- About Me:
- I'm 25 and I work as a drugs counsellor in criminal justice. So I spend all day dealing with other peoples problems as well as my own! I have had alopecia areata since October 2009 and currently have a hair piece. It developed after I went to work in America for 3 months and was very homesick, so the stress of that could have triggered it. Its starting to grow back a bit now, but I know these things take time and can start all over again.
I live with my bf and friends and I like going to the gym, cinema, CSI and Sci-Fi.

Good news:
The patch on the back of my head has grown back pretty well - hair is quite short and thin still but its better than the glaring white patch of head that was there before, easier to hide now.
I went for my fitting at another wig salon through the NHS (so I'm paying £158 instead of the £400 I paid for the first piece) and got all measurements taken etc but it won't be ready until end of October probably (after my… Continue

This is my new hair this morning. It's a synthetic top piece, whereas my one before was human hair and cost £400. his one has more shape. I'm a little concerned though as the front layers are really "choppy" and i can't straighten it as its not heat resistant - will they flatter over time? Also my boyfriend commented that it's really shiny - does this also fade?
I need to move one of the clips as at the mo it sits on my big… Continue

Hi Rachel,
Just stumbled across a post where you mentioned Mane Spray. I was wondering how you find this product. I have blonde hair and someone I talked to said to go for the light brown as the blondes aren't so good?
On here as been to busy! And ah did you see the story? I also wrote
Into top of the pops aswell! :) hope your okay xx
How are you at the moment? Hope your hair is growing back or you've got used to your hairpiece :-) Your hairpiece looks great on your picture.... its always going to be hard trying something new out but its always worth it to start with so that you know what suits you and whats most comfortable to use. I've had a lot of ups and downs but feel like i'm getting there slowly.
If ever need a chat please drop me an email and i'll get back to you asap.
Hope all is ok, Melinda x
Roger.
Mary
