Alopecia is a disease that causes all of your hair to fall out.  Sometimes genetic, sometimes caused by stress.

Thanks Robocop What can you say but sometimes they can get their hair back. Was there someone else that lost thier hair but got it back? Princes something or other.

Thanks for the info and the links....  I had never heard of her until now. She's very cute, and I think she looks amazing in the very first picture posted. She's got such a pretty face that I'm sure she'd look just as amazing bald.....

I've recently read a brand name medicine better known as Tagament is being studied as a hair loss cure.

The chemicals in Tagament apparently as researchers have discovered inhibits bad chemicals from detroying the hair follice and shaft.

It has been tested on woman with promising results.

Whether or not it helps Alopecia from stress has yet to be seen.

But for anyone suffering Alopecia, I would suggest looking into or asking your docter about anti infammatory drugs, anythign that supresses the immune system in this case is actually a good thing, and could cause the hair loss to reverse.

Princess Carolyn of Monoco had a problem a few years ago but her hair did indeed grow back. 

 

Change is good for the soul and fun to talk about!

Even in the UK Gail was always something of a  C-List celebrity. She should make the most of becoming bald, it could actually set her apart from the rest, something she could not have achieved otherwise. Plus, she looks great.

Actually even if you don't know who she is, you have to admit the transformation is somewhat drastic. Personally, I don't think it's worked.

It's such a shame. She broke up with her partner and she is devastated and is struggling to cope with her daughter and seeing her husband with someone else. She has being getting treatment in a clinic for depression. She also tried to comit suicide!!

I really do feel for her. She is beautiful and a really nice person. My cousin suffers from alopechia and it's never grown back!

You're right - I'm a bit confused.  I've managed to find a pic, so people can judge for themselves.

It's not her fault - she's just tried to make something of a bad situation. She doesn't like it herself but though if i'm going bald then what the hell!!

She has a really great face, though, with those giant eyes and everything, so I think she would be able to pull off being completely bald.
More awesome than a manatee!

Very sad. Read somewhere that she's got a black belt in karate too!
