My Journey with Alopecia
It’s just hair, you don’t need hair to be beautiful” was a common thing people would say to me when I began loosing my hair. I knew that they were trying to comfort me and meant well, but all I wanted to do was scream…. well go shave your head and tell me how you like it and how beautiful you think you look?! I didn’t do that of course, I would smile and say Thank you. Don’t get me wrong, there are so many beautiful women in the world that can rock the bald look with confidence, I am not one of them.
My Journey with Alopecia started in my early 30s, I would notice quarter size spots of missing hair. I didn’t think too much of it since the spots would eventually grow back , but as time went on, the spots became more frequent and stopped growing back. When I finally went to see the doctor he said Alopecia , a condition I had never heard of.
This was 20 years ago , I couldn’t just google it , thinking back now it was probably a good thing google wasn’t a “Thing” back then or I would have freaked out for sure!
All I could think was what did I do to deserve this? ( I didn’t do anything to deserve it and neither did you!)
For a long time I was in denial, I’m fine, I won’t lose all my hair, It’s no big deal. That was all bullshit! I wasn’t fine, I did lose all my hair and yes It’s a big Friggin Deal! and so my journey with hair loss and the discovery of wigs began
