Good morning Angie,
I know it's hard seeing new spots pop up and the drama of trying to find outfits to go with the scarves and hats that you have. I've been there!!!! I felt a little better when I shaved my head. I couldn't take the emotional toll of seeing my hair come out in clumps everyday. I felt and looked like I was dying. You can always try wigs. When I had hair I was so anti weaves, wigs, and anything that wasn't natural. Now that I'm bald, I am the wig and fake eyelash queen. Haha, God has a sense of humor. I just got hip to a website called hairsisters.com they have some great looking wigs and reasonable prices!!! I just heard about the site yesterday and bought a wig already. I'll keep you informed on how it turns out. Never bought a wig online. I usually like to go into the shops and try them on first. Gotta go and get the kids ready for summer camp. Have a blessed day.

Hi Angie,
It was actually a temporary eyebrow tattoo. Used once and not again. Still saving for the permanent ones. I've been doing pretty good. Can't complain. How about you?
Hey Angie, I'm doing ok, still looking for work. Yes, I know I live in GA but I don't think I have full excepted it yet. Maybe I will once I start working or maybe not. lol
Angie Girl,
I am back to drawing them in. I tried the temporary tattoos and had to take them off and redo them 3 times before I kinda had them even. Grrrrrr. I like the way they look but it took too many tries and a serious wash cloth burn. They lasted a day and then they started to get gummy from the oils on my face. I will only be breaking them out for special occassions. LOL. I have decided to get the permanent tats with the hair strokes. Just need to save up some money first. Thanks for asking.

I was born and raised in Chicago, but I do often wonder here and there about moving to a warmer climate. Well, you never know that could happen one day.
Hello Angie,sorry im just getting back 2 u,how r u donig and its nice to meet u.Thx for the compliment.I make my own quickweaves although i USED to where wigs.Have a blessed wkend:):):):)
Thanks for the friend invite Angie. I hope all is well in your world. I checked out the group and it would be very nice to connect somewhere central. I'll stay posted. I get a notice to my Blackberry when members post. Take care ~G
Angie you said you had an afro so I am betting you are a Brown Lady(no picture). Brown ladies can get away with having extremely short hair and look great...I am thinking of putting my bald head under the tanning bed to get a Brazilian tanned noggin. :)
Also you said you are going gluten free. I truly think I am gluten intolerant due to stomach problems ..so its a change I have been trying to make slowly too .
Thanks, Angie! I have a son who is 23 and engaged as well. I cannot believe how fast time flies.
No, I really don't "need" a wig but I also believe that my AA is in remission and am not ready to take my wig off. I want to see what happens in the next several months. It was crazy how fast my hair fell out, with no time for me to adjust it just came out in clumps, and what's to say that won't happen again? We know there is no cure. I don't know the statistics of people who regrow their hair forever because they then probably leave this site. For this reason, I have pledged to stay on and let everyone know what is happening with me.
I found that it was not helpful to tell people. They don't know what to say and while well-meaning, generally say the wrong things. I came to grips with it early on and really don't care about it anymore as the problem is solved with the wig. And yet, people still worry about it for me which is not what I wanted.
