Therefore, we are looking for photos that we can share on Alopecia World's Instagram Page.

If you have a cool photo that we can use, please post it here with your IG handle so that we can link it back to your account.…

"Models removed their wigs to embrace their hairlessness to pose in a photoshoot which raises awareness of the condition."

Excerpts from an article on Metro.co.uk:

"Photographer Chrissy Sparks, 35, from Birmingham, has photographed thousands of women, of all shapes and sizes, since opening…

""Bald is beautiful" isn't just a motto for one Gilbert Middle School student— it's a lifestyle."

I recently came across this article on wxlt.com that I thought I would share with the community.

"Gracie Ann Roland was diagnosed with alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss from some or all areas of the body, a year ago."

"Rather than letting her…

It amazes me how many people share their stories and triumphs about their alopecia.  I recently found another one that I think the community would benefit from.

Sasha mother wrote me and said:

Some of my most liberated sexual experiences have come from owning my beauty as a bald woman and partnering with people who appreciate how much I appreciate myself. Honestly, I think I learned to love myself more by the blessing of my current boyfriend who first offered to shave my head for me and then teach me how to do it myself. It's quite a special feeling for him to rub my head, especially when I'm sad…or when he's just adoring me.

I definitely don't let just anyone touch my…

Some day,

We'll stop looking for the answers,

And maybe,

Wear our hearts out on our sleeves,

But it's hard to make them see, and—

Just look at who are we,

Don't judge us as you please, we aren't weak,

Oh no.

And the dreams we sew,

We'll start to move mountains—

The world will be in the know,

And the more we grow—

The more they will see us, and greet us

We'll…

For that matter, am I brave?

People seem to think I am. But in all honesty I don't know that I'm any different from the next person who just doesn't let things stop them. Especially the things that may seem impossible from the onset.

Maybe it's Faith - Faith in the knowledge that things just have a way of working out in the end.

But, for all my seeming to be strong and comfortable in my skin, I do have a few concerns. One in particular is me trying to wrap my head around…

“It’s a wig!” I’m all too happy to tell you this upon our first meeting. I really don’t mind informing you of that whatsoever. I’ve always felt a bit like I’m a made-up, false Hollywood façade. You know the kind of fake building facades that you might find on a Hollywood Studio backlot? Wearing a wig and being complimented on my hair makes me feel like this.

But I’ve jumped way ahead. So, let me back up a bit…

To begin, I was diagnosed with Androgenetic Alopecia nearly 13 years…

Hey everyone! I've had alopecia for about 10 years and have tried every thing... literally everything. I've done laser, creams, injections, shampoos, but nothing really seemed to help me. My hair fell out almost like the seasons my dad always says. The spring and summer my hair always grew in and in the winter and fall alot of my hair fell out. So, I've been using squaric acid. The acid isn't FDA approved yet, but me and my dermotolgist said its worth a shot. So between 4-5 months mostly all…

If there is one belief that I would really like to see us alopecian challenge, is when we start referring to our inner beauty as if our outer beauty couldn’t exist anymore.



I think that the thing that brings me the most joy is when an alopecian can truly start to see their beauty again. But, over and over again, I see us making comments like, “it’s our inner beauty, not our outer beauty that counts”, as if we have forfeit our rights to be beautiful the moment we lost our…

At the end of my meal, the waitress says with a big smile, "Take off that hat!" I'm not sure why I chose to wear a hat today, but her statement was a pleasant surprise.



I have chosen to "live bald". No wigs and occasional hats. When I first lost all my hair, I wondered what strangers thought of my choice to go bald--can she not afford a wig or she must be really sick. But now I am so comfortable being bald and sharing my life with alopecia.



My encounter with the…
