Olympic cyclist [and fellow Alopecian] Joanna Rowsell has won a gold medal!

‘Then cycling came along and I applied the same work ethic. I worked through any worries I had about my hair and I focused solely on that. It made me who I am.’

Here's a good article you should check out:

I was really happy to hear about Joanna Rowsell winning the gold!  WHAT AN INSPRIATIONAL WOMAN, in so many ways.  I love this.

I bet it will help to bring more awareness and understanding to the public about Alopecia, which is great for everyone out there who's got it.

In other news, my hair has continued to steadily thin out in front/on the crown of my head.  Still no real patches, so my fingers are crossed it'll start to slow down and grow back!  I'll take new photos to share in my next blog post.

Sometimes I think about what I'll do if I lose big patches again like before....I'd definitely shave my head.  Or shave parts of it and leave other chunks long, depending on what was gone.  And I'd dye the long parts that are left weird colors.  ala Tank Girl.  haha :)  If it happens, I think I would actually have a lot of fun with it.  But for now I am happy it's been doing so well and sticking around, and I really like the sort of flapper-ish haircut I have going on.  Goodnight!
