I've tried most of the popular brands, and used different wig caps...but they all become itchy and annoying after a short while. Is there a secret to wearing a wig that I might not be aware of? I have Alopecia and have very thin hair that makes me look bald all over my scalp. I would like to wear a wig again since people seem to react different to me when I have one on, otherwise they think I'm...

Hi all,Just want to spread the word that topically rubbing ginger juice on my alopecia areata patch (on the beard I’m a guy) regrew my hair (which hasn’t regrown by itself for 2 years). After just few weeks I started to see some lost hair growing back and after about 4 months all hair regrew.resolvealopecia.wordpress.com(if for any reason the link is broken search in google ‘resolvealopecia...

A times I lose all my hair from head to toe but not all the hair on my head just patches but everywhere else I loss all of it but then it come back and goes way again. But all the time I have bald spots on my arms, legs, and pubic areas. What would that be considered? I also have problems with my nails but I know that is normal with alopecia. Is this still considered Alopecia Areata?

When I was 12 I had bald spots on my head about the size of quarters. I wore a hairpiece in 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade or alternated sometimes by wearing a bandana (this was back in the 70's). I am now in my early 50's and my hair grew completely back in 10th grade. My question to this group - does anyone know what causes alopecia areata? Stress? Mine started around the time I started my...

Hello, I have been suffering with alopecia areata for a few years now and have been through almost every treatment possible with no results! I have lost the hair to the front and sides of my scalp and am looking for options of hair pieces that would be suitable. I dont want to go for a full wig as I have thick hair everywhere else but need something that looks natural.

Hi,Has anyone had the Xtrands done? I'm wondering how often you have to add hair, how much they charge for the maintenance, and how it looks. I have read complaints about the cost and the sales pressure at the Hair a club but haven't seen many complaints about the products. I was told the initial price is $3,195 but they won't tell me how much it will cost to maintain. Any information would be...

Hi, I am a mom of 6 kids...one of them is my 13 year old daughter who has been struggling with alopecia. This happened almost a year ago when chunks of hair began to come out at the nape of her hairline...then soon it became worse until she lost all her hair except a strip like the old men get from one ear to the other....I ended up shaving that off for her just to make her look a little...

I'm a 55-year-old woman whose first-ever patches appeared last October. My general practitioner said it was due to stress and referred me on to a dermatologist. My dermatologist then diagnosed me in January with alopecia areata and prescribed a topical steroid treatment which, over a six-week period, really had no effect. March 1st I started a version of the Paleo diet -- I'm maybe 98%...
