How do you get a closer shave?
Posted on June 2, 2008 at 9:39pm 5 Comments 0 Favorites
I have (had?) dark hair and very light skin.
My AA patches are many and they are big, so I've taken to shaving my head, but I don't like the look of dark stubble in the places where I do have hair?
Are there tricks to getting a closer shave?
I tried nair once, but ended up with an icky rash, I guess my skin was too sensitive.
Help?

Frustrated
Posted on May 6, 2008 at 11:45am 8 Comments 0 Favorites
I've been recently (within the last 6 months) been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. What I find frustrating is that my bald patches are so big I've given up and have shaved off my hair, but I still get random stubble patches.
I feel like if I'm not going to have hair, I'd rather just stop getting these patches of hair/no hair. I want my head to make up it's mind. I feel like I'm in hair limbo.
*sigh*

Your head looks like my head... light skin, dark patches. If you find something that'll get a closer shave, please share! I too am in hair limbo.. and i'm trying to just be. Hang in there!

Mary said… - I just posted a notice about upcoming events in San Diego and Irvine. Do you live anywhere nearby? I'd love to meet some other AW members.
I hope your stubble problem has improved. After I shaved my head in January 08, it was only a few months before it was all gone and I didn't have to shave anymore. I understand how you feel...once I shaved, I just wanted it all to be gone (well, not my eyebrows and lashes, but they went, too.)
Best,
Mary

- Hi Heathen!
It's all so frustrating. Ugh.
I've had AA for nearly 30 years. I wrote a book for women -- it's a great book, just out! Called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!"
Take care...
