I’ve been using a new hair product  that I like a lot. It’s Living Proof, PHD (Perfect Hair Day) 5 in 1 Styling Treatment. It saves me from having to use conditioner in the shower, it detangler and gives a bit of volume too-especially to the bad hair that is like straw on the ends. 

My wee pixie just needs a tiny pea sized amount before I blow dry my hair. Just thought I’d share! :)

Christi Q.,, my derm suggested I use Rogaine on my eyebrows. She suggested to use a q-tip but I just dab it on with my finger. I think it works OK. I still have eyebrows not like I used to but I get by. I don't use Clobetabsol I am on Tacrolimus ointment 0.1 percent.

Christi Q Yes I have used it & still am since October.  After 6-7 weeks I stopped losing hair .  Went to the derm & she was pleased, I am now down to using 3 times a week until I see her again in May.  I originally posted a more detailed message but it wouldn’t post for some reason.

Hello all!  Went to a new derm today (didn't like my old one).  I am already on Dutasteride and Minoxidil, but she is going to add CLOBETASOL PROP 0.05% SOLN 25ML  .  She said to just rub it in over my Minoxidil.  Have any of you used this?  Also, I have lost my eyebrows over the past year.  She told me to start putting the Minoxidil on my eyebrows (tiny dab).  Has anyone done this?  If that works, I sure wish my old derm would have suggested that before I lost all my brows!

Hi Rachel and everyone,

I live in Nantes - not exactly on the border : (. I will be in Reims tomorrow for the ceremony for my BIL. A bit closer. If you come to Paris or get further west, let me know! We will be heading to Prague and Budapest next summer... it would be nice to see each other, agreed : ). Thank you for the blogging, Sally...

Sally, your blog post is just beautiful!  Thank you so much for sharing that with us!  What a wonderful read to help us as we all adjust to our new normal. And your new wig is incredible, as are your fantastic boots!

Minter, your hair cut sounds fab, I'd love to see a pic of something similar.  I have never had short hair in my life so the thought of it scares me more than a little.  I just don't think it would suit me, I'm a tall gal with swimmers shoulders (never actually did that much swimming but people have always asked if I was a swimmer).  Well maybe I can get away with my long hair for a while yet and then do headbands.  I am also very interested in bonding with contact skin, something which seems to be popular amongst men. Here in Germany I found a salon in Hamburg that have specialised in it.

Has anybody had experience with this type of hair piece?  I would be interested to hear your views on such hair systems.

Keep well and btw @Halfbakedwho, I really have thought about you a lot the last days and my thoughts are with you and your family.  I was also wondering where abouts in France you live, do you happen to live in the north east.  I was thinking how exciting it would be to get a European continent meeting going. Even if we only met up every few years.  Well it's just a pro active thought but who knows?

I have not posted in a while, but I have learned so much from all of you.  I recently wrote a blog post about my journey with FFA and hair loss, I am sharing it here with you.  We are all in this together, and that helps us on our way. https://sallysbloggingspot.blogspot.com/2018/02/life-lessons-learne...

Same here, thank heavens for our "virtual" group! I'd be lost without my daily check-in, I do know I would have no idea how to handle this without you all :-) 

Afraid, I echo Halfbakedwho, please don't blame yourself- we have done nothing to cause this to happen to us, it is just the luck of the draw, yay and to repeat the above, it is lucky that we have each found this group to support each other! 

Illustrated8R, I love my "grown out" pixie look- I've had a super short pixie in the past, but I much prefer this, having one that is longer is much easier for sure. I use my hair color powder on my sides & part and then  "glue" down the sides- they are so pretty, (if I may say so myself haha)! a long curl swooping down on each side of my face- love it! Though I've learned to wait until my hair is dry to do the gluing or else they look glued down :-/

Thanks...I love your take on things! I already feel more positive.  

I think the blame is for being too anxious and stressed about significant life events for a sustained period of time... people say stress is a trigger... if only I had cared less?!  Haha.  

Thank heavens for our ‘virtual’ group x
