ALOPECIA AREATA JOURNEY: Talking all things alopecia, hair loss, wigs, makeup, and skincare.

[@ESTIsLaced]

This literally made me cry. I have the EXACT issue. A small patch on my head then my thyroid hashimotos. Now my hair is falling everywhere. 😔😔😔😔😞😞😞 no one understands. Everyone tells me it’s going to grow back but everywhere it’s falling. It’s not going to grow back and it’s hard for me to accept that when everyone is giving me false hope. 😞😞😞

[@RobynGermyn]

Sending you a big hug and love!! It can be so hard and feel so isolating. But there's a lot of people on instgram that share their journey with alopecia. I would suggest following along with some of them. It has helped me to know that I'm not alone. Xoxo

[@stepintime8865]

You are not alone my friend. Ive had this for 30 years and early on I didnt know how to cope at that young age but I promise you will go on. Rely on your inner strength. You are beautiful.

[@ejudith]

I am thrilled that you are doing this. You are going to help so many people. Your message is important and relevant. It goes way beyond alopecia. Self love, self worth, self acceptance. So many girls and women need to hear this right now. I can't imagine anyone better than you to lead the conversation. Can't wait to hear more. And you are absolutely gorgeous - inside and out.

[@laram9068]

I’ve had AA since I was 8 and now Im 19 and it hasn’t gotten any easier, your story has really helped me, thank you.

[@juniorsellote4814]

30 years old i have alopecia maybe 85% of my hair was bald spot then now im 32 i recover my hair loss almost 90% 😁😁

[@Uzmaa_kashif]

Did u get any treatment?

[@ngfong2580]

May I know what treatment has you done?

[@luismora5328]

How did you recover it !

[@Deepthi-h3d]

Can u please tell me how u got headfull of hair please…..

[@dianacruze1825]

Hey junior ot would be so kind and helpful if ud share how u recovered.

[@pheonix2231]

Hi Robyn, thank you for sharing your experience! I also have Alopecia, suddenly, and for the first time I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata in March this year at 39 years old. I ended up losing approx 30% of my hair, saw a dermatologist, did steroid injections on the largest patch, once. Then I decided to see a Functional Nutritionist and I am convinced that its through her treatment that my hair is now all growing back, less than 6 months later. I am aware that this may be an ongoing journey for me, as it has been for you. This video is a good reminder to stay on track. I can’t recommend seeing a functional nutritionist enough - the bald patches and thinning areas started to grow back before the patch that had the steroid injections. Thank you for starting this channel.

[@charmorrissey1664]

You are what I need. I do not have alopecia. I have an autoimmune condition called lichen planopilaris which kills the hair follicle. Up til now I have been very good at camouflage but this condition is also painful and I find chemicals like in hair spray are making it worse. It is time to shave the rest of my hair off. I have turbans and wigs ready but watching you for encouragement will mean a lot. Thank you.

[@Blueeyedbird92]

I feel your pain doll I'm going through the same thing I've had alopecia since I were 11 I'm now 27 I've been through every medication possible found it worked but after a little while stopped I'm now going for a hair piece or wig although we in the uk are still in lockdown so I dont know how long it will be before I get them. I have just put my story out on social media because why the heck not. You should be so proud of yourself as I am it's taken me years to speak about mine. And no matter what you are beautiful doll. Xx

[@norryvamp]

You have no idea how important this sort of video is for other people with the same health problems :3 Thank you.

[@GabrielaCoutinho12]

How terrifying is to wake up and watch a whole bunch of your hair literally fall..... I admire all you and others went through with alo. It's scary and sudden and you're strong and truly beautiful! Hair is fun, but it's not the source for beauty, really. Stay this confident, this happy, this strong! Even when things get hard! Kisses

[@Emicello88]

Thank you for sharing your journey! I have alopecia since 2013, lost all my hairs in 2015. Still nothing, but I’m happy for you that you have some, it brings hope! Yes, we are ENOUGH!

[@jessisanson557]

I was just recently diagnosed with alopecia. I also have Hoshimotos like you. You’re such an inspiration! Thank you so much for being brave and posting this video.

[@beautifulamerica5441]

I was just diagnosed and going through treatment right now. Thank you for being so brave and sharing.

[@leatawilliams]

HI Robyn, I came across your page through my studies of Alopecia Areata. I speak to people daily who feel as if they don't know where to turn after experiencing AA. You are a beacon of light!

