Hi Chris! Sorry you have FFA but welcome to the site. I'm pretty new here too.

Hello and welcome!

How are you today?

Leslie Ann

Thanks for the quick response.  You said you lost two inches - but still are able to pull off "wearing" your own hair. I hate to ask - but is there any way you could send a picture of your hairstyle?  I am trying my best to figure out a cut that will work w/ my loss.  I've lost about an inch & 1/2 above my ears and at temples - and it is pushing back on the front hairline as well.  I have managed w/out a hair "piece", but really would like to see other styles to give me piece of mind - or just some ideas.  Your help would be appreciated.  Do you mind?  Thank you.  This was me in March... I actually had a decent hair day... I have a shorter bob cut, but it is getting harder at the bang area to hide...   443071.JPG

Yes, I am in Pittsburgh.  Great town.  I laughed at your "yins" comment.  Hilarious.  Your pictures are quite cute... you really "camouflage" the hair loss really well.  I am taking Plaquenil and doing the shots... Don't love it, but thought I'd try for a year.  I've been losing hair for over 4 years... mostly above my ears and temples... now pushing back at hairline.  I often wonder why some people's hair loss starts at the front hairline, and moves down towards the temples, while others starts above ears, and moves up toward temples and front hairline... Odd.  I'm still able to hide it for the most part... but I do glue in two small pieces above my ears... which gives me a little more "boost" where the loss is.  Did you say you lost 2 inches in 2 years? 

First of all, you have a beautiful face - awesome cheekbones, big soulful eyes, nice lips. I have AU and finally got my eyebrows tattooed by a top notch permanent cosmetic artist. Makes a big difference. I used to do the pencil, too, but it was uneven day after day. I lost 40 pounds on Weight Watchers, use light makeup, wear earrings and sometimes I think I look pretty cute.

you can enjoying the variety of wigs.

Chris,

first of all, I would kill for your cheekbones. That being said, my coping mechanisms:

I go through the net to see if there are any new things out for bald women. I am not completely bald, just very sketchy.

I also had very dark hair that I loved. However, you could really see all the baldness so I have sort of a dark blonde/red cover now which basically doesn't look that good. I bought a 3/4 one piece of extension and that really helps. I know that getting upset every day was not good for me.  I have my up days and my bad face.
