Let my personality, my ambitions, my words, and my heart determine who I am-not my hair; for if that were the case, I'd be nothing. I wouldn't be here. -me

Try using an electric shaver that men use to shave their face. This is what I use. P.s. I live in Australia :)

do you have a link to this product? I tried to find it over internet but i couldn't find this product. I did found, however, some not so good testimonies about it.

Interesting, I've not aware of this product. I still swear by my electric razor in 3 short minutes....gone!

Has anyone ever tried a razorless cream shave? I just found one that is specifically for the head - to help with "bald head maintenance" - it's basically Nair! Any experiences out there?

- About Me:
- I have had Alopecia for about 10 months now, since like February. It's been quite a struggle not only for me, but my family, friends, and community as well. It's proven that I'm not the only one effected by this.
I don't have eyebrows, I basically have no hair, and am in the process of losing my eyelashes again and arm hair. I am pretty much always losing or regrowing my hair, and it's really tough because it's so unpredictable. I'm getting through it day by day, though. Things are getting easier for me. I am finally at that point where I care what people think about me being bald, but my life doesn't revolve around it.
I want to raise awareness for Alopecia especially in my community because no one here has a clue. This disease isn't rare, but so many people don't even know what it is. I can honestly say that this disease has benefited me and if I could take it back, I WOULDN'T because it's presented me with the opportunity to meet great people, determine my true friends, realize my family, and see life from a new perspective. It's not so bad after all, but who doesn't have their bad days???

- Hey Kaitlyn,
I'm Cookie and I just finished reading that article that was written about you. I would say strangely it's pretty much identical to what I've been through but this is Alopecia World and I'm sure many of us have been through the same hoops. I hav had alopecia since about 6th grade but no one ever made fun of me until i switched schools in 8th grade. It's then I started wearing headbands to school and I had guys pulling them off all the time and running with them. I had a guy that lived around the corner from me write in my year book "Got Hair". I had to get the teacher to get white out so I could have other kids continue to sign it. Just like you whenever I went out I either had a headband on or I wore a hair piece. I've lost more hair since then so now I preety much wear wigs all the time but I'm still not completely bald. I think now that I have graduated high school and in college, I'm doing much better and my self esteem is a little higher which is a good thing. I just thought I would tell you to keep your head up. Some people take things for granted and don't realize that looks don't last forever. They could be in a fire or wreck and their looks may never be the same again. I'm actually starting to look at this condition as a blessing because there are much worse auto-immune disease out there such as Lupus. You are a pretty girl so keep your head up high and don't worry about what other people say. I'm just starting to take this advice myself. Sorry this was so long I don't know when to shut up lol.

- Hey Kaitlyn:
I enjoyed reading about you. I think you could really be an inspiration to many children. My daughter is 12 and has had AU for 3 years. Maybe we could stay in touch. Do you mind me asking why you are home bound?