[@char12322]

Thank you for sharing, you’ve definitely helped me. I’ve had AA since I was a toddler but it went away for years and came back worse than ever before, when I was a teen. It’s very unpredictable but I trust God that like you said, I have the strength, through the tears and hurting, to go through this with confidence. Well done x

[@billsweetland294]

Hang in there sweetie. You are more than just your hair. My wife also has this condition along with other autoimmune disorders. Stress definitely makes this condition worse but once people understand what alopecia is most are very kind. You are beautiful.

[@israelcruz6685]

I have the same problem with you , 4 months now. My friend recommends me to used castor's oil and it's really work. Now my hair's back in shape. I got the confidence back. Thanks to the advice n castor oil.

[@Bee-jj3hi]

You are an inspiration to all women ❤️

[@chrisburns1190]

You know I have always adored you, and now I am even more proud that you are taking us in this journey. I think there are people out there that need a guide and you will be a perfect inspiration!!!! I think the talk of wigs and other coverings will be inspiring and the trials and tribulations you went through are sure yo help others especially younger people who may feel they don’t have a friend. You are the best!

[@carolbustillos656]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It makes me feel supported by people who knows how hard it is to deal with this condition day by day ❤️

[@ChelseyJVanattia]

I was diagnosed about 8 months ago. The hairloss is getting wild. I also have hoshimotos and hypothyroidism. Best place to get wigs? Your outlook is so great. YOU are ENOUGH!

[@AllTimeLowHJD]

Going through similar situation, this video means a lot!!

[@annamakesandmends]

I love this! I've gone through something similar and have even posted my own video about my experiences, and I just love finding like-minded people with alopecia that just rock it! It makes me so happy

[@AdamMurrayLive]

I’m always impressed with your bravery with sharing your story. Keep being awesome!

[@mariliaantipa]

I like this guy that has alopecia and this video was really helpful and I actually learned a lot about what he has gone through. Thank you! Good luck on your journey ❤️

[@sheri2845]

Thank you, thank you, sweet darling, your channel is going to be such a great help to me, so happy to have found it. 🙏❤️

[@anaaguiar7807]

I’ve been loosing hair for six months. Finally controlled hair fall. Used Vegamour drops and CBD shampoo. Also ulu vitamins. Just ad of late shedding has almost stopped. Began drinking organic aloe juice and taking zinc drops. Also think fenugreek seeds soak helped. Hair is filled in and almost no shedding 🙌🏼

[@susangermyn-francis8484]

Awesome video - well done my talented, beautiful girl!

[@kcluney47]

I also have this disease and I was happy to find your story. I have trouble with people always asking if I have the big c. I have no hair anywhere on my body and when it first happened it blew my mind. You are definitely right in the fact it is helpful to have someone who understands. Thank you.

[@MoonRabbit_11]

It's not uncommon for people to have more than one autoimmune disease (I have 4, alopecia totalis, Hashimoto's, Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis). It's just good to be aware of this, so if you are having other health issues, get checked. My hair loss started as AA and progressed to a mix of AT and AU. I've been bald for 40+ years and a year and half ago I started sharing bald selfies on my IG page @deannecotton I've learned a lot from my journey as I'm sure you have from yours. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to you future videos. 😘

[@AAAF2010]

Wow, what a moving story! Thank you for sharing this.

[@ngfong2580]

I'm going through the same pain. I have had Alopecia since I was 20 year old (which was 8 years ago). These 8 years are like hell to me. It got me anxious everytime I washed my hairs. Had tried so many different treatments but all I got was only pain with no to little improvement.

[@piumiranathunga3097]

I have same autoimmune disease since 2013 now im 25. I never saw Person like me in my country so I was really feel isolated and fedup, Some times I thought why Im living I wanted to die. When people ask what happen to ur hair I wann to hide from people actually I like lockdown and qurantine 😔 coz then I can stay home. Anyway when I catch this video I feel little bit confident. Thanku for sharing your expiriance it makes me comfortable.😔💓💓❤️

[@Mary-fv4bn]

Talking about your journey with hair loss took a lot of courage. I am so proud of you. Thank you.

