people who are suffering aswell..

black beautiful hair..Never used to stress
about anything enjoyed going out etc until
1 day I started noticing my hair was
getting thin I didnt really pay no
attention to it
16 - I started modelling & I always
remember my hair stylest said to me your
hair getting thin I was concerned..
5months later my hair was falling out in
bunches..I was so scared..So I went for
help..Asked my doc what I should do he
said to massage alomond oil/coconut oil
into my scalp..So I tried that for 2months
stil no changes..
My hair got so bad..I had so many bald
patches in my hair..Hardly had any hair
left
so I seeked for more help..I tried chinese
herbs..Everyting you could thing of but
nothing worked I had alopica I hated it..@
the same time I was studying for exams @
coll..My friends were diamonds..But their
were the few who would b****, laugh @
me..
I stopped going colege because I hated the
way I looked I hardly no hair

17yrs - a friend recomended me 2 wear a
wig..I didnt like the idea @ all but I did
start wearing 1..It looked so
natural..Every 1 thought my hair had grown
back..I felt confident wering 1..
18- started going back to college..Still
wearing a wig no 1 said anything as it
looked real..I also started modelling
again
19 - till this day I am still wearing a
wig..Im taking medication for hair loss it

caca happens. I am 17, loosing my hair
(started @ 16). I am probably going to
lose it all by the time im 20, I seriously
dont think rogaine and propecia are
"viable". They're drugs; a treatment
not a cure. I'm generally a good
looking guy, im very talented at sports,
excellent in school, excellent with
computers, read alot of books and
generally bright. I suppose being bald
is a small price to pay. Im 100000%
sure we are much tougher on ourselves
about loosing our hair than society is, I
hope you get through this, we had a
completely bald girl in our highschool and
she was so sweet, had alot of friends, and
seriously everyone saw past it about a
week after she came. Her personality
shone. It really sucks I know it must
be much tougher for you because you're a
girl. Good luck.

I feel all your pain. I was in 6th grade
when my hair loss problem started. They
said it was because of stress but they
really didnt know. I went through all
tests possible and they said I had
propecia arriata.. So far..My hair is
still thin and im 18. I got highlights so
it makes it look alittle thicker but
nothing has been working. Ive taken all
pills you could think of and even thought
of a wig or extentions but they couldnt
attach anything to my hair because the
hair itself was so thin. I tried shampoos
and all types of rogain and nothing so I
finally gave up. Everyone got used to my
hair now that I am a senior .. I used to
get picked on alot and I couldnt take it
anymore..Thank god I have a great bf that
loves me for me and says that if something
comes out that could help..Hes making me
do it.. Hold your head up high you'll get
through it all

It's Hard to Go Through Posted: 01-12-07 10:50am
Hi,
i wanted to say I know how hard it is to
go through this. You are not the only
one. I have been through the same
period. I started losing hair when I was
17, and now I am 22. Mental depression,
dissatisfaction with everything. You
name it...
Just wanted to tell you how I have been
able to stop my hair loss and start some
growth. I have started using provillus
it has changed my life. It is an herbal
product and in one month stopped the hair
loss and a little after 2 months I started
to see the hair growth.

I know how you feel. I have had Alopecia
since I was in grade 6 and I'm 19 years
old now...I have not gotten my hair back
yet and not only was it just my hair on my
head. My eye brows, eye lashes and hair on
arms and legs are gone completely (arms
and legs are the only benifit XD)..I have
tried the meds and nothing works...because
of this I have become very depressed that
I have gained alot of weight

I'm incomprehensibly relieved that I'm not
the only teen with hair problems. Mine's
not falling out, but it's more like
thinning. It doesn't bother me so much as
other people's reactions bother me. I hate
having a conversation with someone and
having them stare at my scalp as they're
talking to me. I think it would be
comparable to a guy staring at a girls
chest while she's talking to him. I'd like
to find a solution, but until I do, I'm
sticking with the plan b of just shaving
it all off.
BALD IS BEAUTIFUL!!

Hello Posted: 04-10-08 02:12am
At 16 i started getting a receding hair
line and a widows peak on the right side
At mid 16, 4 months from 17, I noticed it
that it had stopped. I used to have my
hair always buzz cut because of sports so
it would dry quickly.
Now I have to have longer hair to cover
the receding hair line. I am now 19 and my
hair line looks the same as 2 years ago.
But its been hard having to cover it and
sometimes not working out. Ive taken a
good look and it looks pretty horrible if
you do a close up. I wish it grew back,
but I have no clue why it started then
stopped. I still have the same eating
habbits, if anything I'm just more
muscular and i eat a little better. I just
don't understand how this could happen at
such a young age. But seeing as I'm not
the only one makes me feel better. I hope
you guys find a way! I truely do!
