Hi Jen, the hairpieces I've ordered are fixed with wig tape but it's similar to a wound dressing apparently, allowing the skin to breathe so the hairpiece can stay in place for prolonged periods.

Liz,

I just checked the Trendco site and saw Vesta. Is this the one you use?  It looks like it would do the job.  I will see if I can get something like that here. thanks so much.

Hi MJ, It is a relief that I do not suffer from the symptoms but at the same time I cannot tell when I need to see the doctor.

Liz, Are the clips hard on your hairline?   Does your piece look like bangs or some other types. I live in Canada and will go to the hairpiece shops here. I purchased some fake bangs at the mall but they did not match so I believe that I need something better.

Jen, inam like you as I have no symptoms either. I am very thankful for that, however it is impossible for me to tell if I am active or not. I was wondering how the front hair pieces work foe someone with fine hair...seems like clips would be hard to hide.

Jen. I have a hair piece which I bought from Trendco for about £50. It clips in and covers where my hair has gone. I love it! I can forget I have it in. It blends in with my hair. My son said to his friend last week 'Look at my mums new wig' and his friend said 'what wig'. It does exactly what I need it to do. x

Hi Jules,

Thank you for your reply.  Would I be presumptuous to ask if you can post pictures of the 2 hairpieces before you attach them? I am thinking that pictures after you attach them is too much to ask.  It would be a really good thing if we can figure out a solution to the hairline so we can feel normal again.  For now, I may just need to work on the edges with small hairpieces and clever hairstyling. I am not ready for a wig.

 

My FFA has absolutely no symptoms. No itch or pain or inflammation. I just lose the hair in the shower.  Sometimes  I may see 4 or so baby hairs on my desk which look like the ones on my hairline.

Jen, I've ordered 2 hairpieces just as you describe. They're from Pam's hairdresser in Cheltenham but they're not ready yet. They should be OK to leave in situ and survive washing, drying, swimming etc.... That's the plan anyway. I'll let you know.
Re the posts about how to tell when FFA is active, I find that the "doll's head hair" appears plus some mild itching or that "crawling" sensation occurr. I have it at the moment and my front hairline has receded by about a cm in places. Looking a bit chewed! Hey ho!

Hi Everyone,

I was looking on line at the lace hairpieces for sideburns and wondered if this (cut to fit)  would be a solution for areas around the face where the hairline has receded. I am also wondering if anyone has tried any small hairpiece attachment and was satisfied. 

Warm regards,

Jen.

Debs - I've been following your eyebrow tattoos information with interest as I'm now thinking of having it done. (I find that penciling in my eyebrows every day and checking all the time to make sure they are OK is a real bore).  You seem to have had a great success with your tattoos but there's no way I can get to your lady in Chertsey so I guess I will have to look around Edinburgh and see if I can find somebody good up here.  How long did your tattoos last?  Did it hurt and do you know if there is any qualifications that I should look for in a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooist?   I'd be really grateful for any info.

Very happy, had my eyebrows topped up this morning, had semi permanent makeup last January, still looked nice but the tattoo fades a little and you do need to get them topped up. I want back to the fantastic Belinda Hayle in Chertsey, Surrey. She has worked wonders again. Thoroughly recommend Belinda to any ladies that want to stabalise the appearance of eyebrows/eyelashes. It's a huge confidence boost.
