Thanks for the friend request, Christy!! Life is going great even with alopecia. It's just a part of my life, most of the time I even forget that I have it. Of course, unless it's really windy. (; I hope all is going well for you too. Take…

CSue, I feel the same way. I've lost more since I took my pictures. I really need to update these! I now shave about once every week or so to get rid of the stubble and help with the itching when wearing a scarf, cap or wig. No one really…

Hi Kathy, Thanks for accepting my request. This site is amazing, and I honestly do not know how I would have survived the past year after loosing even more hair! Take Care, Christy

Hi Christy,
Thanks for the friend request. I don't get on here very often anymore because I'm still in denial after 16 years of this balding process. I am completely bald now in fact my head looks a lot like yours only my fine hairs are…

Well before I joined this website, I would always just say "thank you" when they told me my hair looked great. Since joining this website, I find myself telling even total strangers that it's a wig. A couple of weeks ago a bank teller…

Hi Christy, thanks so much for the friend request. Yes, I am doing well, hope you are too. I've just been overwhelmed picking out wigs and headcovers and learning so much about hair loss.
Christy Ingram replied to Nancy King's discussion 'Female pattern hair loss'
I too often wish I could wake up and what little I have left would be gone, since it doesn't appear like I am am going to have regrowth, in fact it seems to be getting worse. I already know what I look like bald because I shave every week or so…
Christy Ingram replied to Nancy King's discussion 'Female pattern hair loss'
I really need to update my pictures! I keep saying I'll get around to it, but haven't. Those are a year old. I have lost quite a bit more. I did try to let it grow some last spring and hoped to try for a pixie or bob type cut, but it was…

- I am so glad I found this site when I googled Alopecia!
I'm a 49 yr old married Grammy who has struggled with baby fine thinning hair and eyebrow loss almost all of my life. In the past 10 years, I have had numerous tests, tried an untold number of prescription drugs (oral and topical) and taken expensive supplements...In 2007 I had hysterectomy because my heavy extended periods and fibroids were supposedly causing my ferritin and iron levels to bottom out which caused my hair loss?!? Well the surgery didn't stop the hair loss, I lost even more hair. I had another Biopsy June 2010, with the diagnosis of Severe AGA or FPB. In August 2010 my Dermatologist recommended a Wig shop, and the ladies there said I didn't have thick enough hair for the combs used for attaching a fall, topper, or any type of hairpieces or extensions. My son was getting married in less than a month, and I was loosing even more, my left side was almost completely bald.
Sunday August 29th 2010 I got fed up with not being able to do anything with what I little I had left, my so called pony tail wasn't even as big around as a dime! So I cut it and shaved the rest down to 1/8" it sure didn't take very long...I suspect my Alopecia may be more than the biopsied AGA or FPB maybe Diffuse AA? it is so sparse over most of my head now! I have several small odd shaped areas where there aren't any hair follicles I go back to my dermatologist in a couple of weeks for another Alopecia and mole check.
This site is amazing! I hope someday to be able to encourage others!!! BTW my husband has been bald (MPB) almost all of our time together. I think he looks awesome when he keeps it shaved!!!

I like the piece in you profile picture too. I think it is very natural looking!! Glad to be friends. The support is awesome. For so long I felt isolated and alone in my plight. xoxo

- Hi Christy,
Thanks for the friend request. I don't get on here very often anymore because I'm still in denial after 16 years of this balding process. I am completely bald now in fact my head looks a lot like yours only my fine hairs are completely white. Even when I first started losing my hair and new little growths grew back they were white. Part of it they say. Good to see your dark hair! Love your cute, stylish wig!!
You just inspired me to get on here more often and communicate with people who know exactly what I am going through. Have a great week!

- Welcome to the International Alopecia Day Group, Christy! In answer to your question, to be involved, all someone has to do is something to commemorate the Day, wherever they live. You can organize a group or small meeting through posting a discussion about your city on the International Alopecia Day Group. The time is a bit short for that this year, though.
Some people have a photo of themselves taken and send me that and I include it in my slide show. ( Watch last year's video to see what I mean.) Other people organize a small picnic, walk, social gathering, with friends including others who have hair loss. It can be a very small gathering, or a big event.
The idea is to have fun and to let people know about Alopecia Areata and hair loss. Someone with Female Pattern Baldness like yourself is welcome.
My original idea was for ONE day when people who hadn't tried going out in public bald would do that - sort of a coming out day, and a chance to take that first step. That idea is still part of IAD, but now it's about simply celebrating and raising awareness. (You can be wearing a wig - being wigless is optional, but that's awesome if you do.)
