So I realized I didn't even ask the question, has anyone else itched their scalp really badly where inflammation was or what do you think about this?

I should also add that there were other places on my scalp I would itch and pick too but never any hair loss there

So I have a question to you all who have had inflammation, itching or both. Before I was diagnosed my scalp at the front would get itchy and scaly so occasionally I would end up picking the scaly skin off, I'm sorry if that is gross. What happened is that it would just get raw. My reasoning was that i thought i just had dandruff/dry scalp because that was what hairdressers and derms had said. So I thought if I got the scales off it would be better and go away, but obviously it just exacerbated it. Now I'm worried that maybe that picking actually made me lose hair. The loss is more on the left side and the inflammation scaling was usually more towards the right. Idk, I hate to think I may have actually caused more loss then I would have actually had if o had just not touched it. Also , when I would pick I was careful and never pulled any hair out and hair never just fell out after that I noticed.

Liz did you get it at Lucinda Ellery? It looks like a great system, but they only have two US locations. I was trying to find other places that have a similar system, but haven't had any luck yet.

Today I had an intralace system. It took about 6 hours. I now have hair covering my bald patch. The system stays in place for 2 years with adjustments every 2 months. It feels like a lot of hair! I'm hope/sure I will get used to it.

My pieces are very small.  approx 2 inches by 1/4 inches above forehead and 

 1 1/4  inches by 1/4 inch on the right temple (areas where I've lost the most hair).  I use a tiny piece of blue roll tape on each end of the hair piece and one small piece of tape in the middle of the hairpiece.  There are lots of different tapes.  The one that lasts a month or more for me is a blue roll from Hair Direct (I don't know the name of the tape).

They clip in.  There is a base and clips around the edges.  A qualified hair replacement (wigs, pieces, etc.) stylist should be able to style the piece and fit it to blend in with your existing style, etc.  In my case I have fairly short hair and the piece has a heavier front bang with a pixieish layed top and back and sides blending into mine.  I am conscious about keeping the colors close as I color my hair.  Also, sometimes I need to "backcomb" (they used to call it teasing) my hair where the clips fit in as I feel it holds it better.  Anyone who knows I wear it really cannot tell and comment on how great it is.  I like it most of the time.  Sometimes I feel like it looks awkward, but that is just my own insecurity, I think.  the stylist will teach you how to take care of the piece in terms of washing etc.  My "good" one is real human hair, with synthetics for exercise, sun, just at home, etc.  It is a lot to take care of, but for me, worth it.
