Hey Ashley....I was reading one of your posts regarding acupuncture. I have been getting acupuncture for 4 weeks now mostly for a thyroid condition which is thought to be the main cause of my hair loss. After my second week of treatment I stopped taking my thyroid medication. I have now been off of it for 16 days and I am noticing some new hair growth on my head and starting to feel some hair growth on my legs too. :) Not sure what the cause of your hair loss is....but I would definitely give it a try. Let me know if I can help
Hey Ashley,
Do you sleep in your hair piece? What do you do at night? Do you remember more or less how much you paid for it?? How long do they last? Thanks! You really look great!!
Hi Ashley! You are soooo pretty and your wig is fabulous! I am in the process of shopping for a vacuum wig, and I am meeting with someone from Freedom wigs next week; hopefully I will be able to stay as upbeat as you are! Take care, Natalie
HELLO
ASHLEY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT INFO.
I ALSO HAVE ALOPECIA I WEAR A SYNTHETIC WIG
BUT I LIKE YOU'RE WIG THIS VACUUM WIG HOW LONG DOES IT
LAST?
HOW DO YOU CARE FOR IT?
THANK YOU ELVIRA.
BY THE WAY YOU LOOK LOVELY.
Hi Ashley, I just joined this sight and I like how you have dealt with things. I have had alopecia since I was 9 as well. You have a great out look on things. I still struggle with it from time to time. I have had two bad cases where I've lose all my hair. It has grown back enough so I took my wig off. I just wanted to say Hi.

Hey Ashley:
Does the New Hair Technology send you a casting kit to make your mold of your head? I currently have to go to N.C. to get that process done. My order goes to California and Europe. The last piece that we got back in August, I wasn't please with it at all. This one is thinner and frizzy. The color is perfect though. I have emailed The New Hair Tech. twice, but have not heard back from them. I was just curious if they send you everything through the mail etc.. Your last hair piece looks great by the way. Have a great day.
Terri
Hey Ashley:
I hope everything is going great for you. I know you said you use New Hair Technology in N.Y. for your hair pieces, but do you have to fly up there each time you need one? How does it work. We are in the South also. I currently use someone (hair consultant) in N.C. my piece is made in California and goes to Europe. We have had alot of problems. I am afraid that my little girl is becomming depressed and isolated. I was curious if this was an option for us too. The current piece is made w/ real hair and vacuum sealed- just curious
Terri
Hey Ashley, I also get my hair from New Hair Technology. I love my vacuuum wig. But I was wondering how long yours usually last. Mine seem to lose hair and shape so fast. Do you bring yours there to get washed and styled? Also, do you sleep and shower with yours?? THANKS
hEY!!! I noticed you do not live to far from Nashville and I just wanted to stop by and tell you I am hosting a Links for Locks tournament here in the Nashville Area Friday Sept 19th and would love if you could make it!!! There are some people coming up from GA and down from KY !!! Would be awesome if you could come. It starts at 1:30 in the afternoon. Let me know if you would like some info. I am in need of golfers and maybe a few more sponsors ... if you have any connections or know of anyone who would like to play please let me know :) thanks
Luv the pic's with NKOTB that must have been mind blowing I too grew up listening to them that is really cool you got to hang out with them.
Jessica
ps I love you hair i read you blog about it but really how comfortable is it? I've meet the women that sells them here in the chicago land area and her hair looks great too. How easy is it to get a great style and keep it up. my first wig was human hair but was so bulky and very hard t style.
thanks Jessica
I just wanted to say 'thank you'. I have only recently begun my hair loss journey and it can be devastating. In my case though, it may or may not be permanent (only time will tell if I have telogen effluvium or androgenic alopecia). Seeing how 'normal' you look and live has given me the inspiration and courage to face the hairloss and not let it get the best of me! Thanks!!!
Hi Ashley,
Your hair looks fantastic! Amazing actually. You look so comfortable in your own skin. I could probably learn a thing or two from you. I'm 33 years old and have Androgentic Alopecia and struggle with it DAILY. I wear synthetic wigs right now because I have two young kids and it's EASY.
When/where did you meet NKOTB? I'm a fan. Had a huge crush on Joey back in the day. Hee Hee!

Like you, my 12 year old daughter is absolutely beautiful. She has Alopecia as well. Her hair has also come out slowly, but faster than yours. We are at the point where we need to find wigs, and all the other accessories for nearly complete hair loss. I could really use some guidance and information on wig cost etc. You mention the vaccume wigs - are they expensive? We are not rich by any means, but I will do whatever I have to to get her something comfortable and natural looking. I'm very concerned about her emotional state and feel she needs to talk to people with this same disease. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Ahh yes, moving for a guy. Guys can move for me! I've dealt w/ enough BS from them. :)
Yeah Clark and Fullerton. Right down the road. I go to the Golden Nugget whenever I get my yearly craving for pancakes. My friends were pretty hammered a while back. It was storming out pretty bad and they still insisted they had to go to the Golden Nugget....which turned in to the Golden Apple...which I then yelled was in New York...and that would be the Big Apple, what they call New York. The story is probably not very exciting to you, but everytime I walk past the place I think of how many different names it was given that night and how everyone had to go there during a storm.
Where did you order pizza from in Chicago? We get into huuuuuuuuuuge fights about this. I love the Art of Pizza (Ashland and Barry). I used to order from them back when I lived in Cicero and had no idea they came out here.

I love your new wig. Did you also get it at the hairplace that you wrote about in your blog?
I'm also starting to lose all my body hair. Do you still have your eyelashes? Or what kind of eylashes do you use? What's the colour of your eyebrows?
I like your haircolour, too. What'S the colour? Is it butterscotch blonde or vanilla lush?
I'd be very happy about your answer since I feel very helpless in my situation at the moment.

Your wigs are awesome! Enjoy, specially your last one. Do you know anyone who cuts wigs in South Florida or even Atlanta?
Thanks!

I love your hair. It's so pretty and I'm so jealous. I should start thinking about a similar wig.
Thanks for sharing all the infos:-)
