WANTED: Are you the next Pretty Bald Blogger?

The Pretty Bald blog is growing and we're in need of some more bloggers, case studies and real-life stories; could you be the next guest poster, interviewee or regular columnist?

At the moment we have four bloggers (Myself, Jen, Kayleigh and Danielle) and we all happen to have Alopecia! We're now looking for individuals with other types of hairloss to tell us their stories or to become a regular columnist. We're also looking for Hairloss experts to write one-off blog posts.

Got what it takes? Please email us to tell us about yourself and apply...

Want to be a regular blogger? You will:
- have something interesting and unique to say
- suffer from a short or long-term Hairloss condition; at the moment, we're not looking for female alopecians (although we're of course happy to consider you) - our followers are asking for people with chemotherapy hairloss, trichotillomania, female pattern baldness, male alopecians, male pattern baldness and other forms of hairloss. We're getting emails asking for insights to support these conditions
- be able to commit to a minimum of one blog post per month, preferably more
If you don't have hairloss, but are an expert in a specific field, we'll also be happy to consider you!

Want to be a case study / real life story?
Please send us an email with some information about you... Some pictures would be great too and we'll email you back with any additional questions we need answering. We'll then write it up and post it out on the blog!

The reason?
We're working to make Pretty Bald a unique resource that offers support and advice through real-life experiences, not just expert opinion. Through this, we hope to support others, and also work to change perceptions within society, making it easier to thrive in spite of these conditions, not just hide and hope for a cure!

The reward?
Initially, we're working to raise as much money for charity as possible, so this is a voluntary opportunity; long-term however, our bloggers will benefit from free products to review and hopefully some other exciting things too!

If you do have anything else you want to contribute or of course want to see us write about,  please let us know! There's a lot of exciting things coming up and we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy writing it!

New blogger time! Say hello to Danielle who's not far into her Alopecia Totalis journey...

We're really pleased to announce that Pretty Bald is growing, and as well as myself (Victoria), Jenny and Kayleigh, we have a new blogger joining the team; meet Danielle!

Danielle has always had Alopecia Areata, however it is now progressing towards Alopecia Totalis as she loses more and more hair. Up until now, her Alopecia Areata has been treated with steroid injections in her scalp and she has sported long, curly, auburn hair which covered the patches.

She is a singer and dancer, training professionally at the world-famous Italia Conti theatre school; she says singing is a way of life, and has not long returned from a singing contract in Cyprus. Her next position will be in Devon in the UK enabling her to become a Pretty Bald blogger.

Speaking to her of her alopecia, she says it began falling out in earnest in January and she's watching it lessen day-by-day. She has plans to shave it off tomorrow (wish her luck everyone) and stop her looking quite so much (in her words) like Gollum; she's hoping to post her first blog about it too! Her ambition for participating in this blog is to help raise awareness and inspire and if she can help just one person come to terms with their hairloss, she'll know she's done a good job!

Welcome to the team Danielle! In the meantime, here is her favourite picture of her natural hair!


Don't forget; if you are suffering from any kind of hairloss and want to tell your story OR become a regular blogger, please email us!
