Hello!I was wondering if anyone has been tested for food allergies to determine if a particular food is causing inflammation, which in turn could exacerbate FFA. I had the skin test a couple of years ago at an allergy clinic, and it came back…Continue

Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Hi Norfolk Girl
If you can get to Richmond I recommend Sara Woolhead. I had mine eyebrows tattooed there and I love them xx
Brenda - sorry I'm late in responding but congrats on your new beautiful hair! I have to share a story from this morning...
I had to pick up someone from a surgical center this morning. When I checked at the front desk to pick the person up, the lady at the desk said "Wow! I LOVE your HAIR!" I smiled and said thank you. She then said "Is it natural?" which took me by surprise for a sec thinking she meant 'is it my own hair'...then I realized she was talking about the natural curl. :) I said, "Absolutely - all natural curls!" It made me feel so good inside!
So...said patient was hungry so we went to get breakfast. An older gentleman and his wife were behind us in line and he piped up and said "I really like your hair. It's fantastic!" I was like, wow, and this guy is standing there with his wife - awkward! BUT again I smiled and said 'thank you so much!'.
Yesterday, a faculty member and I passed in the hall and he said "I really like what you've done with your hair."
I felt like this was God's way of hugging me today. I haven't been complimented on my hair in at least a decade. I've been in hiding for four years since the receding and hair loss started. Today, my confidence is way up because now I'm not constantly thinking "whose looking at my hair?" and "can they see how bald I am?" or worrying about every little breeze that blows by.
For me, getting a bonded hair piece was the BEST decision I've made in regards to my FFA. I'm so grateful!!!
