I lost my hair when i found out i had a brain tumor when i was six, due to a double dose of radiation that killed my hair cells. I really came to terms that my hair wasn't growing back around 15 years old and the strans of hair on my head made no sense at all. I felt so happy when i shaved my strans of hair just dangling from scalp. Wigs are a lot mess and still are, i dont really have the confidence to go out in public bald so that's were wigs come in but i don't like it but i have no choice or i tie my head but my country doesn't really have much options colour wise and styles in head tie's or wigs so that's a struggle. Am 22 years of age now and happy with way i am wouldn't change anything just waiting on the confidence to go out in public just the way i am and probably my dream guy to love me the way i am lol.

As women, we are judged in SO many ways, because of our hair. It is long? Short? Perfectly kept? got split ends? Dyed? Is our style appropriate to our age. pigtails means a little girl, grey hair means old. It's one of the first measures people use to judge and categorize us, and we do it to ourselves too. So, with all of these influences, a huge part of our self image and self-esteem is tied up in our hair, as is also a lot of our self-doubt and insecurity. When we choose to let go of that, and we choose to buck the norm and accept ourself without perfect hair, and even without hair at all, it becomes tremendously liberating.

Can't for the life of me figure why you would take your wig off. Ok, so you have a disorder but does the world have to know? Maybe you like the attention, I don't know but I tell you this, if I had your condition I would have many beautiful wigs at my disposal, hair is a major part to a womans look. I don't want people staring at me because I look different, l love nice hair. I have very thin hair and I wear an extension to make it thicker. You looked beautiful in your wig, your pretty without it but so nice with it on. That's just my opinion but it is up to you what you want to wear. Blessings to you.

I remember asking a man why he had no hair, eyebrows or eye lashes. My mother was horrified at my impertinence. He smiled at me, smiled, and reassured my mother. He explained it to me. I actually dont remember his explanation, beyond, my interpretation, thats how God made him. But it was his kindness, openness, an understanding of my curiosity, that stuck with me. He wasnt offended. He wasnt embarrassed. His normal and kind response normalized his appearance to me. I appreciate him for that. You remind me of him, being willing, honest and open. Thank you.

This isn't just a journey about having hair or not, its a journey of accepting yourself. I identify so much with Kylie, for different reasons. Weight, hair physical appearance, as we grow up we try to match a standard and then for some of us there is a moment when we realize that the challenges we have faced have brought us gifts, gifts of courage, of truly knowing ourselves. It is hard to explain the comfort in your own skin until you have it: )

I think one of my friend's has alopecia. She wears a wig all the time and one time while we were talking her wig shifted a little bit and I saw a bald spot. Her eyebrows are also thinning and there are spots with no hair. I don't want to make her feel ashamed of it because it shouldn't be a shameful thing. I just want to know if anyone could give me any advice on bringing it up or if I should even bring it up.

My mom has alopecia and Ive never seen her without a wig. Shes not bald everywhere only in certain areas and when she is doing her hair Im not allowed to be in a room with her. She didnt have alopecia all my life but I dont really remember her not having a wig. I look back at pictures from ten years ago when we were on holiday and its all her real hair but I dont remember anything about it.

My mom has alopecia aerata, her front hair fell out and she has a little hair in the middle and the back of her head. Her hair has a really unique texture, no wig looks like it so she decided not to use a wig. I respect her decision and I really think she looks best this way. But my aunts always tell her to buy a wig instead of helping her to feel more secure and happy.

I have alopecia, I get bullied for it I have the type that grows back though. People like you make me feel like i'm pretty even if i'm not. Keep going and doing what you love. You know people in the comments will come at me for lying, i'm not. I don't know how to prove to you by just telling you. But I can relate to this so much. It almost made me cry.
