Hi. I also have female pattern hair loss (mild) along with diffuse alopecia. Nice to meet you.

Hello...I'm coping pretty well. I have had AU for about 2 1/2 years now. The first year was realyl really rough, but then I got used to the condition. It's still annoying, but I'de say 95% of the time, I don't even think about it. I never thought that day would come, but I'm happy it did ; )

Thank you so much for the compliments! If you have any questions....feel free to ask!

thank you :) yes my bf is supportive, but we don't talk about it much (ever) when we do he tells me i have to deal with it, but i don't know how. i'm 27 and have had it since i was 6, it started as AA and progressed to AU over the years

Thats ironic about the hats...lol!! Freedom wigs are a vacuum wig. they are form fitting and never shift even in the toughest wind. also since they are a vacuum wig you can do an updo..medium high. they arent from Amy's Presence. they are supposed to be so soft and not hot or itchy like conventional wigs. im looking forward to getting the 2 samples tomorrow or monday. the dealer for my part of the country is karen at www.newlifehair.com. im thinking of getting mine like hers..she's the blonde on the top part of the transformation gallery.

nice to meet you too. yes i am wearing a wig in the photo. thanks for the friend request.
talk to you soon.- chani

Hello Kathleen!

Thank you for the friend invite!! Thanks also for the compliment- no I do not wear a hair piece- what you see is my hair. For the past 5 1/2 years I have been dealing with constant spots... a new bald spot pops up and then starts to regrow hair...as another area falls out!! ugh!!! I do have a spot currently that is causing me some trouble as it is hard to hide (at the crown of my head). I wonder if I shouldn't buy either a wig or a topper of some kind.... but for now I can arrange my hair and with the help of hair spray still cover it...fingers crossed it does not get worse!

How are you? Hope you are hanging in there!! I know how frustrating hair loss can be!

Have a great night!
Heather

Happy Birthday Kathleen. I wanted to welcome you and wish you a happy birthday. How are you? I have alopecia and wear a synthetic wig. It is a nice wig and fits my personality. What options in "Hair" are you considering?
