Lurker finally posting

Hey guys! I'm Kayla (not exactly a guy, but still bald!). I'm 25 and have alopecia aretea. I've lost about 50% of my hair in patchy circles all over my head and all of my eyelashes. When it first started a few years ago, I shaved what hair was left with with clippers and wore wigs. Wigs suck. They're hot, they itch, and they're expensive!
I started lurking around here a few months ago. I wanted to start shaving my head completely and stop wearing the wigs. I was really nervous. I read a ton of threads about razors, creams, and feeling confident while bald. About two months ago I went out and bought myself a headblade, some shaving cream, and gave it a try.
I love it! I shave every day and it's actually something I look forward to most mornings. So thanks fellas - this forum gave me the courage to finally rock my bald head in public.
(not giving up the fake eyelashes though.

Wow! Welcome to this side of the fence
I love how youre accepting the changes in life and with your body and doing what you can with it. Ive heard and known women who went into depression over hair loss or Alopecia, and its not easy at all. Hats off to you for dealing with it in such a bold and confident way. Im really happy for you.
Im sure your story will be a inspiration to any other ladies who are debating how to handle the options. Congrats!

Awesome, welcome to the forum! You'll quickly find we are a very supportive bunch around here and it's great to have representation from our sly sisters! A friend of mine's wife also has the same condition (I hope that is the PC phrasing) and she typically wears wigs when she goes "out" but if it's something more informal or just people she knows well then she will go sly and proud.
Also worth adding: headblade is a great company, for real. If you ever have issues or questions or anything they are the best. We pretty much all can attest to their stellar customer service.

Welcome, Kayla!
I must say, that you look beautiful as a bald female. Sorry about your situation with the alopecia, but much respect to you for embracing it and going sly. Nice to hear from our female members; we've had quite a few but they haven't posted in a bit. Please feel free to participate often.
