Welcome Back To The Women's Hair Loss Project -- You are invited to sign up up for the New Women's Hair Loss Project Forum! Click here to join the forum and start posting.
I am constantly inspired by the women who have taken the bull by the horns and made the choice to move forward in their hair loss journey. Whether it is making the bold and beautiful choice of shaving their heads, or choosing to wear toppers, integrated hair, or full lace wigs — they remind me that there is life after hair loss, we are beautiful as we are, with hair or without. I think often sometimes when we are confronted with hair loss we begin to feel that life is over, on the contrary, it has only begun.
I put together a video showcasing some of the women from the network who are either wearing hair or wearing nothing at all (on their heads that is). In this video, “Hair Never Looked So Good” each woman either has a full wig, an addition, topper, or is showing her beauty sans hair. The only exception is Kendalkins friend in one of the photos, I simply had to include it because she looks stunning.
Thank you to all the ladies who agreed to be in the video. You inspire me, and I know you will do the same for others. XOXO

Thank you so much! You ladies look wonderful (both with and without hair!) and for those who have hair in the video, I want to learn your tricks for looking so natural!
Where could I go to learn about your expertise and where you bought your “accessories”?
Thank you again!

I must say, you are all gorgeous!

This is incredible. As someone who has just started having hair loss, I must admit it’s inspiring to see so many happy, vibrant, smiling women. I am, of course, hoping mine stops and rectifies. But what I really want is to stop being so scared and ashamed and feel inside what I can see outside in all of you ladies.

Fantabulous!

Hi, Great video! I was just wondering if the gal with the super short hair between Angela and Milo and about 35 seconds into video is wearing a hair piece or if she is the one girl in the video that is not. I have short hair and really liked her hair but I’m guessing it’s her own.

Hi Traci - That girl is Bonsai35 - she appears in the first and second photo of the video and then again in the photo you are making reference to. In the first she is wearing a wig she ordered online that turned out to be a disaster, and then in the second she has her head shaved. The photo you are talking about is her with her hair growing in. Kawawa who appears early on in the video has a short cut which is really cute and she is wearing a topper.

Thank you so much for this video. I am considering shaving my head and wearing a wig, but I have no idea as to where to look. Any advise would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

Hi! I just found your site today, and it’s wonderful! I’ve been dealing with hair loss since I had my son four years ago. I am 35, and never expected to be dealing with something like this! I had tons of hair when I was pregnant and knew I’d lose a lot of that when I had my son, but then it just kept going and going! Instead of going back to the amount of hair I had before pregnancy, it was just getting to be less and less. Suddenly I realized I could see my scalp. As you all know, this is devastating! I am a single mom and haven’t dated in five years, and thinking about trying to date while going bald is just horrifying!
In watching the video, I had two questions/comments.
1) I’d LOVE to know which women in the clip were wearing wigs, which were wearing hair pieces, and which were wearing their natural hair with some special styling techniques. (Of course the women who had shaved heads were pretty obvious! ) It would be cool if you could have captions on the video. Some of the women’s hair looked so natural I thought there was no way that could be a wig, but if it was, that would be really cool to know!
2) I wonder what it’s like for women with hair loss to date, especially those of you who wear wigs or hair pieces. Does anyone have any experience to share about that?
Whomever created this site: you are AWESOME. This is the first thing I’ve found anywhere online that is in the least bit uplifting and not just a site to sell their magical hair products!
Thanks!

@Faby - I think it would be a great idea to contact Cara aka KatKat in the Network, she wrote a piece about the Q & A of hair pieces:
http://www.womenshairlossproject.com/wigs/hair-pieces-demystified-cara/
You can contact her through the network or on her website. She is a very sweet and caring woman and she’ll help answer your questions.
@Bisou - I’m so glad you found the site and have been encouraged and uplifted by it! Dealing with hair loss at any age is incredibly difficult. I started losing my hair at 21, 10 years later — I still have hair on my hair… I was sure I’d be bald by now
Every woman in that video is wearing hair expect the friend of Kendalkins in one photo, the male friend of Embryonic, and also the short hair photo of Bonsai35 in the very beginning. Those pics of the hair that looks so awesome, well it is added hair. Amazing right?
I watched the video again and jotted down who was wearing what:
Bonsai35 - Wearing first a messed up wig then has a pic of her head shaved and later her hair growing in a bit.
Kawawa - wearing a bonded topper
Happytobeme- wearing a wig
Angela - Shaved head and also wearing a wig toward the end of video
Milo - clip in topper
Becca - Wig
KatKat - bonded wig (i’m pretty sure, could be bonded topper ) you can read an article on the Q & A of hair pieces by Cara here:
http://www.womenshairlossproject.com/wigs/hair-pieces-demystified-cara/
LDK - Wearing a Reprieve Hair System (integrated piece)
Julie - Reprieve Hair System
GtrGirl - Shaved
FeelinWiggy - I think this pic might be of her topper
Hdawn - Wearing a wig in the first photo and the one after is a Reprieve system
Toppie The Topper - Is Milo’s Topper
she is in the photo after it appears and earlier in the video
AmberC - Bonded lace front wig. She shaves a part of her hair to attach it.
Embryonic - Sans Hair
Frozen - Topper
Hornsnhalos - Topper
DayDreamer - Wig
AndiCat - Clip in Topper
Jzsnyc - Wig
I encourage you to join the network: http://community.womenshairlossproject.com/ all these gals are there and so many other amazing women.
xoxo
