It's Hair Loss Support At Its Best™
Been bald for half a year now
Well, it's been a while since I last blogged. Last September I decided to shave my head as my hair loss showed no indication of slowing down, or growing back. It was the best thing I have ever done, and I don't look back. I have a new man in my life who has shown me nothing but love and respect. I have great friends around that support me and actually prefer me bald hahaha. I have just recently uploaded the videos I had taken with a group of friends on the night of the shave. We all celebrated with a massive bottle of Moet and strawberries, my new man Nick insisted that we make a big deal out of it. I love him with all my heart. I only wear wigs to work, as I'm in the beauty industry, not because I don't feel comfortable without a wig, but because I feel I won't be able to do my job as well as I could without one. When I'm not at work, I seldom wear a wig. I don't fear people judging me or staring at me, more often than not I get lots of curious questions, and this I LOVE. I love being able to spread awareness, and people respect my absolute confidence strutting about without hair.
It was not an easy thing, coming to terms with my Alopecia. It was DAMN hard. A rollercoaster of depression, anxiety, and all those things. But 6 months later after the shave, I feel that this is the new me. I love being able to change my look with a simple wig, or no wig. I love that not even once have I ever felt negativity from anyone because of my condition. I'm pleasantly suprised.

Wonderful, Andrea. You're doing great. Hang in there on the rollercoaster. It's been two years since I shaved my head, and this is who I am now.

Brandy, I hope that someday women won't feel we have to hide our bald heads. Guys don't. Why should we? Join the National Bald Out Group and give it a try on July 17. It might change your life. Mary
