Hi, Yes, human hair wigs are quite different from synthetic wigs. I know what you mean. Unfortunately, synthetic wigs don't last a long time. However, the shorter the length, the longer that you can make it last. Oh yes, definitely! That's why I created a group on here called "Wigaholics". They can be a lot of fun!
Hi Claudia! Thanks for the add! I am happy that my posts and my story are helpful! That is what AW is for! I wish you luck in your journey and I know that your day tomorrow will be filled with mixed emotions, but you have to remember that hair is just an accessory!! It doesn't make you who you are! Just choose to accessorize with a smile and happy heart!
Thanks for the kind words. Just got a little misty. *sniffle*
By the time you're ready to cut your locs you'll feel pretty clear about it. Then possibly, like many of us, you may wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Take your time. It'll come when you're ready.
Claudia, I'm glad to hear that I have been an inspiration to you. It was very difficult back when I was diagnosed in April 2010, but now that time has passed by I have grown and now have more courage and confidence to go out in public with my head held high. Shaving my head was the BEST thing I did to help me cope with my alopecia. I hope and pray that you too will find the same confidence that I did when I shaved my head. God Bless.
Hello Claudia it is noce to meet some people that live in my area. I feel so alone in all of this. My kids have been great with all of this and trying to make me feel better but it just seems like I keep asking myself "why me" I had always had long, thick beautiful blonde hair and now I feel lost and not sure what to do.
Welcome Claudiaclaude, I too have scarred alopecia. This is a wonderful site, which has given me the confidence to shave what hair I had left and to step out into the world bald.
