Living with Alopecia

Caryberry Graphic Design

There are so many different types of Alopecia; Alopecia Areata (when the hair falls out in small patches), Alopecia Universalis (complete hair loss of the scalp and body), Alopecia Totalis (complete hair loss on the scalp. These are just a few. 

Hair loss can affect anyone at any time, it doesn’t matter your walk of life, your occupation, your economic status.  The color of your skin can put you at risk.  Black and Hispanic women are at a higher risk.  And NO stress itself is not enough to cause the disease.

Recently Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts revealed that she was losing her hair.   YES, the Congress Woman has the auto immune disease Alopecia.  How does Alopecia become an auto immune disease?  Like other auto immune diseases, alopecia is when the body attacks its own hair follicles resulting in hair loss. 

Congresswoman Pressley shared that having hair loss made her feel naked, exposed, vulnerable, embarrassed, ashamed and betrayed.  How man you have every felt those same feelings?  You are not alone.  Make peace with Alopecia. Congress Woman Pressley states.   Find joy in your options, YES you have many many options, from scalp cocktails (which will detoxify and promote hair growth) to hair units (custom wigs), you have options.
