I haven't been on here in so long, but since I have, I've come a long way with the acceptance of my alopecia. I'm in a much better place, even though it still sucks at times...

I got married last September :) and had a beautiful custom made wig for my wedding. I loved it! I wanted long hair and the guy I go to charged me approx $1250! I know , that's alot of money :( but it was a full cap (and I don't have to wear any tape, which I love, because I HATE using the tape!) I previously…

I just purchased my second wig but this time from a full service salon. My previous wig was purchased at a place that only sold wigs and I didn't even feel like I had to tip when making my purchase (wouldn't have wanted to anyway caused I felt rushed and as though they were forcing styles on me not to my liking.)

Well, I haven't been on here for the longest time, but I find myself needing more support right now since I am very close to losing all of my hair. For a while, I had been experiencing so much regrowth that I was becoming very hopeful that this "worst case" of alopecia was over.

Well, at this event, a ton of people I haven't seen in a while (before my wig) were there. Many people I know have been saying over the past couple months how they like my new hair cut and when did I decide to cut it all off, and so on and so on. (I hate these questions – but my hair is so different now from what it… Continue

Hi Everyone - I've had severe AA for roughly the past 2 years now. I just recently purchased my first wig in March 2010 since I was no longer able to cover up my bald spots, and I was tired of getting painful shots into my scalp. All the while, my future mother-in-law always added her 2 cents and thought she was a doctor by saying I don't eat enough meat, eggs, so on and so on. She even made an exercise comment. I definitely consider myself a healthy eater for the most part. I love fruits and… Continue
