Hi everyone i wanted to share something that happened to us at a restaurant. We were eating minding our business next thing you know the waitress comes with a sombrero and puts it on my daughter with out even asking if we were ok with it, maybe she ment well, I just didn't know what to say, there were other kids there my daughter is the only one that got one, so is not something the restaurant does, and of course my daughter takes it off and puts it on her sister who is one yrs. old. I think that people were starting to feel unconfortable like in everywhere we go we get the stairs as if we're aliens or something. I just don't get it if its ok for a bunch of men to walk around with their bold heads why isn't it ok for girls to walk around bold. I feel much better now thank you

Just wanted to send out a positive vibe. I just came back from a Pro Makeup Show in LA and there was a very good looking young guy with AU working at the show! I would have thought it was a strange place to work but just goes to show AU doesn't mean you can't work in the beauty industry!

Hallo, in my daugthers AA case, my husbands 3th grade cousin have AA, she got it when she was ca. 2 years old, and she is now 28 years and still no hair on the head, she did not loose here other hair, so my daughter " only" the head, so "I" believe it is genetic, like so many other autoimmune diseace!!

My husband told me he remembers having a huge bald spot when he was young, but it grew back so he never thought anymore of it. I rember a chunk of hair falling out while I was in college (right at the front of my hairline), but again, it grew back, so I didn't worry about. Also my nephew had some bald spots when he was very little. None was ever diagnosed with it though, so I have no cluye if any of us have it. My daughter is doing very well now after suffering for over three years. She has about 95% of her hair.

My son is the only one in my family that I know of with AA. His dermatologist and pediatrician both said that most of the time there is someone else in the family tree with some type of auto-immune condition (my mother has graves disease) but not necessarily AA.
