Hi all. As you can see from Pauls blogs under NZ Support, him and I are in the process of trying to set up support meetings, hopefully a website and info to the medical profession. To get things rolling I have setup a new email address…
I am from New Zealand and have had AU 8 years. After a couple of small patches, I got AU 4 months before my wedding - now that was challenging. All was well though and I got married as a blond. Since then I have had lots of fun with red, black, blond wigs - there are some advantages!
I am fine with not having hair and have certainly learned to get around it. I have my wig at work look, and my natural at home and with friends look. It has certainly never stopped me doing lots of things I love like scuba diving and skiing, just means that the head gets a little colder.
In recent years I have done permanent makeup on my eyebrows and eyeliner which I really love. I have found that it has really made me look better especially, especially as I am so fair.
I have actually never meet or really spoken to anyone with Alopecia, and this is the first time I have seen so many beautiful looking Alopecia people. You all look great!

Do you mind if I pass your contact information on to the other lady and her son. Then you guys can discuss meetings etc. You will like her (she's lovely) bit like you lol.
Let me know if that is ok.
You know I will always support and be there to help anything with regards to supporting those with alopecia.
Hi Kath, I was just wondering if you used any meds when you first started getting patches? Also, how long did it take for hair to regrow, and fall out again?
Hi Kath, Thank you or your response..I am in such a rut I just dont know what to do or where to turn..I am truly trying my best to cope with this the best I can..Thank you for the kind words..
Yes, I am currently looking after a 7 year old little boy who would love to meet others. His mum is very keen to start a support group for people in NZ (Lovely lady). Pass my info on to the mum and ask her to give me a call then I will pass on all she needs.
Hi Kath,
Thanks so much for the comment - I don't get up to Auckland all that often but would be tempted! I've found the Freedom wig difficult in terms of styling and colouring - the lady I went to here is not happy with colouring it and my experience at a regular salon has put me off going that way again!
You look so good in your photos :)
Hi Kath, thanks for introducing yourself. Yes it would be nice to meet up sometime, or get to know other kids with Alopecia in Auckland. This site is great when I feel a little sad about his hair loss, as I don't feel like he is the only one going through it.
