How was middle for you dealing with Alopecia? And if children picked on you what would you like to say to them today?

A little about me :)

Well I was born with alopecia totalis. I've been made fun of, called a guy, called names, a lot just because I have no hair. Everyone here actually knows how I feel which makes me feel good. My name is Sam and I'm a girl and I'm 14 years old. It's been hard to go through everything but the one this that we all love...not shaving. :) anyway, just curious to see if there's anyone close to my age that kinda knows what I'm going through. I'm not on the site a lot, but wanted to make a friend or two… Continue

Tonight Show w/Jay Leno makes insulting remarks towards alopecia

Last night on Jay Leno he did a bit about why products at the 99 cent store might be 99 cents. In this segment he shows a "fashion doll", somewhat like a Barbie, and after he opened it, showed why it was only 99 cents. The doll only had long hair around its head and none in the center.

He joked perhaps one could do a comb over ala Donald Trump; the usual yuks.…

Outrageous alopecia "joke" by Jay Leno on Tonight Show. Anybody else want to write to NBC?

Last night on Jay Leno he did a bit about why products at the 99 cent store might be 99 cents. He showed a "fashion doll", somewhat like a Barbie, and after he opened it, showed why it was only 99 cents.

The doll only had long hair around the outline of its scalp, and was otherwise bald. He joked perhaps one could do a Donald Trump comb over...the usual yuks.

Then he stated "Maybe its an Alopecia doll I don't know".

I found this incredibly insensitive and insulting. I…

Eyebrows and eyelashes

Hi!
I've had AA since I was six but recently I've started losing hair all over my body, including my eyelashes and eyebrows. You can't really notice that my eyelashes are falling yet, I think, and I use eyeshadow to fill in my eyebrows but I'm scared it's going to get worse and won't know what to do... What do those of you who have no eyebrows or eyelashes do to conceal this hair loss? I would love to get some advice :) Thank you!

The Bald Bride: My Alopecia Story - Part 2

I went to work that fateful morning in a daze. My mind just repeated itself over and over again. “What is going on?” I had no idea where my hair had gone or why it fell out so quickly.

I didn’t see any excessive clumps of hair on my pillow. Didn’t notice any unusual large amounts in the drain after my shower. Although I did note that I had noticed more hair than usual in the drain for the last few months. But with as much hair as I had, I didn’t think anything of it until…
