Thanks, MJ.

Annie, Yes. She said I can use color over all but the frontal area affected by ffa. She said highlights are ok in the ffa area because they are wrapped in foil and do not get on the scalp.

MJ, I have a question regarding your doctor's advice about coloring hair.  Does she recommend using foil highlights with no additional color in the areas affected by ffa?  My hairdresser does a weave with foil highlights, then uses a color over my entire head followed by a toner at the end to make the highlights appear more natural.

Debs, I may be wrong but I believe you are using Tumeric essential oil and Rogaine 5% foam and if so, which do you apply first?

Has anyone ever experienced regrowth in areas where they have lost hair? Regrowth that has remained?

Celia. Many of my friends have FFA but that doesn't mean that I want them reading my personal posts on this site. Also if our photographs are out there on the internet then we have no control over how they are used x

Liz, I have known for a long time how accessible the forum is. Initially I found it scary too and a very long time ago - I made comment on that.  I haven't told any people in the UK about my FFA.  If I do then it will be because I totally trust them not to make FFA the way I am defined.  But I do think that when people/friends are told what the problem is - there is no going back.  If you've shared your problem with friends, then you've done so because you trust them.  Nobody is just going to randomly research FFA and find you/us.  x

Celia. I appreciate that if this group were private nobody would be able to find it. This group is a great place for information and support and therefore is invaluable. It was just a bit scary that when I searched FFA on google posts and pictures from this group appeared in the search. Perhaps we could use this forum alongside our one on Facebook. Posts on the Facebook page can only be seen by members of the group and members have to be invited in order to join.

If you check out Dr. Weil's website, you will see a Q & A on a new treatment for hair loss. It describes the research being done to inject stem cells into the head to grow new hair follicles. This is what my doctor told me about. It describes the process if you are interested in knowing more about it. You don't have to join to read the Q & A library on the site.

Hi Liz - I share your concern about the FFA group being easily accessible and for that reason I haven't told anyone I know that I communicate on this forum.  Unfortunately if the group could be made private, that would preclude new members finding us.

I hope you're getting on OK. x
