Your head has got a perfect shape. In my opinion, you don't need a wig. But for you, women, it's easier because you can use make-up and we, men, can't.

So inspired. Happy birthday.

Laura, I'm watching your video and not connecting the dots....I'm thinking who is this woman with the hair???! and then I get it...she is you with a wig. Two different people....does that make sense? To me, you are stronger without your hair embarrassing all that you are and not hiding behind anything. You are quite an inspiration. If my FFA takes my hair or part of it, I pray that I would be just as courageous and as enpowered as you are. God bless you.

You are amazing and beautiful.  This brought such tears to my eyes.  I was just sitting there last Friday talking to my daughters about missing my hair and how sometimes I wish I just had it.  I was havin sad feelings because the previous night I had a dream that I went to the gym and I had my long dark brown hair.  As soon as I had that dream..I woke myself up and knew I didn't have hair.  I've only had AU for 3 years now.  It started at almost 36 yrs. old.  So as I teared up and telling my daughters about this dream...and I do go the gym often as well...I checked my emails on my phone few minutes later and there was my alopecia world one - sure enough I opened it up and read your story and saw this video.  I cried and cried and cried- tears of joy! It wasn't just a coincidence that few minutes earlier I was retelling my dream and feeling bad- than this amazing inspiring video clip! Not to mention the ironicness of when I turn 45- I will have had this for 9 yrs! You are gorgeous! Thank you thank you for this and I thank GOD for letting me know his presence and to lift me back up just as I felt sad for myself! I believe that one day this will be me- you rock!

I do not remember the last time I cried with that much emotion.  I have been going to the gym bald for years now.  You exhibit that look of finally being free.  I needed this inspiration.  Thank you.

My name is Mark Hansen and I live on the east side of Milwaukee. My hair started to fall out when I was in the 4th grade. By 7th grade it was mostly all gone, except for a few patches that were ripped out by bullies. My parents bought me my first wig when I was 15 and I wore (hid under one for 35+ years. I finally took it off about 10 years ago. I have never had a girlfriend or relationship in my whole life. I lost my virginity at age 48. That's it. I have Alopecia Universalis and I have been wearing a baseball cap everywhere outside in public ever since. No one knows me without my cap. I have an interview with a bank for teller position on Wednesday. I have been unemployed for what seems like forever. If I do happen to get the job it will be the first time in most of my life (I turned 59 on Feb 18th) about 49 years, where I will be out in public, in the work force, where I will not be able to hide under the so called safety of my wig or a cap. I am scared as hell. But also unusually confident. Mark S Hansen.
