Androgenic Alopecia group - Come join me

I have started a group for those of us with androgenic alopecia. I hadn't seen one specific to our type of alopecia, so I figured I would start up a group. Come join me if you are one of my friends, or soon to be friends, with AA(androgenic alopecia)!

Allergic to the wig shampoo?

Has anyone else had any issues with wig shampoo/conditioner? I have had my wig since mid February but just in the past week I have had dermatitis on my ears and now it is on my cheeks. I don't know if it is possibly my wig shampoo that I am using.

Getting more comfortable

Well my friend Liselle called me out about not bein on AW lately, so I decided to post a blog. Thanks Liselle for reminding me to blog!



I am getting more and more comfortable with my wig, I am actually getting more comfortable with my buzzed hair too. I actually have showed it to my bestie's kids and husband in KY. I skype with her since we are 6 hours away. They all said that I look good, but of course they aren't seeing the top of my head, but atleast they make me feel comfortable… Continue
