I tended to keep to the same hairdresser, so I didn't have to have the "thin hair" conversation every time I went in. But when I took my little guy for a cut at a new hairdresser, she asked me if I had alopecia. I knew I had female pattern baldness, my own diagnosis, but didn't know it was a form of alopecia. I'm so glad she suggested I see a doctor for it.
What I need now is a good stylist who can cut a wig!

new stylist + new found awareness of thin hair + pending haircut = very nervous Kate

I need some advice from fellow diffused thinning sufferers. How do you style your hair. What are the pros and cons of your cut, and how has short hair aided and abated, or worsened, your hairstyle and your self image? Is anyone willing to share photos? And finally, any tips or advice for working with a stylist on this thinning issue?

Hi ladies. I am dying to know how many of you have resorted to shaving your heads, and what your experience has been. I am becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of buzzing my hair down to a super short fuzz and wearing scarves and hats and maybe even wigs (undecided on the wigs part). But, what I really want to know is how FPB top thinning looks with a short buzz (If at all possible I want to avoid the look of male pattern baldness, for my husband's sake). So, if any of you buzz or shave please contact me with a message. I would really value your experience and advice. Thanks! - Kate

Hi Eba, I had this problem before as well and boy was I sensitive. What brang me relief was switching shampoo and condtioner and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I use Alchohol free shampoo- organic actually and free of Sulfites (which is horrible on the scalp) it is enriched with Plant Proteins, Ginseng and Chamomile- to help calm my scalp. Its made by J/A/S/O/N and is called Biotin Shampoo. I think that it might also have a lavendar oil in it that helped me with my Seb . derm which was also ALSO a factor in my sensitivity. So overall I am still sensitive but no half as much! I also make sure to massage my scalp every now and again in an effort to desensitize it and it brings me relief. On weekends I also make sure to clip it in the opposite direction from my usual part- if I have to clip it at all. Hope this helps sweety, and good luck:D

I too have this pain all the time, it's like my head is reminding me that my hair is thin. But I've lost my hair a long time ago, it's been 15 years or more when my hair stopeed thinning, because it could not thin anymore. But the pain is still there, when I brush my hair or when I try to change the part. Also I had to switch to full wigs instead of hair pieces for years now, because I cannot attach anything to my head. I thought I was doing something wrong, I'm surprised to know that others have felt this too. Although I am really sorry guys that anyone feels that pain, sometimes it drives me mad.

I'm sorry to hear that other people have pain, but feel a sense of vaildation that I'm not the only one. There doesn't seem to be much acknowledgement of the burning sensation, the feeling that someone is sticking a pin in spots on top of your head or pain with brushing or trying to change the part. I have felt all of those things! And have been disbelieved!

I'm really weird about the things I do to my hair because I am afraid I cause more to fall out..but I guess now I don't have to worry so much. I'll have to look around at target for soft ones, I do love them (:

I'm going to look up that shampoo, too..have you ever tried Nioxin? I had the supplements once, but they were basically a multivitamin and they were 20 bucks..so I switched to prenatal vitamins..they seem to make my hair grow faster, but not thicker..

The pain is so irritating because it is a constant reminder that my hair is falling out. I like wearing headbands, but I am afraid because I feel like I'm causing more hair to fall out because of the pain. I wonder if there is anything a doctor can do for it. My hair texture has also changed a lot..it's getting increasingly more and more coarse and dry. I'm really self conscious about it.
