Hey!  I was diagnosed with FPB in July and I have been really quiet about it.  I shaved my hair in October, but it has grown back and is mostly see through at the crown and top.  I have been reading about the laser therapy getting fda approval and I want a laser comb for Christmas.  They are just so expensive.  Anyone else tried it?

This is such a quiet group of ladies. :) Any chance I can rile you all into some converstaion, about hair or other things...? What are you asking Santa for this Christmas. I am asking for a new yoga mat, and maybe some earrings.

Hi ladies. I just wanted to swing in and say hello, and offer a bit of thanks during this season. Over the summer, when I fully realized the extent of my hair loss, I was feeling devastated and overwhelmed. I had no idea what to do or where to go to help me with my emotions. Then I found this site, and the process of seeing so many women with all states of hairloss sharing in my feelings, and thriving and enjoying life with all states of hair felt so meaningful. It has made all the difference in coming to terms and being able to see myself as a successful and beautiful person with or without hair, and at every state in between. So thank you.

Susan, TY I only just now noticed your reply. I have never really had thick hair or brows. In the last couple of years have had at quite a few thyroid tests, I am not sure how extensive they were...I've tried all kinds of medications and vitamins etc. I even had a hysterectomy three yrs ago, because of fibroids and low ferratin/iron levels. Right now I feel like all they are doing is "practicing" medicine....

Do any of you who have been diagnosed with AGA or FPB have thinning eyebrows? My right brow is almost all but gone. I have never really had nice thick brows. I am wondering if this is part of the Female Alopecia or maybe I am developing another type?

I am coming up on my 29th birthday this week and starting to feel old. I pulled through some old college and early 20's photos and felt nostalgic, especially for all that fabulous hair! Who would have guessed I would be dealing with thinning hair so young. But then again, I realize youthful beauty is fleeting for everyone, whether it is loosing our firm thighs and bellies with age (and maybe motherhood), acquiring laugh lines and fine wrinkles, dealing with graying hairs, or like me experiencing early hair loss. So in many ways my experience is not exclusive or solitary. And of course, changes in appearance over time reflect great growth and development inside. I would not trade my life experiences for a youthful appearance. So this week, I will welcome by birthday and my age and even do my best to accept the hair loss. As my dad says with every birthday "Hey, it beats the alternative!"

A thanks to the supporters on this site for your support in reaching (and maintaining) these healthy perspectives. It means so much to have a community of like minded, sympathetic, and motivating supporters.

Hi, I am new to AW. I have AGA or FPB. I got fed up with not being able to do anything with what I had left, shaved it off Sunday down to an 1/8". I don't hardly have any (hair) but my head isn't quite completely smooth. I have a nice tan on the top of my head. I am wearing a wigs when I am out in public, I didn't have enough hair for topper/extensions etc..So I thought what the heck? I am new to all this, but not battling thin hair. It is almost somewhat of a relief to not be shedding anymore of what I had left....

Comment to Kate on question below re: shaving your head or buzz cutting it...My personal opinion that is only correct for ME personally is....My FPB is diffuse, the nape is totally gone ...so how do I style my hair?? Let's see...I don't...I just wash carefully, dry carefully, comb out carefully, and go...I am afraid to even attempt to do anything to my hair lest I lose more of it..Sad, right? I cut off some almost monthly, but cannot go really short, as...nape is gone..I imagine if it thinned alot more, I would be tempted to just cut it really really short..but I don't think I could ever buzz it totally ...unless I had the most gorgeous vacumm wig and wanted to wear it exclusively. I don't want to see myself in the mirror like that, so even thin as it is, I am grateful for what I still have left, and pray every night it grows back in...prayer never could hurt, right? Or at least that I retain what I still have
