    Hey Karen,
    Great pics. I think you look great with a shaved head. Thanks for the posts. The hairpiece has been great so far...A real confidentce booster. Hope you are still having regrowth...yeay!

    Nice to hear from you, and great about your regrowth. I'm still not confident with my baldness after 13 months, and still keep hoping it will suddenly start sprouting, but only on my head! I'm pretty useless with my wig and keep throwing on a hat, which is okay in winter, but gets a bit tedious. Going on my "honeymoon/2nd anniversary"to Phuket in Sept. and the hair thing is a bit of a downer. Never mind, I'm thinking I might get confident enough to bare all over there. I'm a teaching asst. so like to keep my head covered at school as yr 7 & 8s can be less than tactful at times! Keep in touch

    HI Karen,
    SO sorry for the delayed reply, I haven't been on here in far too long!
    Exciting to see another person in Wellington! I'm 24 and lost all of my hair about a year ago (AU), no sign of any regrowth for me unfortunately but it's very cool to know that other people have had some luck!
