Studies???

What are "studies"? The studies show that there are 5 million just in the U.S. alone that have Alopecia. Where does this number come from? I ask because I run into so many people that have Alopecia and in THEIR lifetime they probably would have come across no more than 5 they would say. They also would have never heard of the the Alopecia Foundation and the annual conference that they put on...so I'm confused...I mean were they counted in the 5 million or the small percentage of the population??

I do believe that if more people were up front about their hairloss then and only then that the "studies" would have an almost accurate count. So how do we get more people to talk about their hair loss?

I'll keep this question burning as I think of a solution. Until that time, peace!

The Face of Alopecia

What makes someone the "face" of anything? I ask because more and more people refer to me as the face of Alopecia. Is it because I accept my bald head and choose to display it? I mean, I truly do not like the feel of wigs, but that's just me...

I just want to set the record straight, I and the Sandra's, the Olivia's, the Kiah's, the countless Children, Women and Men that have to deal with Alopecia and its affects daily are all faces of Alopecia. I take nothing away from them because they are my Hero's.

My mission is and will always be Alopecia Awareness.

I just felt like saying this...LOL...

Have a Good one!
