I have spent a good part of the last year living in Brazil and found that people stared at me a lot less when I wear a hat. Of course since I am a gringa, I constantly get stared at, but at least with a hat they don't seem to stare at me as long. I have the spotty kind all over my body, and do wish it would just all fall out...but what can you do. Hang in there for the folks with the new diagnoses, it does get easier over time. -Apple Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:27:00 GMT http://baldwomenplus.tribe.net/thread/6fb34d99-b9d4-4755-a3c4-38bf6e8c1f35#c4f943b6-ccb5-454f-9967-463dda6cbab0 Apple 2007-07-16T22:27:00Z http://baldwomenplus.tribe.net/thread/6fb34d99-b9d4-4755-a3c4-38bf6e8c1f35#5fbda4d6-27fa-486d-b6b5-487df69e6c91 i was diagnosed 2 years ago. I have always had thick and curly hair and I guess this was the last thing i expected. After bawling my eyes out and thinking any minute all my hair was going to fall out I started to invision myself with a wig. Can't picture it.

Alopecia areata...though rather than spots, it has taken over half of my noggin. For those of you who enjoy irony with a capital *I*... I am also a licensed cosmetologist! My condition has been ongoing for almost 2yrs now. I have worn wigs on and off, for the most part I have been able to camoflauge my baldy head. You know it is an issue when as a professional I can no longer hide it! LOL At the beginning, I could not talk about what was happening to me; I was devastated. Almost everyday I would be in the shower and just wish that it would either all come back or all fall out. The half ass-ed hope of hair and the mess I would coax into a hairdo was more of a pain in the arse than anything. However, at almost 2 yrs, I am cool with the fact my hair may or may not ever come back.
