No I didn't hear about it. I have to work this Saturday so I doubt I'll be able to make it. Where in Oak Lawn and do you know what time? I'm hoping maybe they'll have another one that I can make. Glad to hear you were able to work with your own hair. And, congrats on the new brows. I'm sure they look great. That's an option I'm gonna let Becky decide on when she is older. You'll have to let me know who did yours so when the time comes I have a reference.
Hi Sam! Really appreciate that you read my profile. I had AT a year ago. Now its AU. Still falling. Understand how you feel. I shaved my head last year but most of my friends cant take it so I buy myself a wig. Its totally different being an AU in Malaysia. How I wish I live in US, UK, Europe or anywhere where others don't mind bald women.
Hi Samantha! I went to this place called Naturally Yours in Willowbrook on Rt 83 (Kingery Hwy). I really liked it. They are very nice and knowledgeable and it's very private there - they don't really let anyone in without an appointment. So when you go you're the only one there getting all the attention. ;)
haha frente rocks! my sister saw them at the big day out in melbourne in the early 90s when she was 18...she got to go back stage and hang out with angie hart the lead singer and the rest of the band and have a few drinks. i was only in like grade five then but i was stoked that my big sis got to hang out with frente!
hope your ok, ive just got home im on a tv show in england for alopecia sufferers so ill tell you all about it when i know more, hows the eyebrows going ?
thanks for your nice comments ive had alopecia universalis for three months and shaved my hair off after eight weeks as it was looking bad and feel much better for it, i draw my eyebrows on and everything else, so not bad really.....
i had my first child in august of 06. about 6 months after i had him, it all came out. i never had aa before in my life. i was a mess for a very long time, but have finally accepted it. so do you still have your lashes?
ok, your pic cracks me up! how are you doing with your hair loss? i have au and have finally come to accept it. did you ever get your eyebrows/lashes tatooed? i am thinking of doing that. jenn
I am happy for you.....getting the tattoos will make your life so much easier!! I know exactly how you are feeling about the whole wig situation. When I started losing my hair I was convinced it was going to come back. I figured I just needed to see the right doctor with the right meds or cream or injection or whatever to bring my hair back.....but after seeing a lot of doctors and exhausting all methods to get my hair back and still seeing no results I started to think maybe it's not coming back but I decided to live in denial a little longer...I did not want to wear a wig.....I wore hats over what little hair I had left and thought my hair probably looked thin but it was fine with the hat....it was not until I went shopping at my favorite clothing store and stood in front of the three way mirror to check out a outfit that I got a glimpse of the back view of my head and saw I looked bald with my hair all pulled to the front ....all I saw was bald spots....I quickly went back into the dressing room through on my clothes and got out of the mall as soon as possible I was shocked at how bad my hair looked but I always just saw it from the front so I didn't know....it was that day I decided to get a wig....now I love my wigs! :)
Becky started with only one bald spot perfectly on the top of her head at the age of 4. That one grew in quickly. After that it seemed that every year usually around spring she would have a few more bald spots but would always grow back around fall. She tested positive for hypothyroid when she was 10 years old. I thought that we had the answer to the hair loss but since her thyroid is now maintained through meds she still had hair loss. This year being the worse. Becky only has very little hair left but refuses for me to shave off the rest. Again, I'll let her make up her own mind on this one. Becky does also have severe allergies and asthma all which are pretty much controlled. As for the wig it does shape itself. I haven't tried it yet but I know that if Becky would like to put a curl to it we could put velcro rollers in it when wet and spray it lightly to keep the curl.
