Hey emma!
I'm really pleased your willing to take part! If you want to email me your phone number - on alwayz_bhappy@hotmail.com. We can schedule in a time for the interview - its more like an informal chat, but if there is anything you dont want to talk about, dont worry we will just move on.

Thanks emma!
looking forward to hearing from you soon!
love sophie x

Hey there Emma,
my mum was diagnosed with alopecia last year, and unfortunately she dealt with it quite badly. As a result when it came to doing my dissertation at uni, I thought looking into the affects hair loss has in women would be an interesting eye opening topic to research. I however need to carry out some interviews with women in the UK suffering from alopecia, so if you would be willing to take part let me know, if not no problem.

Thanks a mill!

Doing pretty good. How're you?

Hey Em,
Long time yes indeed. I love your photos. My hair is falling out again all over the place. Going to go for the shave soon. It's driving me mad. Checking out some wigs this weekend. How are you? Any luck with re-growth without treatments? Hope my eyelashes and brows don't go...although, would love to have no arm hair! Talk to you soon!

Hi Emma, yes there a few Mancunians on this web site, we will all have to arrange a big meet up one day!

helloooo......Im ok....I dont really know how i feel, Ive had short hair for about 10 years and have always spent time spiking it and things. when i got told I have aa, i just had it all cut shorter so it'd be less noticable! I have a patch at the back of my head simular to one of your pics and my hair is receding and getting thinner, It gets to me that there is no way of knowing wether its going to come back or all go, its mad! how did you cover yours when it first started or did you just have it all shaved off?? I wear hats and scarfs when i go out, which make me feel alot more comfortable. :-)

actually its not really aa its a bit compicated to explain but at the end of the day its like the common form of androgenetic alopecia in men now that i cum to think about it it iz aa lol anywayits about 5 years now wat about u n how do u cope wit it? stef

thanx emma hope u r doin fine speak to u soon stef

Hey Em,
Sorry I've been so quiet lately. I love your photos and you are so beautiful. I admire your courage. So what is it like with a clean head? Is it freeing? Lot's of happened over the holidays just getting back into the swing of things. I was just finished a production of the vagina monologues so its been stressful yet empowering. My hair grew back nice and full but when stress hits it falls out in a different spot. So now I am back to that devil woman who calls herself a dermatologist. *SIGH* its never ending! Whats new and exciting in your world?

Yeah Emma the only time anyone really gets upset for me is older women,,We live in a very tolerant area part time<( Long Beach )half the women there are bald by choice or have VERY short hair so I dont stand out, just one of the gals

Welcome, Emma! Your story is much like mine...my first spot was last June and I shaved my head about a week ago. I feel empowered as you do by not fretting over hair loss, but taking control of the razor! Good for you!

welcome to sisterhood of us gals with No hair .. you save alot on shampoo cream rinse, dyes,,haircuts.. buy a great outfit

my doctor, said there was nothing that could be done, but that was when i only had a couple of patches and i had goon to see him about something eles, so might try him again. what was the cream you mentioned ?

Hi emma, thx for the msg. good to see some pic of people haveing a laugh. Ben

you are brave! and still beautiful with your pixie cut! i could NOT pull that off - PRETTY!
