thankyou- but been injured for 2 months! tore a ligament in my ankle in netball! my gcses are going not so great!!- in a bit trouble with it all acutally haha. aaaw thankyou! what have you been up to? i love english springs! apart from today, being sooo rainy! hope you are goood! xxxxx
Wow thank you! Actually it's H&Ms´ eyelashes!
I wear eyelashes very often and H&M is cheap and they are actually very good!
I started to put on lashes when I was about 12, I really sucked at it and didn't know how to do it. But with a little training it gets like a routine! I draw a little eyeliner in the gap that gets between your eye and the eyelash so it looks more real!
Do you have AA or AU?
Good luck with the eyelashes!
Hey.... the music is fleet foxes.. the albums amazing. Saw them live a while back.
Had aa for about 18 months now, it mainly stayed on my beard area but last month i found a spot in my hair which i was none too happy about. I have quite a lot of white hair regrowth, fed up waiting for the buggers to go black though, i liked being unshaven.
Hope you're well ... hows goldsmiths going ?
Whoever came up with this site is a genius, its really positive rather than dwelling on the negative aspects of aa.
YO ! just thought id say hello. I live in east dulwich so i think pretty close to you. Always nice to know other alopecians are near. Hope you're well.
haha!! well i go to reading uni and read law. i'm there term time.. i've just finished my second year and am on hols till october. right now i'm looking for jobs to get a little money in and i've already sorted out some degree related work in a few months :) ohh and i live in west london, in ealing. how about you? x x
hi gorgeous! im Soo sorry .. again! that i havnt replied!! i have been just so BUSY!! i had one of my gcses last week, so that was all a bit time consuming and i have been playing alot of tennis etc!! but yah, im now in hte full swing of my wig, and no its really not uncomfortable the suction.. like i only reason most of the time i am aware i have it on is cos i can feel the hair round my face!! i had it highlighted and cut but im not too sure about the cut... !!

You're studying Drama...extraordinary ~ My life is a study in drama! : ) nah...jk...love your page and what you said. Speaks to a level of self-awareness and clarity that is beautiful. Oh and btw, I too have a yellow Lab. My baby's name is Madison! She and Max would get along famously!! : )
Ooo, I have started looking at that too- it would appear that when I try to draw in my eye brows I have the hand of an alocoholic in remetion! Eeek! Much practice needed! lol xxx
