Feels strange posting this after all of the silly videos lately, but I also want to keep this journey realistic with you and how up and down this can be for an individual, especially someone like me who has never had any experience like this before. A few weeks back I made the decision to regain the control over my hair loss by shaving what was left. As you can see the patches were a lot larger and there were more than I was aware of due to the fact my hair was still covering most of it. This was without a doubt one of the hardest things I have experienced in my lifetime. “It’s just hair” “you’d look great bald” I know people mean well but to me and many others suffering with alopecia, it’s not ‘just hair’ it is for most women, their identity. One I didn’t know I cared about until I lost it. The people I’ve shared my experience with be it personally or online, have shared how proud they are of me showing this side of a scary time for most, for me this has been my reality also but my hope is, that whoever may come across my page and these videos. If they are dealing with their own health issues whether the same as me or not, I can show them that there is power in taking control over something that is trying to control you. I hope I can show young girls that beauty is more than your physical appearance, it’s who you are inside that counts🤍 We will not let our illness win! 👊🏼 Now the future is unknown for me, but we will keep taking each and every day at a time and let’s go through it together🤍 #alopecia #alopeciaareata #hairloss
