The Struggle and Misunderstanding in Hair Loss...

What matters most is how you feel about you, and often with the best of intentions others will unintentionally minimize this devastation by telling you, “people will love you no matter what” “you look good bald” or XYZ, this is great, I know my friendships, my relationships are not based around my hair, and I’ve been so open and public about this or SO VERY LONG, that I know truly the majority of people accept me BOTH ways, I’ve been pulling my hair off in public for longer than people can imagine, but that doesn’t change at the end of the day… how I FEEL my best, and how is that? I feel my best with hair, so I choose to wear wigs, I can go out without them yes, but that isn’t how “I” feel my best.
The process, the journey of hair loss is complex but I think a lot of people’s journey’s get even more complicated because they have the outside noise of you shouldn’t this or that, no one can tell you what you feel or what you should do to feel MOST like you. I don’t care if you look like Cara Delevingne without hair, totally bald, it matters how YOU FEEL, now sure goals would be to bridge that gap for ourselves, to feel the CARA in the bald, AND with the hair and that would be the happily ever after, totally get it, but hair loss is complex and things are not so cut and dry. Give yourself grace in this process. It’s true your true friends will be your ride or die in this process and hold your hair at the bar ( off your head) not bat an eye at what you do because they don’t see that, they see you, they love you, but we have to do what we need to do to feel most like us, and live our best life, whatever that may be. ❤️

Everything you say is so true I've suffered androgenetic alopecia since I was 17 im now 54 it's horrible watching your hair slowly fade away I wear wigs still hate looking in the mirror unless you suffer from alopecia noone can feel your despair androgenetic alopecia is so cruel for a woman

It's something very indescribable (though I've tried and do), but it's something so often misunderstood by those not dealing in hair loss, sending you much love, I know how hard the process and journey is. ❤

Thank you. I feel the same. I am a man.

You are exactly right. I don't see "me" when I look in the mirror anymore or run my fingers through my thin , almost no hair. Your wig looks so natural and pretty. Do you mind telling me the brand? When I put a wig on , that's all I see and I feel like that's all everyone else sees. And yes, It bothers me!

I'm contemplating 🤔 to shave my hair because my hair is fine. I got my haircut shorter because it literally snows pieces of hair when combing it out after a shower. The haircut didn't help.
