    Hi Lynn,

    I know your pain, My daughter is 14 and has lost all her hair, eye lashes and brows included. Thirty yrs ago I was that girl , lost my hair and have lived to support my daughter going through the same. Best cure is acceptance although a bitter pill to take. My eldest daughter also has AA and she choses to have steriod injections in the paches that appear, painful but they give her something to hope for, she is 21 and emotionally it is harder on her than myself and younger daughter that have no hair at all. WE both wear wigs and I can say Sophie is stronger than what I am but together we have a special bond that only people with alopecia can understand. good luck

    Hi Lynn, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter, I know how rough this can be. A lace front piece has just that...a piece of lace that is on the front of the wig that blends right into your forehead so you can wear a no bang style and have it look very natural. You can get both synthetic pieces and human hair pieces made this way. check out wigs.com, and look at the Jon Renau lace front wigs. They have videos on most of the wigs that they sell that will show you the construction and you can see exactly what they mean by lace front. And they are one of the few online places that has a decent return policy. I am not an expert, but there are plenty of people on here that might have suggestions for resources in your area if you need to look at some options in person. I know what and emotional ride this is, I too had amazing long thick blonde hair and was so sad to lose it. Best to you and your daughter, Kristy
