I do like the wig, but I'm so much more comfortable without it. I wore it to work last week, but decided to stop wearing it to work cuz it was just so hot and uncomfortable to wear for 11 hrs straight. So this week I'm going to just start wearing bandanas to work. How have you been?

Thanks, it's been a change. I think I need some sun though because the bald head sticks out with it being so white. haha.

Glad you're doing well, I go back to my cottage next week so it will be relaxing and I'm hoping the weather is still nice. Other than that I've just been busy with work, but it's money so I can't complain.

Hey, haven't heard from ya in a while, how are you and how is the family?

Thanks for commenting my blog, too. :) I have heard many good things about the vacuum wigs and a lot of good things about freedom hair. I actually found a freedom hair rep that lives like 10 mins from me! So once I go the vacuum route I'm definitely going to her. However those wigs are like $6,000! And I don't have that kind of money. So for now I need to go to a store and check out cheaper wigs that still look good.

LOL didn't see it yet. I've gotta watch the last season first according to my roommate. We're gonna do that this weekend so that I'm prepared to go see the movie. :)

Hi chica! Just dropping by to say hi!

Hey! Yeah, I definitely feel the way you do.... I really would like more kids, and I hate that this is even making me think twice about it! I think my worst fear about the hair loss is that it will change people's perspective of me you know? And I definitely don't want to freak my friends or family out! Oh well... Well, it's good talking to you! Hope to hear from you soon...

oh no smog is never good! you have 3 little babies, must be a handful!! haha

Yeah I totally do want to shave it...I just don't really want to do that as long as I have enough hair to cover it by pulling into a ponytail. Just feels wrong. I mean...I can't have lost too much...maybe 20% of my hair? Seems wrong to just shave it all at this point. Still hoping for a miracle, I guess.

Yeah, it stinks. Getting more difficult these days to cover my spots with the ponytail. I use sooo much hairspray! LOL. Honestly...I'm just waiting for a new big spot to come along to make it impossible so that I don't feel guilty shaving my head.

Hey! I think all the hormones that come along with having kids really can set this off... I would really like to have another child, and I don't want this to stop me! But it is very scary, although alot of people on here look really good in their wigs/hair pieces!
So how do you explain this to your children? Right now my daughter doesn't even notice anything odd because she's 2, but I know I'll probably have to explain as she gets a little older. Well, hope to hear from you soon! - Katie

I never had AA before I went AU after I had our first and only child so far. I am at peace with it all now. It has taken me almost 2 years to get to this place though. I hope you are feeling ok about it all. I was a complete mess! i still miss my eyelashes sometimes. The only thing that really helps is time. If you are ever having a bad day, just zip me a message and we'll chat. ;)

Hi Jennifer,
If you want to know a lot of good stuff about wigs and camoflaging spots, I have tons of experience with that. I wrote a book -- it's just out and it's called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It's got a lot of info in it and it's fun to read! Go to my page to find out more, and there's a link at the bottom if you want to order...good luck with the pesky spots.

Hey, how are you? No, my daughter doesn't have it, I was diagnosed with aa about a year after I had her. It's so wierd how that happens... Well, hope to hear from you soon! - katie

Hi Jennifer, Did your hair come out worse after each baby or just with the last one? i am guessing just with the last one since you got prego again quickly each time. Most people I talk to say their alopecia either starts or gets worse after they have a baby. So did you get a wig yet? I just got a really cute one called Codi, made by Rene of Paris. Google lori's wigs, they have cute one on there. Jenn

yep good ol' cali! :) what about you? whats your story?

Yay! I love those things....I just don't have anything to clip them onto these days! I bet they'll be perfect for you now, though. I'm happy for you! :)

I'm sure you'll be able to do it. I know what you mean about the back getting so bad. Mine has gotten even worse. I never see it, so once every few days I use two mirrors to look at it, and it's bad. I finally decided to order an electric shaver because it was cheaper online then in the stores, so I'm going bald probably tomorrow when I get it.

But I couldn't imagine being in your shoes. I feel bad about how I complain about this when there are women like you that are losing their hair too, and yet they remain so strong. It may sound funny but people like you give me strength.

I hope everything works out for you. Like you've realized theres some really good wigs out there, I can't get over how real some of them look. Good luck.
