Hair

There it is. The only cap I felt comfortable in for the past 9 or so months. I have tons of hats, caps, scarves and even a few wigs. To date I have not found a cap that I like better then this black and teal paisley one.  Not sure what it is about this one. 

Losing your hair is stressful in itself.  Some of the hardest parts for me are in the day to day life meetings between me and my family and friends (whether they be friends you see daily, or those you see monthly, or worse yet those meetings with people you see just once a year or so)......it’s extremely hard in each circumstance. This cap gives me just a little security with those meetings no matter who I’m seeing.  Self confidence and security aren’t that high when you’re bald and have partial eyebrows. 

Relieved to say I’m putting the cap away for now. Yes. That means my hair grew back for the second time, so much so I had a little bitty hair cut last weekend. My comfort level is okay now for going out and about with my very, very short hair. 

For me to keep tabs, here are the details. My hair was noticeably falling out last summer July 2018 and was completely gone by October 2018.  I also lost 1/2 my eyebrows this time. No hair and also having to draw on eyebrows.  

I started Dupixent for my eczema and also a  foam steroid cream for my scalp and eyebrows in December 2018.  By March, my smooth bald head was showing signs of regrowth. It took a few months to get to that bitty hair trim last weekend. My eyebrows came back pretty quickly. 

Still no answers. Just that alopecia is its own thing- no rhyme or reason.

Today the cap gets put away.
