A NOTE ABOUT THE HAIR FOLLICLE:
Hair follicles are extremely tough and robust. They are able to take multiple insults and despite being disrupted by the immune cells, the hair follicle are capable to regenerate given the right conditions (subject of research), even after many years of insults/punishment.
The fact about hair follicle mentioned above has been a driving force for the search of a cure for Alopecia areata and it is also an explanation why some patients will have their hair back after many years of being afflicted by Alopecia areata.
So, do not be discouraged and keep your head high!
