Doing Something About It...

Hey guys, the other day I was going through my social medias, checking through my comments and everything when it occurred to me that not everyone knows what Alopecia is. I have had a lot of questions asking me about it so i'm quickly gonna do that.

Alopecia is an auto immune disease where your immune system starts attacking itself. It starts happening when your immune levels are really low. When your immune system starts attacking itself your hair thins and eventually starts falling out. I'm not to sure what the cause of Alopecia is because there are so many, but for me i'm led to think that it's related to my anxiety and stress caused by stress. Also, I done a bit of research and if family members have diseases like diabetes, you could be prone to things like Alopecia.  My maternal aunt had it when she was in school too.


That was a quick little sum up of what it is, to me at least. Anyways I just wanna answer some questions that i'm frequently being asked. My hair is falling out. It will grow back, but in it's own time.I first got it in year 6 and now year 8. I had two bald patches which hid well and it didn't bother me. Now I have bald patches all over. I think it's related to my anxiety attacks, stress and migraines.  I have just had exams. If all my hair grows back I will still carry on blogging


Yesterday night my aunt texted me giving me some advise about my hair. One main thing she pointed out was to rub coconut oil in your hair. When my aunt used to have Alopecia when she was in school, my grandmother would put coconut oil in her hair and it would speed up the process if the hair growth and strengthen the hair follicles or something like that.  Anyways, I decided to do it. I washed my hair before Mum put the oil in and not as much hair fell out which was good.  I think the fallout is much less over the last few days. My carpet was full of it!!!!  She just rubbed it into my scalp and it's been there since. I am going to wash my hair in the afternoon ready for school and hopefully none will fall out then.


Mum's also got me taking MultiVitamins with Iron and taking additional liquid iron as I feel really tired. She's forcing me to have breakfast in the morning and making me drink lots of water.


I think that slowly my hair is strengthening itself again because not as much is falling out anymore as it used to. Which is really relieving. If my hair stops falling out it can start focusing on growing back, which is what i'm looking forward to. As I said earlier on if and when my hair grows back. I will keep blogging. 


I have been very productive this morning my editing a new video which will probably release either today or tomorrow.  Also later on I think I might make a quick little video explaining all about this site and my hair. 


Thank you guys so much for reading this blog. If you want leave me a comment telling me about your Alopecia stories or give me advise. Thank you all so much for all your support. Even now i'm getting DMs and everyone telling me that nothing will change, hair or no hair,  which is really sweet and kind. Also if you see or know someone with Alopecia, don't mock them but support them. Just like you did with me.


Love ya
