Hey everyone! Just thought I would make this post to document not only for myself but for others out there looking for anyone else going through something similar to what they are going through. I got diagnosed with AA when I was 21. Within 4 months, I lost all my hair. 10 months later, all my hair grew back and I had a cute little pixie cut! 4 months later my hair began falling out again and within 4 months, I lost all my hair again. Within 4 months, I was rocking a pixie cut again! 7 months later, my hair started falling out again. It’s now 4 months in to the current fall out and my hair is coming out in clumps. Bracing for another full loss. But hoping to regain all my hair back again. It seemed to last a lot longer this time and take a lot longer to fall out this time, maybe that’s a good sign. 

If I do lose my hair this would be my THIRD total loss and possible THIRD full regrowth in 3 and 1/2 years. I’ve had identity issues constantly switching from one hair style to another, pixie cuts that I love to wigs that I hate. I just graduated from college and have to start looking for a job and am constantly stressing about what to do for my hairstyles as I absolutely hate the way I look in a wig. I’ve tried many from custom made to wig store cheap wigs. Nothing looks as good as your normal hair. But alas, this is my life. I don’t understand it and never will but can only hope for new medicine in the future that can help me. I do feel like some of the best years and best moments of my life have been taken from me as I am not even looking forward to getting married (because I’ll have to be wearing a wig that just feels fake) or having kids (in fear of passing this terrible condition on to them). Sorry for being negative just wanted to get some stuff off my chest! 

Thanks for listening!!!

Good day to you, I am really happy to hear that you had success in regrowing your hair. Very good experience that I might want to come back to when I feel demotivated or down. Perhaps now you might be interested in some new haircuts here that will further help in emphasizing the positive moments of your work and hide any remaining imperfections.

Thank you for your advice. You have shown very good work. How do you like these haircuts? What do you think?

Try Xeljanz, it really works!

very difficult to restore hair

I have also been recovering my burnt hair after straightening for a long time. First, I picked up a hairstyle on burgundy hair https://lovehairstyles.com/burgundy-hair-shades/  Then I cut off the ends of my hair. And improved their appearance cosmetically. Before each shampoo, I applied a few drops of oil to the ends of the hair for 5 minutes and applied the shampoo to the scalp, not to the ends of the hair.
