Going fast

Posted on January 8, 2010 at 5:04pm 10 Comments

It seemed like my AA was taking a vacation as I hadn't noticed any new bald patches for quite some time. And then BAM over the last week I've lost a LOT of hair. I woke up last Thursday with two partial eyebrows, so I shaved the rest. I have also lost a lot of body hair, which feels weird (I was pretty hairy). My clothes actually feel different. I am trying hard not to let this rule my life, but I have found myself leaving the house less. I'm single and unemployed and really don't want to fall… Continue

To wig or not to wig

Hey everyone,



Thanks for the warm welcome. This site is great even though I haven't posted until now, I've been checking the site out and it has been a valuable support and learning tool.

I was just diagnosed with AA at the end of August. Since last month I've kept my head shaved as there's not enough hair left to do anything with. I am really not used to or digging the bald look yet, especially since my hair is dark and my skin is white. Regardless of how close I shave, It… Continue

Thanks Drakes. My friends have been great. Lucky for me I'm past the age where superficial things like a strange appearance don't mean a whole lot among my peers. I can imagine if I were in my 20s or younger friends might stray or not want to hang out with me in public due to my looks. I was having lunch with a friend today who said. "A lot of guys go bald you just went balder, faster". I thought that was pretty funny and plan on using it regularly. @ Jeffery- I haven't delved too far into any groups yet. I will check them out.

I've had it since 93... mine went fast too .. 2 weeks pretty much.. in February too (-10 Celsius Degrees sucked).. Don't get too distressed.. it's something that's happened and you need to 'get up an deal with it' :) have a beer... chill out and think for a second -- having people not recognize you isn't such a bad thing :) Do you know how many people I've walked past without saying a cause they didn't recognize me? Think about the people that bugged you in the past :)

Seriously.. you'll find your comfort level.. mine is a cool Stingy Fedora (ska style) with black bug eyed sunglasses :) Take your time man.. hopefully you have some buddies who you can hang out with .. True buddies will stick by you. I was fortunate -- one of my buddies shaved his head too along with me.. We looked cool at pool halls etc.. :) I still do the same things I've always done.. now without hair.. snowboarding is a little colder.. I get sun burns on my head now when on the beach.. I have to Photoshop my pictures to remove the shine on my head from the camera flash :) As you can tell I joke about this kinda stuff... helps sometimes.. You're gonna save a lot of cash on hair cuts too (another benefit)... :)
