- About Me:
- I've had alopecia scenes I was born, only patches started to fall out and that was until I was 3 and then all my hair fell out. All through elementary school I hated the way I looked, I didn't understand why? my parents only told me what it was and nothing else, I had to learn the rest on my own. I always wore a hood or a hat cause I was tired people coming up to me wondering if i had Cancer or coming up to me and thinking I was a boy.
Surprisingly my hair started growing back in patches when I was in middle school cause they wouldn't let me wear a hat in school which was kind of good for me. when summer came along and I stared wear hats again my hair started falling out again.
When i started high school I was aloud to wear hat but I never took it off cause I was afraid of how my classmates would look at me.
My parents said they had wigs for me to wear when I was young but I didn't want to wear them because they made my head itch, plus I my friends said they couldn't see me with hair, they liked me the way i am and it makes me who I am today, I'm more lively, more talkative with my classmates.
I still wish i had hair but I think if my life would still be the same? would I have the same friends? and the same interest? but I'm happy the way I am.
Today I have tuns of friends who are always there for me, I love to draw anime, I'm kind of a nerd, I hope to be in animation business when i get older or a writer, try to get my story's out there.
I started wearing a wig with at the beginning of my junior year, and i feel so different (in a good way) i feel pretty, beautiful, but i knew i already was before i wore a wig. Guys come up to me now and they talk to me and flirt with me, which is different cause this never happens to me. I wear make-up now and i wear girls clothes cause now i think i look good in them, which i've always wanted to do, i've always wanted to feel girly and i've never felt that way before until now
when I found this site and other and about the women who were doing this and telling people about and understood i was going through I felt hopeful and good about myself and I'm just glad to be apart of this now.

Lois said… - Hey Kelsey ~ I love that dapply/squishy/batiky looking soft velour hat on you - you really look at one with it you know? Your demeanor and self~assurance comes through in your pics and have to mention that you could pass incredibly easily as the twin of a niece of mine (who is very strong willed/independent/listens to her own drummer). Hope you're having a good Thanksgiving break and like the deep blue-butterfly tips on the top border of this page. :D

As a young person who has had Alopecia totalis my entire life I struggle daily with this. I have been with my husband for 20 years and till this day he has never seen me with out my wig on or some sort of handkerchief I wear to bed. Someday I can be strong and no issues about going in public or my family for that matter with out anything on my head. You give me strength. Thank you.
