- Hello world! I'm 24 and italian. Sorry if my english is bad....
I started losing hair 3 years ago. Before then, I had waist-long, thick, brown, beautiful hair. I study middle eastern dance, so having long, sensual hair has always been important to me. Now I'm treating my andro-genic alopecia with minoxidil, my hair loss has slowed down even if I have some spots and I can't keep it as long as before. My mum is almost bald, my father as well (but it has never been a problem for him!), so I am not expecting miracles from this therapy. Psychologically, the beginning was devastating... I felt like I was losing the most beautiful thing I had, as well as my youth. Every day I was crying because I wanted my hair back. Now I feel like I'm grown a little older. I know there is no possible going back. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I think my hair is still beautiful, I am still beautiful. I learned to live with this issue, yet I haven't accepted it. I want to keep them long as long as I can, then I'll shave them.
Yet...Hey, hair is not the only thing I'm concerned about! I'm a student in Medicine, I love dancing and reading!
