I AM VERY HAPPY THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT I CAN IDENTIFY WITH. I HAVE HAD TRACTION ALOPECIA ABOUT 20 YEARS. I REALLY CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN IT STARTED. I HAVE 2 BALD SPOTS ON BOTH SIDES ON THE FRONT OF MY HEAD. I HAVE WORN WIGS,WEAVES,SCARFS AND VARIOUS SPRAYS TO COVER THEM UP. I BECAME VERY DEPRESSED AND DID NOT WANT TO GO OUT MUCH BECAUSE I ALWAYS HAD TO WEAR THE SAME HAIRSTYLE. I COULD NEVER WEAR MY HAIR BACK LIKE I WANTED TO.I ALWAYS HAD TO DO A COMB OVER. MY HUSBAND HAS A HEAD FULL OF HAIR AND ALWAS GET COMMENTS ON IT SO THAT REALL MADE ME FEEL BAD. HE DID TREAT ME TO HAIR CLUB AND I AM SCHEDULED FOR A BIO MATRIX UNIT ON THE 21ST OF JANUARY. I KNOW THAT IT IS EXPENSIVE AND I ALSO KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME COMPLAINTS. I HAVE INVESTIGATED IT FOR 2 YEARS. I AM GOING TO GIVE IT A TRY BECAUSE I AM DESPERATE AND IT IS AN OPTION.I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY IN HAIR SALONS WITH UNCARING STYLIST WHO RUSHED TO GET ME OUT THE SEAT FOR SOMEONE WITH LONG LOCKS. I HAVE LEFT CRYING ON THE WAY HOME AND RETURNED TO WEARING MY WIG THE NEXT DAY. I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS NEW BEGINNING.
