Hey everyone

I hope you are all well. I haven't been on here in a long time.

I felt it was important I wrote this blog to let you know how I have been and how my Alopecia Universalis has 'changed'.

Those of you who read my previous blog will know that I experienced my hair loss at quite a fast pace, literally within a few months I had gone from having a tiny bald patch at the top of my head, to having complete hair loss all over my body.

My last blog in 2010 spoke…

Hey all,

It's been a few months since I've been online so I thought I would log in here today. I have had AU since around March of this year but over the last few months, my hair has been growing back all over my body. My lashes, arm hair etc are all coming back. The hair on my head is coming back too but it is growing back in patches. I was wondering if any of you have experienced regrowth like this and if you have been able to keep your hair or if it has fallen out…

Hey all,

I was just wondering something and this might be a weird question, but has anyone experienced ingrown hairs where they have lost hair but gaining some regrowth? I have noticed a few marks on my skin and this is the only explanation I can think of.

Hey guys,



It's been a while since I've been on here but I have a few questions and was hoping to get some advice.



I am currently wearing monofilament wigs and am going to Seville in Spain for 4 weeks with work and it is due to be very hot. I was wondering if anyone has been to a hot climate and found wearing their wig to be uncomfortable? I have been wearing wigs since January this year and have experienced no discomfort so far and hoping things will stay like… Continue

Hey everyone,



I was wondering if someone could give me some information on false lashes. My eyelashes are starting to fall out and i wanted to know which false lashes are the best. Ideally I am looking for some that are able to stay on for a few days at a time, maybe longer. I'm not even sure if these exist? I am also wondering what wigs would be best if I wanted to wear my hair in a ponytail or something. I have monofilament wigs that I love but I can only wear them in a low… Continue

Hey everyone, I would really appreciate some advice here.



A few weeks ago I noticed a tiny gap in my eyelashes and I immediately knew that was going to be the start of them, as well as my eyebrows falling out. I have lost almost all of my hair on my head, but I still have some at the back. I haven't had any hairloss from my head in over a month so I am hoping this is a good sign. However, my eyebrows are really starting to thin. I'm not sure if I am going to lose my brows and lashes… Continue

This weekend has made me reflect on a lot of things. When my hair first started to fall out, the thing that seemed the most scary to me was meeting a guy and having to tell him about my alopecia. Then when I got my wig I gained a lot more confidence, and telling someone didn't seem so scary, in my mind. I have now lost 3/4's of my hair....the other quarter, which I was certain would have gone by now is still hanging in there. I have really come to terms with losing my hair and it's something…

Well, a lot has happened since my last blog post...so I thought I would write another one..this is a great way to keep track.

I went to my doctor who arranged for me to have blood tests. I got tested for diabetes, auto immune disorders, protein and iron deficiencies. I also got my thyroid checked plus a few other things. I had convinced myself this was all down to low protein in my body. Turns out I was wrong. All my tests came back normal. I guess I should have been relieved…

Well, this is the first time I have written a blog on here, but I figure it's a good way of getting things off my chest.



I first noticed a tiny bald patch about the size of a penny on the top of my head back in August and I started to panic. I went to the doctor and chatted with friends and they all told me not to worry as it was most likely stress. This made me feel a lot better. I was travelling to Canada for 7 weeks 2 days later for work, so I went and put the bald patch out of my… Continue
