Thanks for the friend request, Christy!! Life is going great even with alopecia. It's just a part of my life, most of the time I even forget that I have it. Of course, unless it's really windy. (; I hope all is going well for you too. Take care..

Hi Christy,

Thanks for the friend request. I don't get on here very often anymore because I'm still in denial after 16 years of this balding process. I am completely bald now in fact my head looks a lot like yours only my fine hairs are completely white. Even when I first started losing my hair and new little growths grew back they were white. Part of it they say. Good to see your dark hair! Love your cute, stylish wig!!
You just inspired me to get on here more often and communicate with people who know exactly what I am going through. Have a great week!

Hi Christy, thanks so much for the friend request. Yes, I am doing well, hope you are too. I've just been overwhelmed picking out wigs and headcovers and learning so much about hair loss.

That's great if the NAAF leader in Indianapolis is doing something. If so, I hope they take some pics and have a blast.

Welcome to the International Alopecia Day Group, Christy! In answer to your question, to be involved, all someone has to do is something to commemorate the Day, wherever they live. You can organize a group or small meeting through posting a discussion about your city on the International Alopecia Day Group. The time is a bit short for that this year, though.

Some people have a photo of themselves taken and send me that and I include it in my slide show. ( Watch last year's video to see what I mean.) Other people organize a small picnic, walk, social gathering, with friends including others who have hair loss. It can be a very small gathering, or a big event.

The idea is to have fun and to let people know about Alopecia Areata and hair loss. Someone with Female Pattern Baldness like yourself is welcome.

My original idea was for ONE day when people who hadn't tried going out in public bald would do that - sort of a coming out day, and a chance to take that first step. That idea is still part of IAD, but now it's about simply celebrating and raising awareness. (You can be wearing a wig - being wigless is optional, but that's awesome if you do.)

I have the same problem here. No really local support groups. I'm not in a position at the moment to be able to travel 2 hrs for one...even if i wanted to. That's a loooong drive! I keep watch though. For now AW will have to do; and, i love it here anyway :)

Hello Christy!
I am so happy to have a friend with the same baldness problem as i have. I know it sounds silly here, even prejudicial, but I was beginning to think that only women who have other forms of alopecia were allowed on sites like this. I'm set straight now though :)
I think i need to post a few more pics so it's visible what the rest of my hair loss looks like. I am looking at your pics and thinking "wow, i wish i looked that good with my hair shaved down!" You really look great!
I am adjusting bit by bit and hope to leave the bandanas and hats home at some point. Just shaving my head down to about 1/2 inch has done my attitude wonders. At home i never wear anything to cover my head - of course living alone makes that easy:) But i don't usually wear it riding in the car either. It's such a free feeling; i love it.
I'm so thankful for this site, and now your friendship. I see very few women with hair loss where i live. So coming here gives me a boost when i'm feeling down.
Hope to hear from you!

Hi Christy, I'm wearing my usual curly wig in my profile picture. I have been wearing a straight one for the past week. I'm able to sweep it up into a french roll and keep it off my neck. Works well with the triple degree heat here. You are so right about using this as an opportunity to educate people when they ask about your hair. Most of the people I talk to have never even heard of Alopecia.

Hi Christy,
Thanks for the lovely email.
Believe me, it took a while to find the right wig.
In regards to picking colours, I ended up buying the colour rings from Vogue wigs so I could see the colours that suited me without having to guess from the computer screen...
Each designer has a colour ring so it's best to buy each one (that you're interested in) as each designer seems to have slightly different shades.

Please feel free to contact m anytime to chat ect...

My email address is lisamolesworth@hotmail.com

Kind Regards,

Lisa x

Hi Christy,

Yes, that's Me!
Thank you so much for looking me up.
What would you like to know about the Jennifer wig?
The "Jenifer" human hair wig was actually the first human hair wig I have purchased. I absolutely loved it when I first purchased it but once it got wet in the rain; it went fuzzy and unmanageable.I tried to straighten it with a straightening (GHD) iron but it never went back to the soft luxurious texture :-(
So I have not worn it since...so that's almost $1,000 wasted...
I've since gone back to wearing my Jon Renau "Alia" that I LOVE and now have 5 of them.
The synthetics last longer and never go out of shape. They may get a bit knotty at the nape but so does real hair wigs, this can be brushed out. The other alternative is to cut some hair off at the nape of the neck so this doesn't happen.
I'm happy to chat anytime.
xxx Lisa
