Alopecia Areata - Be brave
"This was so beautiful it made me cry. You are very brave, I wish you all the best xx"
"I agree with Lili. I lost my hair 4 different times in 5 yrs and i always wore my wig when it fell out and then when my own grew back i enjoyed it. Now, i have none since last August 2011 and i would give anything to have my hair back even if i knew…"
"It's going great, so much more comfortable! i'm going on a camp this weekend and it feels so great to not have to worry about the hassle of my wig :)"
"how did it go? i've been hairless. wigless and hatless for a few months now. it will grow back gorgeous for you and you will soon notice how strong this experience will make you (="
ShoCorona commented on laura's blog post So scared about going wigless!"Hi Laura..... you look fab in your profile pic and I think you will totally be fine when you go out without your wig :) If anybody asks, you tell them you've just gone for a new look :) and if the hair starts falling out again, YOU will notice…"
"Thanks guys, you've really made this transition a lot more comfortable for me. Thanks for all your support! Laura xx"
Mary commented on laura's blog post So scared about going wigless!"I guess my decision was made easier by the fact that once my hair started coming out to the point I couldn't hide the bald spots, it very quickly went to total head, then total body (universalis). Having no hair, I had to choose between being…"
So scared about going wigless!
Tomorrow I've decided that I'm going to transition from my beautiful long curly wig to my short dark straight hair that has been slowly growing back over the last few months. I'm so scared. I hope to think that this is the end of it all (my dermatologist has said my recovery was good) but what if it comes back? It was easy enough to transition to a wig as nobody noticed, but I'm so worried the hair I have now will fall out then I wouldn't know what to do! It would be embarrasing for me to have…See More
Donna Kooken commented on laura's blog post So scared about going wigless!"Go for it! You are you! Be your best! NOW!!!. I have wigs.. they all are about the same color ,,....I cant wear long wigs I look like a "Bank Robber". My wigs are not Human Hair, so I stay away from the oven during Turkey time. If it is…"
Molly commented on laura's blog post So scared about going wigless!"Hi Laura, I think your photo is lovely and you'll rock a short straight style! think Emma Watson! All right, she's like - 20 - but so what! You look beautiful! go for it!"
"Thank you guys so much. I'm all dolled up and ready to face my first day without my wig and you've given me great confidence, I feel like this is a new start and I'm finally truly accepting who I am :)"
Lili Añel (aka Eulalia) commented on laura's blog post So scared about going wigless!"Why would it be embarrassing if you lost your hair? You have alopecia. Unfortunately this disease knows no rhyme-or-reason. Your hair can grow back and stay; your hair can grow back and go the next week; your hair could never grow back. I've…"
