I think bald women look great too, especially if they`re happy and confident with their look-because everyone looks better that way! I agree that being bald can enhance the feminine or masculine features too and can also make one look younger. I have very long hair for many years, which I enjoy but it also takes up quite a bit of time and energy. Being bald gives you freedom from that hassle! I had my hair very short as a teen (about #2) and it was much easier. May go back to that look one day. The reason I grew my hair long in the first place is I was very hard up and couldn`t afford to get it cut! You bald women can also save on hair dressing bills! Head Tatoos- Just a word of warning, my bro in law (he is heavily tatooed all over) said head tatoos were very painful indeed. You`d have to be 150% sure before doing it wouldn`t you!! Good luck to everyone who is beautifully bald1 Claire
I am a bald guy, I am also a black guy. In Africa there are many black ethnic groups that shave their heads both the men AND women. I think bald women are beautiful, whether you have alopecia or shave bald! and there is nothing wrong with appreciatin bald beautiful women! Good luck to you gorgeous bald ladies!

It is nice of you to start this thread Johan for us permanently bald and beautiful types! Men like you Johan and my husband are wonderful, beautiful men, I am so glad you love and appreciate alopecia totalis women, we sure love and appreciate you!
My love to all of you ladies and gentlemen!!!!!!!!
This is Monique again. I am so sorry I gave you the impression I am always serious and religious, no I am not always religious, and I used to smoke, I gave it up, I never smoked that much, and I do have a drink occaisionally, but I don`t drink much or often. I am so small in size that two drinks practically get me drunk so maybe I will have only one drink or one glass of wine. I am not drinking now however, since I am pregnant. After my pregnancy I will have a drink once in a while. Neither Johan or myself are huge drinkers though.
No I like to have fun Carol. I love fashion, I go out and drink coffee or shop with my girlfriends, I sometimes watch movies with Johan, I sometimes even watch sports with him. Soccer is sort of fun to watch,ice hockey is a good sport but it is a little rough! American football is too rough and doesn`t interest me, neither does baseball or basketball. My favorite sport is ladies figure skating(of course). Johan`s daughters and neices like figure skating too, and one of Johan`s neices is an excellent figure skater(she is only 10, and skates beautifully!). And I love romantic movies, Johan likes crime dramas, but we usually can find some movies we both like and can watch together.
So I am not entirely religious or spiritual all the time. And I hope I have a sense of humour and can have a little fun too!
I am serious about what I discussed however, my desire to lead, basically, but not entirely,a religious life, is very important to me, it is a craving deep inside of me, it is part of who I am. And I also have a very strong desire to be permanently bald, for the sexual/sensual reasons as well as the spiritual/religious reasons I have described. And the Buddhist nuns are my role models, even though I am Christian by religion, I am Buddhist by philosophy and as a lifestyle thing as a bald woman devoted to submissiveness and humility!
And I love my husband and want to be a good wife and mother. That is the best I can explain myself Carol! Thanks again for writing Love,
Monique

It is fascinating what you write Monique, the buddhist women in taiwan really are something, they really are role models for all of us! you have expressed monique that you have always been shy, have you always been this religious! and i know you are pregnant now, but did you every smoke or drink or whatever, you just seem so pure, and i don`t mean that in a bad way, you are just so devoted to God and to Johan, which is great, admirable really, it is just unusual to meet people so devoted!
Best wishes Monique! Love, Carol
Johan

