I was in my 20s when I started loosing my hair. My doctor though my hair loss was stress related since I was so young and have no women in my family with history of significant hair loss. After checking my thyroid, ordering several labs and eliminating all possibilities, she took a chunk of my scalp and sent it to the lab. I was diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia. I was relieved at first that it wasn’t health related, then I asked: is there a cure?
No, there is no cure for androgenetic alopecia. However, the progression of this condition tends to be very slow, spanning several years to decades. An earlier age of onset may predict a quicker rate of progression.
I had two choices, cry, or learn to embrace it.
I did both, don’t get me wrong, but now and thanks to UniWigs I only embrace it.
