I love fashion magazines. I can't really explain why but I love the artistry of design. Have you ever noticed (those of you who read them) that when they publish a feature about "hair loss" alopecia is NEVER mentioned??????? Why is that?? Do we need to have a louder public voice?? Just a thought.

Had a bout with a little depression yesterday. Didn't sleep well, got my hair cut short to fit better under my wigs. I liked (like) the cut but really wished that I could just have my own hair! By the end of the day though I was feeling better. My daughter and her partner are visiting for a whole week and we will have fun!

Is there anyone (I am sure there is) who still has some scalp hair but has shaved it off? Do you need to "shave" daily? Does it look like you have light and dark spots all over your head? I need some input because I am thinking of getting rid of what is left of my hair.

Anyone?

I just got my first wig today. Went to the wig shop with my husband. He liked the one I picked out and another one also (shorter, same color) and insisted that I buy both. Since I always wear a hat or scarf, the wig doesn't feel that strange. I have decided to have fun with my new hair. Now I am contemplating whether or not to get rid of what I have left of my own hair.

Does anyone use those gel headbands? I am thinking of getting one just to add a little security.
