you are right kids can be cruel. i had a saying that generally shut them up i suppose they didn't know what to say it went

I might be bald but you're ugly and at least i know my hair will grow in but your face will never change.

sometimes ignoring them just does not work, i am glad you have hair rowing in now and that you have found a product that works for you when i was losing my hair i used a product called couvren it is basically a thick cream in a variety of different shader that you apply to your scalp and it hides the thining.

Well, it's hard to say. I guess it depends on how well you can cover it up, and how comfortable you are with the way it looks as of now. If you keep on losing, you might want to consider it. You can always get a less expensive one, and that way, if the hair grows back and/or stops falling out, you're not out a lot of money. The human hair ones are the nicest, but I got a synthetic one from Revlon's Simply Beautiful line and it's my favorite!!! Cost me less than $125 and I get compliments on "my hair" EVERY SINGLE TIME I wear it!!!! It's synthetic which means it won't last as long as human hair will, but at that price, I don't care. And I'm just real careful to brush it from the inside, not the outside -- to help prevent damage as long as possible. But it's sewn exactly the same as my $1000 wig and the Revlon Simply Beautiful line is designed specifically for medical hair loss so it's not as itchy as some fashion wigs can be. I bought it online from www.joshua24.com/products/wigs. I did a lot of shopping around and this guy had the best selection, cheapest prices, and the wig was delivered within a week - free shipping! If you go to the website, scroll down to Simply Beautiful and see if you like anything. Mine is called "Encounter." Best of luck to you!!!

It was pretty slow. I've heard of people who lost it all over a weekend....I can't even imagine! It actually took several months and then it just got to the point where it looked so ridiculous that I had my husband shave off the rest. The brows went slowly too. I used to use a brow powder to fill them in....when I realized they would all be gone soon, I went and got them tattooed (which actually looks pretty natural).

Hey Jennifer. Your kids are too cute. I'm also a married stay at home mom with 3 kids (all girls) only mine are 3, 7, and 9. I also babysit for some of my neighbors to bring in a little income. I've had aa for the past 11 years and lost it all last year. Just got my eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed on last month. If you ever have any questions or want to talk, I'm here! Take care, Daria

NY is nice, I'm willing to bet the wig place is in NYC and I live about 5 and a half hours from there. But where I live is beautiful during the summer. And it kind of becomes a tourist trap, but thats ok. Hows everything going?

no, not at all..you don't have to be completely bald. I am not bald..never have been. I have patches all over, and I was tired of trying to hide them all the time. I just cut my hair really short (you don't have to though) and they can actually put a clip on the inside of the wig so when you put it on, you can secure it.
That way..it doesn't fly off from the wind or whatever. It's really great. You should go to a wig store and just try it out!

You and your family are beautiful!! Wigs are the best things ever! You'll be really glad if you decide to buy one! :)

Hey, how are you? I have a 2 year old little girl, I was looking for someone on here around my age with kids! I'm looking for some advice on how to explain this to my child... Well, I hope you feel like chatting! Let me know!

OMG yes! I don't know where the hair goes either! LOL. It just vanishes!

That is so crazy! I would freak out, I kind of do anyways whenI still get new spots. I'm always like "what the Hell! " Do you ever wonder where the freaking hair goes? I never find a huge bundle of hair anywhere, It's just gone! I always have a lot in my brush, or in the shower, but not enough for a huge bald spot!

Yeah! Literally I just woke up one morning with 2 bald spots! At first I kind of knew something was wrong but was in denial I guess. Then a couple days later 2 HUGE new spots. It was very scary at first, but I'm doing much better. :)

Thanks for the comment on the writing. I think I suck but if you say different then alright, since I wrote that at almost 3am last night. I guess its just a way for me to vent and for me to feel like I fit in with all this because everyone's going through the same thing. And maybe it will show other people that are also knew to it that they aren't alone either.

But thanks again and hopefully talk to you again sometime. Btw, your kids are really cute

Oh man!! thats bad! Ya I saw the add even on your page!! I dunno if it is here now! but they had eyelashes and eyebrows......

Hi Jennifer!
How many times have you lost your hair since the very beginning? Talk about a roller coaster. I'm sorry to hear that you have it again! At least you have a beautiful family that cares so much about you. And no matter waht happens you still be sooo beautiful:) Good luck! Keep your head up:) Talk to you soon.
