I am a dark African American woman who finballly had to come to terms with having alopecia. I had worn a small bush/fro from my 20's until about 5 years ago. I noticed my hair thinning on the crown. Not having used chemisals for decades, I did not inow the cause. I had thought the cause of my mother's sickness and ultimate death caused stress. After going to my dermo. and using creams, having injections and etc. for months, nothing helped. He finally told me about the alopecia. I have not been able to stop it, even, with diet changes. I resuolted to wearing a wig. The rest of my hair has thinned and I always had had thick, thick, althought short hair all of my life. I have know been told that my hair will eventually be all gone and I will have a head as smooth as my husband's. I have cried and cried thinbking that I will have to be a wig olady for the rest of y l ife. The dermo says there is thoning that can be done.
