The wig ponytail

I know I can't be the only one who misses ponytails. Normally, wigs and ponytails just look rediculous. But- here's my solution to the wig ponytail...…

Natalies Story..

Hi, am Natalie i am new to this, never used anything like this before so not sure what it will be like. I am 14 years old, and i was diagnosed with Alopecia when i was 10, my first signs were; the usual bald patch the size of a 50pence piece on the back of my head. Then the patch started to get larger i was none the wiser and didn’t think anything of this i thought i had just pulled out by accident or something. But it did start to spread to the whole underside of my head, so i decided to… Continue

Just want to give you all a update...Went back to see the dermatologist. Located in Madison Wisconsin, supposedly the best we have in Wisconsin. 2 residents came in to see me before the doctor came in. The dermatologist was in and out in less then 5 mins. I told her that the 2 bald patches have gotten bigger and I have pain and itching, also the patches that she had injected 6 weeks ago now have sunk in and still no hair growth! She told me the reason that my scalp has sunk in was due to the… Continue

My hair is coming back

My name is John and I've had AA for almost 2 years now. I lost 75% of the hair on my head, all my eyebrows, facial hair, eyelashes and even my nose hair (I really didn't complain about that). I took the injections in the effected areas and applied the foam and creams my dermatologist had suggested but nothing worked...not even a little bit. I stopped doing anything about it for about 8 months assuming that nothing was going to work. After all my eyelashes fell out I decided to see another… Continue

Looking for support

I really hope to find people that I can talk to about alopecia. I am newly diagnosed and I dont know what to expect other than hair loss. Why does it happen? What are the chances of losing all of my hair? If there is anyone out there that is willing to take some time to help me out, I would really appreciate it. I am alone and dont really have anyone that can relate to me.

Thank you so much!

Julie

My Introduction to Alopecia

In December, 2006 my daughter, Rachel, was wearing her hair up in a ponytail and a friend asked her what that bald spot was. The spot was about the size of a quarter. We took her to a pediatrician who told us not to worry about it...it would grow back.



By February, the bottom half of her head in the back was bald. We took her to a dermatologist, who broke the news to us that she had AA. I was devastated. All of my hopes and dreams for her felt like they were smashed to tiny pieces.… Continue

Other People

I"m a fairly stubborn, also resilient person. I've seen people suffer, seen people go through pain and seen people bury loved ones. Heck, i've gone to friends' funerals, at 22 years of age. I have seen people from school end up paraplegics, seen kids i have looked after get limbs amputated because of cancer tumors. I've always been a fairly philosophical, realistic person, however these experiences have always made me grown up more, and have always made me see truth in my realistic views of the… Continue
