003 Interview of Melanie Moyer, creator of HerHair.com and co-administrator of the facebook group, Alopecia Areata - a podcast by Pam Fitros

In this episode, Melanie and I discuss stress as a trigger of hair loss. Should children be pushed into wearing wigs by parents who want to protect them?

What is it like to be a bald little girl? What happens through the years of elementary, junior high and high school? Does wearing a wig make you less self conscious of hair loss or more?

The relief and freedom of taking off the wig. The benefits of bald. Creating outreach and support. Dispelling myths. Giving parents the information they need to best support their children.

Top 3 tips for coping with hair loss.

1. Build strong supportive close relationships and detach from toxic relationships.

2. Let go of social norms.

3. Accept that there will be some days when all you can do is just hang on, and when those days come, give yourself a break.
