  • Lets talk insecurities! My biggest insecurity is my big bald head. I have been dealing with alopecia since I was 16 years old, and now it is time to get real about I feel about it, how it impacts me and many others on a daily basis, and how I am no longer letting it define me!
    I apologize for not recording in landscape, but the msg is the same!!!

    I wish I had your confidence, I am inspired by you. I too suffer from Alopecia most of my life. I told myself if I had a daughter I would have to gain confidence and self reassurance for her sake, the truth is thats hard. Although whole world does accept you, its hard to accept yourself. Thank you sharing your truth.

    I literally cried watching this cause ik what you mean and Ik exactly how you feel I cut my hair completely off thinking I would feel better not wearing a wig and for some reason it didn’t fill that void completely.. like people really don’t understand what it feels like to have alopecia. It’s depressing sometimes and it makes you insecure especially when society defines beauty as long beautiful hair

    You are beautiful inside and outside. We live in a superficial world that praises the khardashians and plastic surgeries. Trust me we are all gonna get old one day and our looks will fade but you know when were on our last few days on earth nobody will care about how big are ass is or how nice are teeth were. People will remember how you made them feel and impacted there life. I lost my hair when i was a teenager as well (male pattern baldness) and for years i wanted to change it because so as you i grew up being bullied. I am 27 years old now and 3 years ago i decided to fully embrace the bald look because we have to accept how god made us and we are supposed to look different for a reason which makes the world a beautiful place since we are special in our own way.

    Your courage is inspirational. I've had alopecia universalis for over 20 years and found my first bald spot in 1990. I don't know if or when I'll ever get to where you're at but I'm so proud of you! Thank you for sharing your beauty and your story with us. 💙

      Everything you just said! From the insecurity to the shots in her scalp. I feel all of this so deeply.

    Salute you my dear! I’ve been there. Dermatologist, shots, weaves, wigs, kids pointing, friends asking if it was a medical problem or a fashion choice, parental lack of support, friends (good ones) not taking pictures with me when we’re out even though they say they love the bald head and head getting cold in the winter even in California. I shaved it by choice because the thinness of what was there had simply gotten on my last nerve. Wearing wigs in the summer just got to be entirely too much. I’m 62 so I really didn’t care. I salute you because the younger me probably would not have been brave enough to do it. Thank you for being an encouragement to younger women. No one should have to “hide” under hair if they don’t want to, like I was. You are beautiful! Thank you seriously for sharing your story!

    How brave of you to share your story. I follow you on Instagram and am now subscribed to your TH-cam and I thinks you are absolutely beautiful with your wig or even being bald. You radiate beauty. I know what your going through well sort of i do not have alopecia but I was diagnosed with cancer and it can get hard with not see the beauty in your self or what you thought was beauty when you look different. I have many scars and some big some little which make me self conscience a lot of the time. so I am guilty of that as well. I hope you continue to find your peace and confidence knowing you are beautiful in any form you choose to be. Sending blessing your way.❤️

    Omg I understand exactly what you are talking about. It took me a long time to start loving who I saw in the mirror. I was doing the same thing wearing wigs to hide my baldness. When I made my mind up to let go and self love on me. I post my picture on face book while I was still in the stop. Didn't care who like it or not. I was so at peace when I just let go.

    Honestly, you inspire me. I have had alopecia areata for a decade now and I’m only 17. I’m completely bald as well. I understand the part of your story especially the shots and the comments and the mean comments from people but you are beautiful in your spirit and outside. You are strong as well ❤️

    So.... this video made me cry so much. You are a very beautiful person inside and out💯. Listening to you speak of your experiences hit home. You sound just like my daughter. You telling everyone how you feel helps others and I hope it helps you as well. I looked for different groups my baby (she’s 17☺️) could join just to have someone to talk to who shares the same experiences. There were not many groups. I will not continue writing because I can go FOREVER. You are beautiful and I hope you continue to speak of your experiences

    I follow you on Instagram and I love how transparent and bold you are. I watched this video and I'm in tears ok girl, you made me cry. I suffer from alopecia as well. I see a dermatologist and I get injections in my head to helpfully regrow my hair. I wear wigs because I'm in an environment where I don't think people would understand what I go through on a daily basis with my hair. I remember when my hair first started falling out and how sensitive my scalp was. Now til this day I don't show my head without my wig. My family doesn't know what my head looks like. I showed my sister one day and her reaction just made me regret ever showing her. But I love you my sister for being here and for sharing your story. I know this is long but thank you thank you.

    #Boom girl you're beautiful!!! Wear your bald head with confidence and proudly. My honest opinion is that somebody is putting a chemical in black people's hair products and that's what's making our hair fall out.
