- I am a mother of a 9 year old girl who suffers from alopecia totalis. She is such a beautiful girl but she is not ready to take a picture without wearing her wig. She has been missing all of her on her head, eyebrows and eyelashes for about 5 months now. If there are any resources or information that can help us to deal with this would be greatly appreciated. I believe God will restore all of her hair but until then I need help to help her deal with this condition.

Hello my name is Mary Alice and I have a daughter who has been recently diagnosed with AT /AU maybe. Doctors are not to sure yet. She has lost all of her hair on her head, she no longer has any eyelashes or eyebrows. She used to feel comfortable around us without her wig on but now she wants to wear the wig all the time. I don't really know what to say to her. I tell her she is beautiful and I love her no matter what. She does not like to talk about what is going on with her. She hasn't told… Continue

I also feel ugly sometimes but my mom always reminds me that I'm beautiful even though I don't always believe it, I try to take her word for it.
I'll talk to you soon. :)

- Hello and welcome, Mary!
I know how hard alopecia can be; I think sometimes it can be harder on the parents of alopecians than on the children themselves. I have had it for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women and girls were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" You can find out more on my page -- and it's available on this site under "Bookshelf." Your daughter might benefit from reading it...let me know if there's anything else I can do!

Cindy and Samantha said… - Hi Mary, my name is Cindy and my 7 yr old daughter has alopeica for 2 yrs now. Like your daughter she has no lashes or brows as well. We live in MA and she is doing a treatment that is working for her. Sam has always accepted her hair loss and does not see herself as being any different from the girl next door. She does everything that a typical 7 yr old does and does not let her lack of hair prevent her from stepping it out. It is so import that our daughter find a few close friends that she can share this with and feel like her self around. You will be amazed how many kids will be so sympathetic to her and want to be there to support her. We don't tell alot of people,but all of Sam's close friends know about it and have seen her bare. I did want to let you know about the Children's Alopeica Project if you have not found them yet. www.childrensalopeicaproject.com. I do a support group here in MA, but I do know there is one in NY that may not be too far for you. In Aug CAP is holding Alopeicapalooza. It is a weekend conference geared for the kids. It sounds like your daughter may benefit from going. You can also contact CAP to get on their database and they maybe a family in your area to connect with.
Samantha wears on her head headbands with hair sewn into them and she loves them. It maybe something of interest to your daughter. She loved them in the summer. www.hatswithhair.com. Also the hair club for men has a kids club. They gave 3 free hair replacements a year and 8 services. My daughter wears their wig as well as several girls on this site. You can find the contact info on their website. www.hairclub.com. I hope some of this info helps. I hope your daughter will begin to feel better soon..Cindy

Welcome to Alopecia World. I very much understand how you may be feeling at the moment.
My daughter lost her hair when she was 12 and is now 18. The years in between loss and now have been difficult, but inspiring. If I can ever be of any help, just pop in and leave me a message.
