My daughter Vanessa has had some form at AA (AT or AU) since the age of two. About 8 years ago she lost all of her hair with only eyebrows and eyelashes growing back about 2 years ago. She has hair growing back on her scalp for the first time in 8 years. It looks like about 75% of ther scalp has dark fine hair growing that is getting thicker and longer as it grows. I am more afraid then excited. This has been a devastating condition for her. She has never found any type of comfort level with…See More

Thanks for your reply. I think im going to purchase some scarfs today and see if she likes that look. She'd love anything different to do with her hair. The mask does bother me so we be very careful as you suggested.
Thanks again…"

Hello all,We are taking a cruise in a few weeks and my daughter Vanessa (18 with AU) who currently wears a vacumb piece is coming with us. She is really nervous about swimming and snorkeling and someone noticing that she wears a hair piece. I wish she wasn't but she just hasn't reached that point of acceptance yet. So, I was wondering if anyone had any tips I might have not already thought of that might help her to feel more comfortable? Thanks so much in advance :)CharlotteSee More
