Well... just reached the 180 days rule + updates

Hi Guys, not sure if I'm posting in the right part of the forum but... here it goes:

I first shaved my head around December 2009 and kept it shaved since that date.  Was pretty easy since I was diagnosed with Alopecia about 1 month after... and I'm not talking simple alopecia; I'm talking alopecia universalis

"Alopecia universalis or alopecia areata universalis is a medical condition involving rapid loss of all hair, including eyebrows  and eyelashes. It is the most severe form of alopecia areata, with an incidence of .001% (1 in 100,000)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alopecia_universalis

Besides the eyelashed and eyebrows, alopecia universalis is a blessing for the "shading factor" 0% shade! I didn't shave for at least 3 months ;-)  Now for the update: my air is starting to grow back! I now have to shave every day... my shading is not perfect anymore but I still manage to be near perfect.  Eyebrows and lashed are now fully regrown... I feel more confident with those.

So, for people with alopecia... there is hope.. there is definitively hope

Good to hear your getting your hair back!

Well I'm really glad my eyelashes/eyebrows are growing back... but not having to shave my head to be bald with no shade was pretty cool... now I have to shave everyday like everybody else

I will remain bald because I really like how I feel/look bald...
