Hi Katina. I am new to the website and to alopecia. I'm on here because my 10 year old daughter was recently diagosed with androgenic alopecia. Her hair is very thin on top. I am wondering about your experience with alopecia as I noticed that…
I'm 18 years old and bald.
I rather be bald than to have my thinning, awful, and ugly looking hair.
(Wigs are much more nicer and I get loads of compliments).
I've been losing hair since I hit puberty and I believe someone else in my family (a female) lost her hair too. It has been a long battle trying to make my hair grow back and for it to look thick, but nothing has worked, so I have given up. (It's not a bad thing because I'm actually excited to shave all my hair off). My boyfriend has the hair of the relationship and I bet he's proud. I try to look at the positives now of losing my hair, especially the wigs.
I have been recently diagnosed with female pattern baldness.
Other things about me:
I have seizures- Complex Partial Seizures
(I've had this problem along with hair loss since I hit puberty, around 10-11 years old)
I have three fake teeth
I have a slip disc and spine fracture (no surgery, thank goodness)
I'm a very proud vegan and it does not contribute to my hair loss!
Being vegan would of tributed to very shiny, thick, curly hair...
Hi Katina. I am new to the website and to alopecia. I'm on here because my 10 year old daughter was recently diagosed with androgenic alopecia. Her hair is very thin on top. I am wondering about your experience with alopecia as I noticed that you said it started for you when you were about 10-11. Did you even realize what was happening? So far, it does not seem to phase my daughter too much. Did you ever try minoxidil? Our doctor recommended it for her but I don't know what's best.
Hey, I'm sorry I took so long. Every time I get on here I get interrupted. I can relate though, most of what you said goes for me too except apparently I'm not anemic anymore. I really like your blue wig, I was planning on getting a deep purple one, the one i want is cosplayish but I still really like it haha
Hope you're doing well =)
Love the blue wig...my fav would be purple...you are young enough to wear all that cool stuff...always used to want a purple wig. I just have blonde wigs mostly. I see the Tiffany comment...about being tired of watching her hair fall out...I can relate...payback for never liking my own hair maybe?? I would give anything to have all my hair again, baby fine and straight as ever..You don't know what you've got....till it is almost gone..
