<p>I haven't been on here for awhile, Sorry Kate, didn't see your message. I'm curious though, it's been a year since this discussion. How are you both getting on? My white regrowth has mostly been replaced by coloured hair. It's growing thicker everyday. Of course it's always in the back of my mind that it could happen all over again. It's been nearly 2 years since it all started. I didn't have any treatments, I figured I'd let nature take it's course. I'm still wearing wigs every day…</p>

Hoping I'll be brave enough to stop wearing them soon.</p>

<p>Well you sure look beautiful! With a face like that who needs hair! :) I think finding this site has really helped me alot! Talking to people like you and everyone else here has pushed me in the right direction. I'm so grateful for that! I actually went shopping last week without my trusty hat for the first time and it felt great! I would never have done that before I found this site. I'm hoping to get comfortable enough to wear my wig, i'm sure that will come in time.</p>

<p>oh i feel your pain. I think you will come to terms with it after a while. I was diagnosed with AA in Feb 2012 and bald by October 2012 and in like 2 weeks I lost my eyebrows. I felt more miserable during the losing my hair phase but now I'm ok. I've accepted it. It's not the worst situation. Once you try out different kinds of wigs and find oneyou like you'll be okay. And having family support really helps.</p>

Hi K!<br />
I got my wig at an outlet in Santa Ana, CA. Its a beautiful wig, real hair, I think it just made me feel less like myself. I've only wore it once but I've put it on several times and never ended up wearing it out because I was so self concious about it. I took a big step today though, I went shopping without a hat on for the first time! I wont even go get my mail without a hat and today I just decided I was tired of it. I got alot of stares but oh well right!?

<p>Hi Michelle,</p>
<p>I feel the same way as you do. Super comforted by this site and all the support that it offers. Just knowing there are other people in the world that are dealing with the same obstacles that you are can be such a great comfort. That being said - like so many others I lost my hair right around the same time frame as you and now I'm totally bald.

<p>Hi Michelle,</p>
<p>I feel the same way as you do. Super comforted by this site and all the support that it offers. Just knowing there are other people in the world that are dealing with the same obstacles that you are can be such a great comfort. That being said - like so many others I lost my hair right around the same time frame as you and now I'm totally bald. It took some time wearing a wig for sure, had to try a few different styles to see what I liked and disliked about each one. And to compare how they fit and made me feel. I found one from Rene of Paris that I like quite a bit. Where is yours from? What do you like or dislike about it?</p>
<p>So glad you have such a strong support network :) very iportant.</p>
