Girl grows her hair back!

Hi everyone,



I live in Australia, and one of our current affairs programs tonight, had this story about a 9 year old girl, with Alopecia Totalis Universalis who has had success with growing her hair back after 3 years of no hair. It may not work for everyone, as they state in the article, but if just one person could benefit then it is all worthwhile. Here is the link to the article:… Continue

New style

so since I got a new hair piece on NHS (£158, compared with the £400 one I had last year that my parents paid for). The old one was looking a bit outdated so I got a fringe put in it, but the girl at the salon had to cut a small fringe into my own hair to thicken it up and make it look more natural.



I love the look but its making my head so greasy and hot, and im worried the front clip will make my hairline really thin. Its a pain because before i was tying my hair up all the time to… Continue

Seasonal alopecia?

Hi friends! I have a totally random thought. Has anyone noticed any connection with hair loss and seasons? I have a few patches right now and noticed that this is the 3rd fall in a row that this has happened. It seems that I only lose hair in the fall. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I crazy? :)

I love you just the way you are!

Finally, I was sitting at home and my daughter said, “Mommy you don’t have to come to my school with a hat on or a scarf. I love you just the way you are.” WHAT?!?! I said okay, had a long day and I knew she would NEVER EVER want me to be bald around her school. The next morning I get on the bus and train bald. I am getting off the train I say are you sure you want me to be bald around your school?



I pulled my hat out of my pocket to see if she would like me to put it on. She said NO… Continue

When filing a claim for alopecia...hoping this helps others!

Today was supposed to be my next injection treatment, but since the insurance company denied my treatments, calling them "cosmetic surgery" I am on hold with them (the insurance company). I feel like I could swallow my own throat, my panic attacks have been through the roof since dealing with this insurance stuff. I don't know if I can take any more. I have spoken to the lady at my dermatologist's office twice, and gotten nowhere with her...she is a hateful lady, and obvious she does her… Continue

Conventional beauty standards be damned!

Sometimes I feel like shaving my head just out of spite!



Yeah, I have cicatricial alopecia that has left some interesting "spaces" in my TWA, so I guess I have a good enough "reason" to shave, but I don't really need to yet.



What really gets me going is the experiences that ladies here are sharing. What gives anyone the right to denigrate a person for something they have ABSOLUTELY no control over? The hurt that has been experienced over this is maddening to… Continue
