I have had Alopecia Areata when I was 14. The doctor said my Alopecia was from stress, but in actuality I had no stress... all I wanted to do was play stick ball and chase pretty girls. My parents took me to a doctor who gave me cortisone injections to my head, without any success. The Alopecia roamed about my head for a while, while receiving the injections. Eventually, my hair grew back by itself.
My second bout was when I was older, I noticed a white streak of hair growing at the back of my head. My dermatologist told me it was my Alopecia Areata growing in a gain... eventually my hair turned brown again.
At present I wear a hairpiece of my own design. Being a hairstylist for film, television and theater for 40 years, with the unforgiving eye of the camera, I saw the need to develop an undetectable product. Visit my website www.josephparis.com.
I am currently developing a website dedicated to Alopecia, which will be ready in the fall.
Hello Joseph, could you post some of your ideas on my blog "Wigology 101"? You have alot of knowledge and I'm sure there are those of us who would appreciate it. Thank you soooooo much!
Hi Mr. Paris how are you? i have met you at some of the NAAF confrences. I hope you are in good health. Hope to see you one day down here close to Fayetteville, NC.
Mr. Paris,
Do you have to go to New York to get one of your hairpieces? I live in New Mexico. I am very interested in your system after looking at your website. I'm scared to death on deciding what's the best hair piece to buy for me. My doctor told me that I shouldn't out and clips on my own hair because it will make it worse so what do I do?? I don't want to live life with my hair falling out either!! Right now, I can conceal it, but it is still shedding and I have no idea if it will ever stop. Please help!! Any advice or information on the system will help. Thanks, Melissa
