New Wig
Posted on March 22, 2010 at 7:22pm 9 Comments 0 Favorites
Hey everyone,
I bought a new wig today and I really want to wear it to work tomorrow. It is similar in style to my old one but it is two inches longer. I was planning on saying that I got my hair layered and everything. Do you think people will notice the length difference? If anyone can let me know by tomorrow what you think that would be great!! Thanks!!

Hi everyone...
I have a question about those who lost their eye lashes and eye brows. When you lost them did you lose them all at once or was it gradual? Could you tell you were losing them? Also, when you started to lose them did you have any hair on your head or any fuzz where hair growing in? Once you lost your eye lashes and eye brows did they ever grow back? The reason why I am asking this is because I have AA since I was four and only hair on my head. The other day I noticed some… Continue

I have had Alopecia Areata since I was four years old and have done everything I can think of to hide it from others. I would often times style my hair put on so much hair spray to keep in place.. making sure that no one can see my spots. It worked when I was younger but as I got older the spots got bigger and were not growing anything. I got my first wig when I was 15 and it was really hard to except, but once again I did everything I could to ensure my secret was kept. Only family and close… Continue
