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

Great news for PJ that her FFA has stopped! Lucky you, I am so pleased for you. It`s what all of us would like to hear, so it gives us hope.
Congratultions PJ. I am delighted for you.
Can you confirm what you did? Was it just steriod injections? Did you use any supplements eg turmeric etc..
I saw my Derm Dr today. She had some unbelievable news for me. She said my FFA has stopped!!. Hard to believe when you feel like your hair is thinner and your scalp still itches. She said that is because regrowth will take some time and my scalp is going back to "normal". I guess she based this on no inflammation or redness, something with the hair follicles and the hair regrowth. I requested copies of my medical records to make sure I understood correctly everything she was saying and to see again that she really said that. She was running late on apts and in a hurry, so didn't get to talk to her long. I do think I got treatment early which must have helped. I did not take a lot of meds that a lot of you on this website are using. I do think the steroid injections were a big help. I didn't get to ask if FFA can return, does anyone here know? Hopefully she is right and I'm done with this! So don't give up everyone - there is hope. I'll keep you posted if something changes.
Maddy - at the top of the page on the right hand side you will see your name - beneath that - click onto settings and upload a photo that you will have stored on your computer. This will appear when you write a post instead of the blue/blank sihouette you have there now - hope this helps.
Hi Jen,
No, not too much to ask at all :). She just opened a new studio called "Wig and Hair Therapy Studio in Newport Beach, CA. She worked for many years at "Wiggin Out" salon, also in NB. She was the main person that did the wigs and hairpieces there, but it was not her own salon. Anyway, now she has her own. You can look at the Wiggin Out Hairpiece videos on that site...that is her in the videos. Anyway, you can see some of the hair pieces here:http://www.wiggin-out-salon.com/Hairpieces---Hair-Pieces.html.
I bought two hair pieces from her and they are beautiful, but I haven't done much with them yet. It takes time in the beginning to get used to putting them on and styling them and all that. I haven't taken the time to do it yet. I think I will give her a call and set up a consultation (which comes free with a hairpiece/wig purchase). If I knew how to post a picture on this site, I'd take photos of mine and put them up. I will try to figure that out.
Hi Maddy,
This may be too much to ask but does the ex-wig maker have a site with pictures of her work? I am interested in seeing her partial pieces.
Regards,
Jen.
