well I am a total dork, I posted my reply to MY page lol. OOPS. Anyways, I just said that this is a wig, I went to a local shop and got it. One of these days I will have to post a pic of my natural style :o)
Hey Dawn! I actually got my wig off e-bay. You can go to the search and type in Human Hair Wigs and it will pull up alot of different looking wigs. After shipping and handling my cost a little over 100 $. Which isn't that bad for a wig. I hope to hear back from you.

It definitely sounds like you have hormonal issues - what you describe is very similar to the PCOS symptoms I have, except I also have issues with my weight and the way my body deals with sugar.
If you are interested in more information, then you might want to check out SoulCysters - if you haven't already heard of it. It is a great forum for women with or suspecting they suffer from PCOS and might be useful for you.
I think you can rotate the clips and that should help. But the one I tried on pulled out some hair just taking the clips off. Haven't heard of microlinks; I'll check it out. I really do have enough hair to get by with right now, especially if I go shorter too. My problem is that my hairline is thinning and I think it is slowly receding too. I guess it's bangs next. I am so ready to be bigger than this and shave it. I guess that will come when I don't have enough hair left...
Glad to hear you had a good weekend!!!
I bet your hair is cute in a bob. Mine also keeps getting shorter and shorter too. I know what you mean about the long hairs. I have been finding them in my dryer vent, vacuum, and drain like crazy. I have been tempted to cut it real short and get a hair piece. I haven't gotten that brave yet but I am feeling braver and braver every day. Oh, about the topper, will the clips cause further hair loss. What if you rotate the clips? Will that work? Have you heard of microlinks? I was looking at a site and they do hair integrations and attach them with microlinks. This place that did them were in Toronto and I can't seem to find a place around here that attaches with that method. I bet, Houston being a larger city, you could find someone around there.

Weekend was good. We went to two separate parties (very unusual for us) so that was fun. Of course, fixing the hair was NOT fun like it used to be. I just cut my hair in a bob, too. I'm probably going to go even shorter at the next cut. I am just tired of the long strands everywhere. No, we weren't affected by Gustav and hopefully we won't get Ike either. We evacuated with Rita a few years back and it was HORRIBLE. My kids were 1 and 3 at the time and you can imagine how fun that was! Hope you had a good weekend...
Also, I was just reading your blog post and I just wanted to say that I have noticed my scalp itches the most when the shedding is at its worst. I also have the acne issues - but then I have PCOS and both the acne and hairloss in my case are related to excess androgens.

No, I didn't get the topper. I was told the clips can pull out your existing hair. And I'm not at the point where I think this might not end. When/if I get there, who cares if the clips pull your hair out? Have you ever considered just shaving your hair and getting a cute wig? Sometimes I think that would be easier!!! Hope you have a good weekend as well!
