Hi Rebecca, My names Rachael and I have AA as well and I too dyed my hair all the time (My dad told me when I was 16 that all that shit I put on my hair would make it fall out) I reminded him of that, and I tell you there is nothing more fun than having your parent feel dreadful and guilt ridden. Its amazing what they will do for you!!! But all jokes aside dying you hair didn't do this! Its just one of those F@#ked up thing that happen. My hair fell out within 6months just over 2.5 years ago, and I have tried every dr know to man, Ive taken chinesse meds, minerals, vitamins, had needles stuck into me, stuck magnets in stupid places on my body, painted lotions on my head turning it red itchy and blistery (now that was an attractive look)
Ive even had my eyes, nails and poo ( have a laugh at this - walking in to a dr rooms with a jar of poo - I did that) to have looked at - and for me nothing has worked - UNTILL NOW - I went to a Physican of Immunology and Allergy . I once only had 5% of hair on my head - I now have 70 - 75% of it back and still going strong - that was 6 months ago. DO NOT GIVE UP - TRY EVERTHING!!! its hard. I had times when I thought I can not do this any longer - But you do - YOU ARE MORE THAT YOUR HAIR. - And in 8 weeks time I am going to be married, to a scotsman!!! (YES YOU ARE THINKING I MUST BE A NUTTER) And of all the races on earth they are the harshes!!! We got engaged when I was bald (like baby bottom bald) and now 2 years on we are getting married. I thought no one would want me - but being bald for me has made me stronger, It has weeded out people in my life and I have been left with the best friend any girl could ever want!!! and met a better type of people in the process - I am getting a freedom wig - there is one based in glasgow have you looked them up???? they are expensive but if it makes you feel better then i say f@%k it - just get one (also revert back to making mum and dad feel bad) My dad's buying mine!!!! They look great and you wouldn't know its not your hair - my girlfriends were amazed when they saw 2 ladys I know that have them - they all thought that it was there real hair.
I am going to be in Scotland in 6 weeks in Hawick and in Skye, Are you near any of these places?? - If I can help you in any way let me know - It can and will get better even if it doesn't look like it now - Love Rach xoxo

What type of wig do you wear? Is it comfortable?
