Hey Ashley,
Just wanted to say that it seems like you have a similar story to mine :) ive been AU for 3 years now! I gave up on the medications a long time ago, although i am still on the list for the National Institute of Health here in Bethesda MD in case they have some breakthru on the disease.

You are a beautiful woman!!! :) stay strong :)

Hi Ashley -
I share your approach to Alopecia. I also have not sought treatment in a long time. I am comfortable with myself and this disease, and all of the disappointments in trying different medications upsets me as well.
Your confidence shines through in your pictures. Your a beautiful girl.

Hi, Ashley.
Nice to meet you! You have a great attitude about your Alopecia and your hair looks great!! I love the braids with the bandannas.
Gave me some ideas....

Just to say Ashley, i like your approach to life & alopecia too, also your hair looks wonderful & i think it`s your confidence that shines through & really makes you look wonderful.

Well have an absolute blast at the conference. I hate that the two are the same weekend. I know after this year you will definitely want to attend again. It's an awesome experience.

Hi Ashley,
I live in Atlanta also and don't know a soul besides myself with alopecia. Your hair looks awesome. All the wigs I have ever worn have bangs because I was afraid people would be able to spot the wig a mile away. Yours looks incredible. I would love to have more info about it if you are willing. Thanks, Erin

Hi Ashley may I ask what it cost you for the vaccum piece I work in new york and would be interested in where this place is... Here is my myspace site with my band www.myspace.com/artisticweednyc I am the same way I dont go out in public either but want to have my head tattoed my husband said that he thinks I might get sick with the needles that they use and its painful he said. oh well Im still having fun!!

Hey Ashley... I was looking at your pictures and noticed you had a few from good ol Jordan Hare Stadium. War Eagle!!! I'm actually graduating from Auburn's vet school in May. I'm back up in Louisville now but miss it down there already. (the weather at least...lol) Anyway, saw you lived in ATL now, you should get in contact with Jeremy. Hope you make it to the conference this year... it's one of the best things thats ever happened to me. I won't be an attendee this year because I am getting married the same weekend. If you go, you'll meet alot of great people. Hope everything is good in your world. Send me a message if you want. Hope to talk to you soon.

you are beautiful.. :-)

Hi Ashley. I'm new to Alopecia World and I was really struck by your photo. I would honestly never realize that you were wearing a wig....you look absolutely beautiful. I'm currently in contact with Carmen from Peggy Knight Solutions about getting a vacuum wig. Did you ever consider them or did you only consult with new hair tech? I'm just wondering if quality and everything is the same. I think they quoted me something like $4500....does this seem right to you? Also, if you don't mind me asking....are they your real eyebrows? I'm still up in the air about what to do about mine. Take care... Daria

Oakland was my first conference as well. Glad to hear that you will be in Louisville this year. Should be fun!

I will definitely post a bunch of pictures!! I am so excited!! I can't wait to get it done!! I will be sure to tell the folks at New Hair Tech. that you said hi! :)
I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

I see on your profile you got your hair from new hair technology I am going there this Monday March 24th to get my eyebrows and lashline tattooed by Jeffery Segal...have you had anything like that done?

Hello Ashley! Saw that you are in ATL? I'm up in Suwanee. Nice to know that there is someone close by. Have you been to a NAAF conference before?

Hi Ashley, I was wondering what wig you are wearing. It looks amazing. Is it comfortable?

Thanks

I love your wig, it looks amazing. I've never tried the vacuum wig, I have lace front wigs. How do you like them? I've heard mixed feelings about the vacuum ones.

Thank you Donna that was on my brain !!!

I just saw on the news that a tornado went through downtown Atlanta. Did it impact you at all?

Hi Ashley, Thanks for the advice. I'll schedule an appointment. If you are ever in NYC, feel free to get in touch with me. I'm only a 10 minute commute away!