Hi Robyn thank you for this video:) I also have alopecia I really want to shave my head but I'm nervous to do it ain't gonna lie lol my hair started falling out recently and it feels gross so that's why I want to shave my head and just start fresh and not worry about it anymore it's exhausting..and for some reason I think if I shave my head my hair will start to grow back

[@Rafathy]

Hey more power to you, I'm not a woman or a girl but i had this stupid thing since i was 5. It sucks and I'm still not confident about it, as a dude I cant draw my eyebrows and/or wear wigs without drawing more attention to myself. I just keep the hair I got, I use it to cover my eyebrows and wear a hat. But thanks for sharing nonetheless, it's nice to hear other perspectives on it.

[@bshows14]

I have been dealing with LPP for about a year. I was also offered all of the treatments that you have mentioned. I have not tried them for the same worry that I will harm other needed body systems trying to keep hair.

[@hattrickk3338]

I’ve just been diagnosed with this... I have a 2x2inch circle on the back of my head... started using this cream they gave me and this shampoo and if no regrowth in 2 weeks at all then I start injections... I really hope this doesn’t come back if this treatment works...

[@autisticshuffler3986]

So last year I woke up and noticed I had a bunch of hair on my bed and then over the next few days my whole head was patches everywhere i am losing it due to the fact I already struggle with bad epilepsy and autism I am getting really stressed recently about my hair not leaving the house ever and it sucks bad wish you good luck girl :/

[@debstep333]

What kind of diet did you get on to help with your hair loss? Would love to know!

[@RobynGermyn]

Hi there! A lot of people that have alopecia follow the AIP diet (autoimmune protocol diet) because if they have alopecia they most likely may have another autoimmune disease. I think it's different for each person though, so I suggest just doing some research on inflammatory foods and doing a process of elimination. xx

[@camilagrgicevic2890]

I'm 19 and I have been losing my hair for about a year to the point that I can't cover up the parches with any hairstyle like I did on the begining, but going to the doctor really scares me because that means accepting I have a problem, so I keep putting it off as I keep getting more and more hairless and don't even know if I'll be able to grow it back

[@nicksmith9371]

Hi, it's hard. But whether you do accept it or not, there is a problem and you need help with that problem. As scared as you are and probably worried about the answer you might get and whether treatment will work, will you feel any worse than you do now? You have tried to manage it and unfortunately it hasn't worked so .maybe it's best to change your approach. Think of it this way, if you broke your leg you wouldn't wait and see if it got better on It's own. Take care, and try not to panic.

[@camilagrgicevic2890]

@@nicksmith9371 Thank you for your support it was really sweet! I actually went to the doctor a couple days after I posted this comment, I was given some meds and I'm waiting for some labs results to find out the cause of my hairloss. Things are better I think, I feel less scared because the doctor was really nice to me.

[@RobynGermyn]

@@camilagrgicevic2890 Hoping that all is well and getting better for you. I know that the unknown can feel so scary. I think it's the hardest part about hairloss, not knowing if it'll grow back, fall out, every day it can change. Sending you love!! xoxo

[@justindc3124]

Hello, I find myself in a simliar situation as of 2019.... Curious when did your Alopecia start? I am wodnering if the Chemtrails which spray silver iodide into our clouds are causing this sort of thing..... My mother never saw any of this in her lifetime of 65 years......

[@RobynGermyn]

I first lost a patch of hair about 10 years ago and then it grew back. And then I lost all of my hair in 2016. Alopecia is very common and has been around for years but most likely undiagnosed/not talked about. I have talked to women that had it going back to the 50s. I just think that it's still such a taboo subject to if you personally didn't have it or no someone close who had it, you could go your whole life not really knowing it exists or what it is because people and society don't talk about it.

[@justindc3124]

@@RobynGermyn Ok Robyn, well im sorry you have had to deal with this sort of thing for this long, I bet that is tough! Yeah, your probably right, I bet tons of people have it but just do not talk about it.. I know alot of guys have bald heads these days, I guess I will soon be one of them too.... I literatly have good hair and even this week its like I have a few huge completely bald spots now appearing in the corwn of my head, it's obviously not genetics and natural aging process, its totally random spots here and there. Wow, well either way, I guess one good thing is we can all look back to God to see what he might be working out in our lives through these tough struggles... I remember a verse in the Bible where a man names Paul had a thorn in his flesh whatever that was, and he prayed to the Lord Jesus three times asking Him to take tha thorn away and the Lords answer was My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
