    hi 17 year old.

    i am a 36 year old mother of two and i have just discovered that i am having temporary baldness. since i have been pregnant with my little one, who is now 2yrs of age. i have being going for regular head massages and using an indian oil called Dabur Amla, its only available in Indian shops. use it 2ce a week and if you can keep it on over night, and don't tie your hair alot as pulling etc can cause breakage etc. My hair is coming back slowly.

    I agree, Us who suffer from Alopecia are not the ones with the problem it is the ignorance of society... I am 26 and have had Alopecis since I was 7 years old. I know its easier said than done but try not to worry and not to touch your hair all the time... I have a terrible habit of touching my patches as i love the feel of them and the feeling of new hair... Stay confident and happy and before you know it your hair should be back. :D xx
