Ok, so this is not your typical Alopecia I'm guessing.
Years down the road, my hair grew back, I had long beautiful, healthy black hair.
It's true what they say, you never realize what you have until it's gone...for the second time!!!
I was very, (very) , good at convincing myself that I've been through this before and after all, it's just hair, blah, blah, blah.
But no, this time, it hit HARD.
It had been a year that we had moved into our new house, and it was finally feeling more like a home (than a house). And I had kept all my wigs packaged in a sealed a storage box. I would ask myself if I needed to be hanging on the wigs (about 20 of them_).
I came close to getting rid of them.
How did it happen? With a round spot, the size of a loonie, right in the middle of the front of my head. You couldn't miss it!! And so, as the weeks went by, I kept an eye on it. It was very obvious and so many people asked. I pretended like I had no clue. I was wishing it would vanish.
And gradually, I felt my pony tail thin out. Of course, denial was my best bet.
Just hang in there hair....you've got this.
I bought shampoos, leave in treatments, you name it. I had a cupboard full.
Nothing helped.
Wearing a wig the second time around is a lot harder. It is more uncomfortable than I remember, and it is itchy, and tight with my glasses on.
Can I get used to it again? Do I have a choice?
