I am single and really enjoy being single! However, I haven't figured out how to navigate dating and wearing wigs. I am a member of a local dating website and I had an interesting experience a few weeks ago. I met a guy on there and we started chatting. The pictures were down on the website so we emailed each other more pictures. I accidentally sent him one of me wearing a scarf. He asked if I had cancer. I said no, and told him about my situation. He said it was no big deal. I never heard from… Continue

Typically, I like to write about hair loss but I just saw an article that caught my attention. Crystal Renn is making a name for plus size models and I think it is WONDERFUL! You go Crystal!! People.com has an artice about her because some photos were recently retouched of her that she did not approve. I think it is so great what she is doing! It seems to me that lately, I have seen more and more articles or pictures of Crystal. Someone in magazines needs to be a positive role model for young… Continue

Let me start by saying that I love my Mom to death and she is wonderful to me. She always listens but in this one area, it has taken time for the support that I needed. When I first started having hair loss problems, I had to go see a hair specialist in another city. I really wanted for my Mom to take me, but my grandmother ended up taking me. I started using Rogaine immediately. My hair loss didn't start to really bother me until a few years later when I felt like it was becoming more and more… Continue

Last night one of my guy friends came over to my apartment. His best friend, I will call him Mike, actually lives in the same apartment complex as me in the building next to mine. On Saturday, I saw Mike and said hi. I was wearing my blonde wig at that time. Then, on Sunday, I drove by Mike while he was walking in the parking lot and waved. I was wearing my brownish wig. When my friend came over, I asked him if Mike knows that I wear wigs. He said yes and that Mike may look dumb but he is not… Continue

Every once in a while I will get a compliment on my "hair" from a stranger. Yesterday a woman said "I love your hair". I just smiled and said thank you. It is nice to get random compliments from strangers... it reminds me that it isn't obvious to everyone that I am wearing a wig. Also, I used to never get compliments on my hair from strangers especially when it became really thin so this is a nice change.



The other weekend I went to a party. I was getting myself a drink and a woman… Continue

I have had hair loss problems since I was 17. I am now about to be 27. I went to a hair specialist when I was 17 and they did a biopsy. I have female pattern baldness. They told me the only treatment for women was Rogaine. So I started to use it right away. A few years ago I noticed that it didn't seem to be working as well. I went to a dermatologist who gave me Spironolactacone. I tried it for 6 months and it didn't do anything for me. I have been on Ocella, generic form of Yasmin, for a… Continue
