I am glad we are all on here and going through the same thing (especially the feelings). Having any type of hair loss is debilitating to say the least. The weirdest thing about my story is that when I was younger - I shaved my head and wore wigs…

I am waiting on a biopsy to confirm, but my dermatologist diagnosed me with a late onset Alopecia Totalis Universalis, with a Chronic Telogen Effluvium - I am 36. I never had super thick hair, but I started losing my hair about 2-3 years ago and it…

I don't blame you. You have to do what's right for you. I have also considered all-lace cap. I just would like to learn how to apply them myself. Still unfortable about going into shops to try them on and letting someone see me bald,…

Alexandra, Your old friends are still here (although I admittedly am also not here as much as I once was). You're looking fabulous as always! Great to hear from you! Keep on touch... Jeff

About Me:
Hello!
My main passions in life include traveling the world, being active, dancing my heart out, applying make-up (it's fun! it's art!), and being with those who love me as much as I love them. I am determined to succeed in my future career and fulfill my dream of one day living in a posh apartment in Paris. Cultures fascinate me, reading is a gift I treasure, I cherish knowledge, and I am bedazzled by the arts (be it performing or still), and if I didn't have such severe allergies and asthma I would surround myself with kittens and bunnies because they're so cute! Although I rarely watch TV, I do enjoy watching Roseanne, Married with Children, Judge Judy, The Fresh Prince of Bell Air, Design Star, The Nanny, and The Golden Girls. I am a big fan of movie nights, too, especially if they include a good comedy, as I love to laugh!

If there's one thing that hair loss taught me, it's that amazing people are better than a full head of hair. I think my full head of hair blinded me from seeing the truth, in a sense. I was more naive, shy, and unrealistic about how people are and how life works. I don't mean to imply that female pattern baldness made me cynical, but it has allowed me to open my eyes to the world. If anything, I feel more optimistic about my life and my future now. I had drowned in a blackened sea of hopelessness, but become afloat with a knowledge of how to swim. I am now more confident with who I am and what I hope to get out of life.
Ahoy! =)

It's been a while! (Wig pictures attached!)

Posted on June 14, 2011 at 6:30pm 7 Comments

Hello again!

I'm not sure how many of you remember me, or if any of my old friends from AW are still here. I haven't been active here in about a year due to a constant work/school schedule, but I wanted to come back and say hi to everyone I know and those I have yet to meet! How are you guys? What's been going on and how have you been?



Looking back at old blog posts I can honestly say that I think I've made it past the worst part of alopecia, emotionally. Yes, my hair is falling… Continue

Uncertainty sets in

Posted on July 20, 2010 at 10:43pm 8 Comments

Well it looks like that dreaded fearful monster has snuck up on me again. The thought of being bald is making me scared. Maybe it's because I've been seeing that guy who I had broken up with again. Even though he came back to me telling me how much he misses me and loves me for me, I still have trouble believing him. I believe that he cares about me, but I still feel that he won't feel the same about me when I shave my head. Why? Because when we spoke about it the other day he was dodging the… Continue

Today at the Salon...

Posted on May 31, 2010 at 9:47pm 6 Comments

Today I was at the salon getting my nails done by the lady who usually does my nails every time I go there. I haven't been to this particular salon in a couple of months, but one of the first things I noticed was that this lady cut off her waist-long black hair into a borderline crew cut. I thought it really made her face stand out and so I complimented her on it. She got all fluttery and was like "Thanks so much! I really like it this way too!" and was all smiles....until the woman next to me… Continue

Sad =( Help?

Posted on March 21, 2010 at 9:01pm 5 Comments

I just saw pictures of my ex boyfriend with some other girls. (He's the one I wrote about in a bunch of my past blog entries.) I'm pretty sure he's not dating any of them since most of them have boyfriends, but I know he did like one of them and another one kissed him when they were drunk about a year ago. Note: At that point he and I weren't officially dating, but we did have something going on and it upset me A LOT.



So now I keep feeling this sad weight tugging my heart down to my… Continue

A Great Quote!

Posted on February 28, 2010 at 9:27pm 6 Comments

I heard this on some home and garden TV show today, but I feel like it really applies to all of us here who are dealing with some form of alopecia....especially if at one point you had hair and unexpectedly lost it.

"Let go of your old self image so you can start loving yourself as you are today."

This quote really stuck with me. One of the hardest things about having female pattern baldness for me has been remembering how thick and blonde my hair used to be and…

Just wanted to drop by and say hello and hopefully things are a little better lately. Everything is slightly ok on my end and and i'm just moving along the best i can like all of us. Oh have you seen the scarves called "thebeaubeau" they are pretty and a little pricey but they have a website and i think they would look kinda cute if i learned how to tie them correctly. well agian please take care of yourself and i will see you around and stay cool :o)

Good to hear from you to, i'm sorry that your mother isnt supportive, its hard enough mentally with this hair loss doesnt help to have someone being negative. but like you said we have to keep our head up and frankly i know we will find someone because people are doing it all the time here on AW and besides i rather be alone and be happy with myself then be with someone i dont like because he just so happens to accept my hairloss or be with a jerk who makes me feel bad about my hairloss. anyway i'll talk to you soon sweetie bye.

Hey how are you doing? i wasnt doing so well for a couple of days, i was doing really well and then the other day was washing my hair and just broke down crying, it lasted for 2 days and i couldnt shake it. getting closer to shaving it off even though part of me feels that once i do that i will never see it agian. there are times i look forward to wearing pretty scarves and finding different wigs and then like recently i just wish i was doing it because i wanted to not because i will have to. i'm sorry for then un positive comment but i guess we all have our moments. anyway hope all is well and will talk to you soon.

My hair is doing ok i guess, looks fuller when dry and like a mess when wet lol still wearing scarves though it makes me feel better, i also believe by the middle of this year i should be sporting wigs and i'm praying that i like it. I'm ok a little stressed over certain things but trying to move forward, i figure i have a long road ahead of me so i better get toughened up. Well i hope your days start to get easier and your in good health. talk to you soon :o)
