Hi you just spoke each and everything I believe in I have also accepted my hair as they are "with alopecia " and. Have come to terms that it's okay I can use hair extensions like I Use lipstick or make up or like I wear clothes that suit my body rather that having false expectations from products to grow my hair I'm focusing on staying positive and eating healthy other things are out of my control so watching your video made me feel like there someone out there who thinks just like me felt so connected
I have alopecia I m 22 but now I m not afraid to wear a topper...nd just enjoy my life ...more power to u and people like us.♥️♥️# u r such an inspiration..😘
I have alopecia. I am a medical student. Whenever I feel unconfident about my hair, I see your video to get motivated. I have to add one suggestion for those who are struggling with hair loss: Please don't create hype on hair, because hair are just 5% of your body, what about the rest of 95%?
You are smart and beautiful woman. I am Southern European and have lived in the U.S. all of my life. It is very odd that in certain cultures, it is acceptable to wear hair, but in others women especially, don’t get it. Even if they have fine, terrible hair, they don’t understand why as a Caucasian with hair loss, I would choose to wear a wig. I am a lot older than you, but I have dealt with hair loss since puberty. I am almost 50 and still have hair, but is thin, dry, and lifeless. People think I should just wear it short, but I refuse to since that is how I handled my ever shedding hair when I was younger. I feel that with wigs, I can have whatever style I want. Even if I choose to go shorter, my wig will look better than my bio hair. I think many women are scared of wigs because if their hair is thin, they fear that they may have to one day wear a wig in the future, and look old and granny like.. Others, feel like you are being fake. The one thing I will say is as I get older, it is easier to do just do what I want. I will never get approval from others, but I don’t always agree with what they choose to do either. All you can do is be confident and live your life.
Hi! Thank you very much for putting in efforts to talk about it. I have been going through the same and every time I talk to my parents about it they go in denial. But hearing you speak about it gave me so much confidence and I look forward to dealing with it in a positive manner. Thank you very much!
Honestly, hearing you talk makes me feel so much better because everything you say is SO relatable. It makes me feel at ease because I can understand that I am not the only one going through these feelings and I am not alone in this. Thank you for your videos!
Sushmita: lovely seeing you again after a while Priti and connecting on the subject of Alopecia. Having read a few comments I can say that your story is partly mine too! I had the typical "Indian Crown" a mane of thick silky lustrous hair until age 50. It was super thick which made it almost impossible to wear it in a ponytail or an upstyle because the heavy hair used to hurt my scalp. I had a hysterectomy and thereafter slowly noticed hair loss which I thought was normal after the operation. However 10 yrs later it dropped even more so I started wearing extentions which made a huge difference and now invested in a beautiful crown topper which is super natural making me feel happy because it puts a huge smile on my face 😊 In fact nobody knows I'm wearing one 😀 I use Minoxidil which helped retain the little hair I have but whatever I lost NEVER GREW BACK 😔 You bring out the best in Indian women because honestly our hair is our crown 😍
This whole video, i could relate with you. I m 23 and have androgenic alopecia , and the last point is the most relatable and hard. My parents are still keep saying me that it's normal, eat this and that , do exercise and blah blah blah. They took me for all kind of blood test and with god grace ,i was diagnosed with nothing serious but now they are just done. I m stressed to the point where i feel suicidal and they took me to psychiatrist but not to dermatologist or hair specialist. They don't want to know the main reason of my hair loss or letting me do prp or gfc. They just think i m mad and idk what should i do now. 😔😔
Try to make them understand, or maybe send them this video if it helps :) Do check with dermatologist, its good that they are taking care of your mental health but try to make them understand that underlying issue is hair.
K N having a thyroid problem could also lead to hair loss so perhaps suggest that to your doctor who should convince your parents to seek professional help
Sushmita: TOTALLY AGREE 👍 "wearing hair should not be a stigma" and Medical Insurance should pay for hair toppers or wigs because Alopecia a Medical Condition!
That's good to know. In my country Medical Insurance will only pay for a wig if a patient loses all their hair after being treated with chemotherapy for cancer - I don't think for extensions or toppers because it's considered 'cosmetics'
I can completely relate with each and every word you are speaking...and hairdressers in India are still asking same questions when they see thining hair..its funny we don't know our own scalp unless we enter parlour 😂..... started hair thinning at 16 and didn't find any solution even at 40..but still hopeful and keep on trying...as you said " you are not alone" 😊
I am having alopecia and currently i am in depression. I am trying my best to stay positive but again and again I feel anxious that how should I open about it to my friends , to my relatives, what will they think about me, will I ever get a life partner. All these questions haunt me. Sometimes I feel I would better die than going through this. Feeling a little better after hearing you.
Hi Rupal, I can understand why you are feeling so. Your alopecia is not your fault sometimes its hereditary :) You will definitely find a life partner, I have seen so many like us having amazing and supportive life partners , my boyfriend being one. Try to stay positive and focus on something constructive like your career , your fitness or whatever you like doing :)
I understood because I feel the same way you do. But now I have accepted this fact. I try to keep myself calm. I'm 30 now and I have been suffering from fphl when I was 26.
I am so proud of you girl..I heartily appreciate your acceptablility and owning it like a boss..you are giving me lo t of strength through your mindset and I can't thank you enough
I started wearing toppers 2 years ago and now my hear has shed so much after finally leaving birth control and now I definitely feel I have to start looking for wigs or a bigger topper because my hair loss is worse. I’m accepting my hair loss but it does suck and I have those moments where I’m like why me and then I hate having to cover my head with hair everyday but it does get better with acceptance and hair alternatives. Healing isn’t linear you’ll still get those why me days. Thank you for sharing your story.
More power to you 💘we all have this one thing in common and I can totally relate to u ,I am just 17 and I have heavy alopecia from now only and I get really scared while thinking about my 30s but bcoz of you I am very positive about wearing hear and I'm really excited to try toppers 😊
I have FPB and everything you say resonates with me so much, I get really down about how I can cover my head, I wear hats or scarves but I’m embarrassed to wear wigs and I don’t know why ? It feels as if it’s taboo somehow and as if I might be called out about it
Hello! I am so happy I've found you. At the moment I am in process to find out what kind of alopecia I have. Something tells me it's androgenic. I am 25 at the moment and the hairloss it got so worst that I am extremely shameful to go outside without hiding my situation. Pigmentation hair products, hats... I still have a long and fluffy hair becuase it's curly and everyone from my family tells me that it's in my head. The single one who was honest with me it was my husband. I felt so lonely. I can't wait to watch all your videos. You are so brave and beautiful! Thank you sharing your experience with us! 💐💕
My last option is also hair toppers/ extensions but I'm afraid if people would make fun of me if they find out ik its wrong for me to assume this but this is the sad truth as many people in our society are not aware of it. Its really hard coping up with this condition. Most of the times I am confident with however I am but there are days when I feel really depressed and down. Sending love to all of you with the condition💞
Sushmita: Priti just saw you a moment ago with your hair topper... honestly look pretty because as mentioned before Your story is exactly My story 😍 WE ARE NOT ALONE !
