Thanks for sharing your experience! I was diagnosed with alopecia two years ago and by now I lost hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. It was very hard at the beginning, I lost a lot of self-confidence but now I’m accepting it: I consider it one of my characteristics and I learned how to joke about it too. Let me tell you that you are a real example for everyone who is in the same situation and doesn’t know how to live with it. Keep going! Big hug from Italy
Hey! So nice to meet you! I completely understand I feel like I’m getting to the stage where I’ve embraced it too now, it definitely took time! Aww thank you so much that’s so kind of you 🤗
Hi, I'm so glad that I found your channel! I have alopecia myself and I lost ALL my hair on my head because of it one year ago😪... It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I always had long and curly brown hair, I loved to style it and many people always told me that it is beautiful. So it was a big part of me that I loved. Then one day I woke up and noticed a bald patch on my head. A few days later I noticed three other bald patches. At that moment I didn't even know what alopecia was. What happened then was absolutely surreal... within only 6 weeks I lost all of my hair🥴😳... I desperately tried to stop it somehow within these 6 weeks, went to different doctors but nothing helped... After 6 weeks there was no hair left on my head😪. I went completely bald. And now, one year later I'm still completely bald, and my hair has never come back😪😭. So for me it was so traumatic and frustrating. I mean I lost my hair when I was 22 years old, can you imagine how unusual it feels when you had hair for 22 years of your life and suddenly it's all gone?? So the first weeks I was sooo embarrassed. I barely left my house, I didn't want to show myself in public, I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror...seeing my bald head made me sad and I kept asking myself "why this happened to me??" "Why did I deserve it?" I felt ugly and disfigured. Anyway now, a year later I got used to it somehow...it took a lot of time until I got used to it and to my "new look". But I am still trying to accept it and to cope with it. I don't wear wigs. First because good wigs are very expensive and second because wearing them is a pain in the butt for me haha😅. Although I have a few wigs, most of the time I wear head wraps or turbans when I go out in public or when I meet my friends, etc. And many people tell me that head wraps and turbans really suit me a lot. Seeing you and your confidence really gives me hope that one day I will fully accept it too☺️. Although, to be honest, I really hope that my hair will grow back one day🙏🏻🙏🏻.
I didn't know your story until today. You were not an adult and I understand it was difficult to assume your hair loss. But the good point, because of your alopecia, we have the pleasure to watch your videos and I assure you it's very refreshing. Be proud of your course
You really are so inspiring. I lost my hair when I was 11, which is coming up to 15 years ago now. Wow. Even saying it’s been that long is just mind blowing to me. When you said that you felt like the only teenage girl going through that, I really connected. It’s such a lonely and traumatic thing to go through at any age, but especially as a teenager. I’d really love to see more from you, and also find the wonderful community you mentioned in this video!
Aww thank you so much that means a lot! So sorry to hear you’ve been through it too I know how hard it can be! If you have Instagram follow me @laurenneate and send me a DM I’d love to share all of the amazing accounts I follow who promote alopecia awareness ♥️
It’s interesting to see how alopecia effects different people I had huge bald spots when I was younger from it but never fully lost all my hair they gave me steroids and it helped all my hair grow back. Then when I had my daughter I had giant chunks of hair dropping out. You are beautiful girl no matter what.
It’s always been crazy to me too! I’ve spoken to so many different people and no stories are the same it’s a really crazy thing 😭 thank you so much that’s so kind 🥰
