I am starting a houston support group would you be interested?

I will have to check the scarves out. That might be a nice option for the summer. I can't imagine wearing my wig in the summer here. It's too hot.
The Posh wig is cute. I think most wigs need thinning out. I have flat ironed mine trying to make it look thinner. When I look in the mirror I think it's too thick, but when I take pictures and look at them it's not as thick as think. I think it is because I am so used to my thin hair. The wig is about as thick as my hair was 5 years ago. The hair texture though on the wig is a little thicker and I think coarser. I am not sure if it is Indian or Chinese hair. My hair is very fine.
Wow Laurie! You have alot of talent! You play the flute, clarinet, and oboe? That's great!! What college did you attend? I went to Macon Tech. They didn't offer any music courses. It would of been nice if they did. I would love to learn a new instrument. I loved playing oboe. (the little I played in school. I am not sure if could pick one up and start playing since it's been so long.
Take care and I hope you have a nice day.

Yeah, I am starting to like the look of my hairpiece; I am just starting to feel uncomfortable in it. Did you try on wigs recently? I saw the "Posh". It's very pretty. How did it feel?
You play clarinet? I played oboe for a year in school. Music really helps when I start to get stressed out.
Take care,
Hannah

It is working okay. I like the way it looks on me. I am still trying to get used to it being dark. Before my hair started falling out it was about this color. When I go places I don't think anyone can really tell, but I wore it to church for the most part no one said anything. I tried explaining to the people I was closely working with at a youth program that I had color, extensions, and fusion done. Well, this one lady said oh, "I thought it was a wig". It really hurt my feelings and I didn't wear it Sunday night when I played piano and of course my thin hair looked pathetic. I wore it today and my sister saw it and she seemed to like it. She liked the color on me. My head felt a little sore and itched some so I took it off when I came home. It is a little hot and I might have to get something else when summer comes.

I am doing pretty good. How have you been? Were you able to take your boys trick or treating?
Did you ever get in touch with Mistique? I told her that you might be interested.

I completely agree with you ! It is hard for others to understand what it is like, the emotional pull back and forth you get. Keep your head up girl, you know we are all here to support you.

I can understand where you are coming from- trust me. From the first time until when I lost it again I would shed and have bald patches everywhere. I was always afraid of it going again. This last time when it really did start falling out in clumps I did shave it all. I couldn't stand to watch it all fall out again. Made me feel like I had some control over it ya know? If you need anything at all let me know :)

Oh it definitely is a wig Laurie. Mine all fell out almost 5 yrs ago :) I got it at a local shop here in Omaha. When I get home I will have to look to see what the name of the hairstyle is, I honestly can't remember

Laurie, you asked if wigs damage your own hair in any way & the answer is "no". The consensus seems to be that it's a myth that wearing a wig will damage your hair.

No, it is not bonded but I think I might buy some lace front tape so it can be extra secure. I didn't shave my head I am just wearing a wig cap underneath to keep my hair down and flat. I do pull some of my hair around the hairline to make it look more natural.

Hi Laurie,
It is a lace front human remy hair wig. It was about 14 inches long and I had it cut in. I can't remember the name but it is a Bohyme wig. I think the website is www.bohyme.com.

Hi Laurie,
How are you? I am doing pretty good here. I just got my first wig yesterday and love it!! My new profile pic is of me wearing it shortly after the cut in. I say if you are considering one go for it!! I wish I would of done this a long time ago!! Now my only worry is what to tell everybody.

Good for you Laurie! I'm so glad that things haved eased up. Wishing you happiness and continued peace of mind, Jamie

Hi Laurie, Congrats on the biopsy. I'm sorry that you are still shedding but perhaps that will be a temporary thing. I hope the good news eases your anxiety a bit. Either way though, you would look good with or without hair. I'm kinda in a growing phase myself but just unsure if I trust it. If it looks like it's starting to grow okay, then I guess, I'll let it grow. Growing means I'll look dishevelled for months. The GF says that she can deal with seedy looking hair. This might not make much sense but I hate the regrowth almost as much as I hate the falling out. It makes me feel like an alopecian yo yo.

Hi Laurie, I just wanted to drop by and say hello. I hope everything is okay with you. Hey, how did the biopsy turn out? Regards, Jamie

dd they check the Ferritin though it's different then just an iron test. Iron is what your body is using at the moment and ferritin is your iron stores. So nothing came up?? I have heard of the dread shed from stopping BCP maybe that's all it it like after you have a baby you shed for a good 6-8 months.

Hi Laurie - I'm actually still in Chicago with my family. I haven't been back to Galveston since the hurricane. My house seems to have survived, but I work at UTMB and they aren't open yet, so I am staying here (Chicago) until my boss tells me to come back to work. I have no idea when that will be.

Hey! I got mine at the NAAF Conference in Florida years back. They had a raffle and I got it for free! Thank God because it was reaaaally expensive! Roughly about $3,000. It was suction, real hair and made in New Zealand. If you want more information, I would love to give it to you!!
