Dilemma

After shaving what little was left of my hair off 4 months ago I have had some regrowth, some of it is growing back in really nicely but it is quite patchy and looks awful. For this summer I am in a marching band and there is no way that I will be able to wear a wig, we have cowboy hats but often during warm ups and rehearsals we do not wear these leaving me with nothing to wear on my head during these moments, in it's patchy awfulness I can't bear the thought of going without a wig or a hat,…See More

"Thank you all so much for your support. Though it is quite a change from what I am use to life still goes on, it doesn't stop just because you lose all of your hair. I have not gone wigless or hatless quite yet but the day will come when I have…"

"Life does not stop because you lose your hair but life as you experienced it does, and that is an emotional turmoil that noone wants to go through. My partner went through the agony of losing her hair and I watched her pain and was in many ways…"

Trying to stay strong

I am 20 years old and have had alopecia areata since I was 4 years old. It never really affected me all that much until about 6 months ago, when the spots became harder and harder to cover with my existing hair, and more and more hair was falling out. I am currently almost bald, I have a few synthetic wigs but they are so itchy I would rather wear a hat. In less than a week I am shaving off what is left of my hair and getting a real hair wig. I know that I barely have any hair left but the idea…See More
