One in five UK women with hair loss feel neglected by their doctors. If you ladies thought you might get better care here in the US, think again, not in this Alopecian’s experience. If a man loses his…

- About Me
- I am the President of 4Women.com and designer of the newly patented BeauBeauR head scarf, a fashionable scarf specifically designed for women and girls. The Beaubeau unites the world of fashion with medical hair loss. 4Women.com's mission is to help women and girls cope with the emotional upheaval of medical hair loss with dignity and confidence and to advocate for greater understanding of the emotional impacts of medical hair loss among medical professionals and the public. I lost my hair quite suddenly in 2002 due to the autoimmune disease, Alopecia Universalis. Like so many women who experience hair loss, I suddenly found myself alienated and excluded from the worlds of feminine fashion and beauty. I channeled my fear and depression into a positive and proactive goal of ensuring that I and other women and girls with medical hair loss have a fashionable accessory that empowers us to step back out into the world with dignity, feeling confident and beautiful, not sick. I come from three generations of breast cancer survivors and am a BRCA2 gene carrier. At extreme risk for developing breast cancer, I made the bold decision to have my ovaries removed and undergo a prophylactic full mastectomy about nine years ago. A "pre-vivor," I am cancer-free, but very much empathize with women who lose their hair during chemotherapy. I strive to be a source of strength and hope for women and girls with medical hair loss.

When Bald Beats Hair Loss
Posted on June 11, 2012 at 12:54pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
For the second time since first losing my hair over a decade ago, I have hair. Not a lot of hair, not long hair, not normally textured hair, but hair. What I mean is that the total area of my head with hair growth is greater than the total area without hair. I’m still losing hair, not all over all-at-once, but in roving bald spots. So I have to be creative, moving…
The Beauty Behind the Bald Barbie Movement
Posted on June 5, 2012 at 10:26am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I’ve been a fan of the Bald Barbie idea since I first heard about it. I followed the debate that grew out of it and initially kept my voice of support to myself as I understand the voices of support and dissent. Prior to knowing much of anything about the movement, I assumed the person behind Bald Barbie was…

The Hardest Part of Hair Loss
Posted on May 15, 2012 at 11:23am 0 Comments 0 Likes
As an Alopecian, the hardest part of hair loss for me is that I am assumed to be sick, or more specifically, to have cancer. Not only don’t I have cancer, but beyond my immune system’s assault on my hair follicles, I am absolutely healthy. Bummer? Yes, but life goes on and I choose to move on with it.
A couple of years ago, I…

I might be in the minority, but I am okay with Facebook’s decision to censor The Scar Project’s photos of topless women exposing the scars they’ve accumulated in their battles with breast cancer. Here’s why:
1) Just because I have mastectomy…
