Last night I went on my first date with a wig on. I was nervous and a little self concious, but it was fun and I felt comfortable pretty quick. Im not sure what will happen with this one, but at least now I know that my alopecia is not necessarily a roadblock to finding someone. I can meet people and date and be confident and that's a huge step for me. Every little step I take is another sign that my alopecia is not a death sentence. I can still do everything I wanted to do, and I can do it in a wig.

I am so happy for you and you are another example of how this hairloss thing may suck at times but it doesnt stop you from living life. I work in the hospital and even though sometimes i cry about my hair, i have to thank god i am not going thru some of the things that i come across at my job. I hope all goes well and have fun :o)

Wow that is awesome! Thanks for sharing :) I really feel like people are more attracted to the confidence that others' exude - that is where true beauty lies, not in the shallow outer shell. Keep on smiling!!

Thanks for sharing. I purchased expensive,beautiful wig 3mo ago mainly because Chicago winters are so cold and I had not yet experienced one since shaving my head. I noticed the different reactions especially from men that I received. They all loved it but how I feel is of greater importance to me. I prefer my bald look! It's edgy, sensuous and a powerful statement of self confidence. I feel beautiful with my new bald look but as you all know, some days acceptance is challenging. I could share more but let me just say, this life altering transformation has helped me to think less of what people think of me and boosted my self confidence to the stratusphere! Kalilah
