In 2005, when Jah'Leah was seven years old, we noticed that
her hair was falling out in the back of her head above her
hairline. The more we combed her hair, the more visible the
hair loss. Jah'Leah has a history of eczema. During a visit
to her dermatologist, Jah'Leah was diagnosed with Alopecia
Areata. Initially the dermatologist treated her with topical
steroid creams, however the disease had progressed and her
hair began to fall out in other areas of her head. When the
dermatologist determined that the topical treatments were
not working, she started Jah'Leah on a more progressive
treatment plan, which included steroid injections applied
directly to the affected areas. The treatment continued for
several months with no improvement. Jah'Leah's hair began to
come out by the handfuls. We were then referred to an
Alopecia specialist. At this point, Jah'Leah had lost all of
her hair. The specialist offered a specific diagnosis of
Alopecia Totalis.
A treatment plan was prescribed and tried for
several months, again with no improvement. We were referred
to another specialist who worked primarily with severe hair
loss. We began to see steady improvement, Jah'Leah's hair
began to grow back but unfortunately again we were dealt a
devastating blow, the specialist closed his practice in
December of 2008. Jah'Leah was very upset and depressed
about losing what seemed to be her only source of progress
and hope.
At wits end, a friend referred us to
Elizabeth Ashley Invisible Lace Wigs where she had purchased
Jah'Leah's first wig. It was a tremendous boost to
Jah'Leah's self esteem, she began smiling again, became more
confident and was more comfortable in social situations.
Before we discovered Elizabeth Ashley, we were purchasing
wigs on a monthly basis from the local beauty supply store.
With the durability of the Elizabeth Ashley Invisible Lace
Wigs, we have found a solution that has brought tremendous
joy to my daughter, it melts my heart to see my daughter
happy and confident again! We greatly appreciate your
kindness!
Thank You Elizabeth Ashley!