Hello again everyone, this is Monique writing to you again.
Bald Jennifer you are right to state that I will soon be joining you as a permanently bald woman, and this idea is not new to me. I first thought of it as a teenage girl, visualising myself in the role of Lt.Illia, played by Persis Khambatta in the first Star Trek movie, a woman who was sensous and spirituality evolved, of a bald species of people. Later after I first had my head shaved by my very close friend Cindy, the feelings became even stronger! Last summer I asked, and was allowed,to attend two meetings of alopecia women at the University of Minnesota. Many of these women had alopecia totalis, and everyone wore wigs, including me, at the meeting. I was so impressed with these beautiful bald women as they expressed their pain and suffering at being permanently bald, and also their love, joy, and courage! I felt their suffering and felt their love, and I wanted so much to be one of them, I wanted to hug them and hold them close to me, I wanted to be their loving sister, I wanted to feel everything they were feeling! Their humility so impressed me! It was then that I really decided I would have to find a way to have my head permanetly bald, as they were. I didn`t need hair and I didn`t want it.
If I was a Buddhist nun I might feel different. Every day the Buddhist nuns rise early meditate and pray and ritually shave each others heads. If I had my head shaved every morning by a Buddhist sister who loved me spiritually and gently shaved my head, and then I would gently shave her head, as an act of devotion, sacrifice, submissiveness and humility, I might not feel the need to have my hair permanently removed. I would be in a state of spiritual sacrifice, serenity and bliss, dedicated only to serving God and others, but I am married, with two step daughters and pregnant with a child, so I cannot be a nun. The permanently bald alopecia totalis women are to be my sisters, I will share their pain and joy!
But since I have been pregnant I have been wearing my Buddhist nuns robes that I bought in California and some of the robes here in Minnesota in the southeast Asian district. The Buddhist nuns robes are loose fitting and perfect maternity clothes, I have been wearing the robes around the house, and more recently outside as well, as I become bigger and more pregnant. I have some beautiful robes in saffron, orange and pink! I still love to wear my earrings and nose stud, and some Buddhist nuns do wear earrings or noserings, and I wear a little eye makeup. When I have my head hair removed by laser after my baby is born, I am also going to get permanent makeup, therefore never having to fuss with my hair or my makeup again, but rather concentrate on serving my husband, taking care of my baby, and reading, praying, meditating, and listening to music and doing a little artwork, in other words doing the things that are important to me and my family. I also plan on attending alopecia totalis meetings with my bald sisters and doing some volunteer work at my Christian church and at a local Buddhist temple.
The woman I admire most who is living today is a Buddhist nun named Cheng Yen. She lives in the far east in Taiwan. She is 65 years old(although she looks 40, not because she has had an easy life, she has had a hard life of sacrifice and service, but because she has so much inner peace, love and serenity, eats healthy, and is just very naturally beautiful). Cheng Yen became a Buddhist nun at age 23, had her head shaved and lived a life of poverty, celibacy, humility and sacrifice. In the early 1960s when Cheng Yen first became a nun, there was still a great deal of poverty, serious poverty in Taiwan, it was not as developed as it is today. Cheng Yen not only prayed, fasted and meditated on the poor and suffering, she went out and spent years convincing wealthy people and business people in Taiwan to donate money to a Buddhist charity she and some of the other nuns started. These beautiful sisters lead by Cheng Yen raised enough money not only for shelters and soap and rice kitchens, but also built a Buddhist elementary school and high school, a Buddhist college, a Buddhist nurse training school, and a hospital that served mainly the poor. The schools were also mainly for the poor! She then became a teacher and lecturer on the virtues of helping the underprivledged as well as the importance of meditation, prayer and humility. She wears only a Buddhist robe, no eye makeup, has her head shaved smooth and she is still one of the most beautiful people, inside and outside, that you have ever seen, and so are all of the nuns in her organization, they range in age from teenage girls to old women, and ages in between, and they are beautiful, serving each other, the monks and the greater society. Yet they are never arrogant always giving credit to God, knowing they must keep their feminine modesty, humility and submissiveness!
These women are my role models. I can serve my husband, my family and my community with their spirit, and even when I am giving myself to my husband physically it is love for him, and I love my husband so much, and also an act of devotion.
Yes you Jennifer, and the other beautiful women who have written in, I am one of you, and I am looking forward to being an alopecia totalis woman!
All of my love, so much love to you ladies! May God bless you, and peace and serenity be with you women! Sincerely;
Monique

Lovely Carol, Carol I have never asked you, I know you wear a wig at work but do you go out much bald! You seem very enthused and fired up about wearing your earrings and new nose stud with your bald look! Do you go out with your husband or girlfriends bald, or is it more a private thing with you, at home with your husband. Or at private small gatherings of people.

Yes Carol I would agree,your alopecia totalis is an advantage with jewelry! What looks good is a small gem in the nostril(especially a small diamond or lighter colored jewel), and long dangle earrings. Both my wife and myself love earrings, we both wear 14ct gold alot of course, but also turquiose and silver are nice. Long dangles or hoops, especially slender earrings, are both our preferences, although we both wear gold and diamond studs! Before my wife got pregnant we would sometimes go out both of us dressed in black. I would tie my long hair back in a ponytail with a black silk scarf, and would wear black jeans, a black sports coat, black boots and a lighter colored shirt, like powder blue. And I would wear long dangle 14ct gold earrings at least two inches long. My wife would shave her head before we went out and would either go bald or wear a black turban or headscarf and a little black dress with long 14ct gold dangle earrings similar to mine and a small diamond nosestud in her left nostril.And of course she wore nylons and black high heels! We would go out to a fancy dinner club,a s**** nightclub, an art gallery,or a symphony concert. We didn`t do this that often but it was fun to dress up in our best clothes with our unusual, and I believe stylish look. And my wife is so ultra- feminine, petite and pretty, I assure you she looked very very good! Have fun with your new jewelry beautiful Carol!

I wrote in on your ultra-short hair thread that I was going to get my nostril pierced like your wife has, well i did it today, i love it! i had my left nostril pierced and am wearing a little stainless steel stud. in three weeks i can take it out and wear any type of nose stud or nose ring i want! it really does compliment my bald head, and i also had my ears pierced again, so i now have two earrings in each ear and a pierced nostril!!!!!!
i am going shopping this weekend too with one of my girlfriends, looking for a new dress, something slinky and sexy!

Johan, Since it now appears that your wife Monique is going to have her head lasered permanently bald, she is going to have to write in to this thread as a new"voluntery Alopecia Totalis" woman! I am so happy for both of you knowing how much Monique wants to do this and how you have so elequently expressed your love for your wife and for bald women! I sincerely hope she decides to go through with it Johan, she sounded so excited and happy today writing on Sandy`s thread when she learned there was a safe way that she could have her hair removed by an expert woman! Best wishes, Bald Jennifer

Hi everyone, I am glad Johan that you appreciate us bald ladies so much. when i lost my hair initially in high school it was a big shock, but since then i have adjusted well to having alopecia universalis. I am married with a small boy and girl and i do everything that other women do; i work, figure skate, play tennis, read fashion magazines, go shopping, etc. alopecia women are no different than other women, we are just doing it bald! Good luck bald ladies!
