Y: I see how sad you are over this and I’m truly upset for you. I know how much something like this crushes you while they grow out but please know that you really look great (I can’t really see a difference on the video but it is harder to tell I realize than in person). Take your Biotin. I have found this helps what hair I do have, grow much faster. Also, try to get some exercise. Hopefully that will take care of that pit at the bottom of your stomach a bit. And, if you want to meet up on FB for a virtual toast later, let me know! I’ll get an earlier start than you since I am on EST! (((HUGS))). YOU LOOK GORGEOUS any way you slice it!

Hi there!

I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to feel you finally have the control over the way you feel about your looks and then feel it’s not wat you wanted any more. xoxo

For those of us with thinning hair, going to get a hair cut can be traumatic.
In an earlier post, I mentioned that I had an appointment today. I took your advice and I decided that I will take the topper back to where I bought it and have them trim it there since they are more experienced. It’s around a 3 hr. drive so I will do it in a few weeks. I decided that I would just get my hair trimmed today locally and the grey roots (what few roots there are) touched up. I was off today and scheduled an appointment very early when no one is at the salon. Right before I left the house I got a message saying that someone was going to be doing another clients hair at the same time as she does mine and would I mind this. Well, why would I want an early appointment if I wanted to sit there with other people. So I had to cancel. Then I just sat on the bed eating left over Halloween candy feeling kind of paralyzed and not knowing what to do. So… Even NOT getting a haircut is upsetting sometimes!
Anyway, it’s late afternoon now. I finally made another appointment and will take the topper to have in cut more to fit me in a few weeks. I live in a small town and there are few choices for hair stylists. Sometimes I feel that she does not like to do my hair since it’s not “fun” or very satisfying since it still looks crappy when she’s finished. Thanks for listening everyone. This I has been another lost day to my hair loss and frankly it’s really getting old. I have a lot to be grateful for but right now I just feel like complaining! Thanks again for being there for all of us.

Damn, that sucks. Really, truly sucks. I’m so sorry for the stress it’s put you under!

That being said, I think that you and Mila still look AMAZING! Let’s face it, for most of us, a terrible wig day is still a thousand times better than a “good” crappy bio hair day. I haven’t moved into wig wearing yet – am still trying to take that first step. But just wanted you to know, even without using your hairline – you’re freaking rocking it. You still look incredible. I’m sure everyone will agree with me!!

Yes I think it can just be hard for people to understand unless they have their own experiences!

Maybe amino acids could help your bangs grow faster? Everyone is different but my hair was growing at about an inch a month with aminos — there are a couple of “pre-digested” aminos out there that don’t even hit your liver and kidneys so easier on the system. Not protein powders, but tablets or capsules.

Big Hug!!!

Thank you guys for all the support and wonderful comments, it means so much to me.. so much.

@Carey – Your Follea is beautiful, I saw your pic from today, you’ve really got it down with how to work it, it is totally natural and flawless. Maybe I should take some hair vitamins to speed up hair growth, wonder if those work… Grow hair GROWWWWW. Things will look a lot better for me with one inch more growth, at least something workable for my liking. My wigs do work now with my hair now, but i’m a nutty perfectionist, and when things aren’t as I like it drives me bonkers. I’m very certain that for everyone else in the world, no one will notice anything different. My fiancé who is always honest with me (sometimes to a fault) has told me that my wigs look just as good. But I SEE the little hairs and things not flowing how I like. But it will grow, it will grow… 🙂

@Gls – You are sooo correct, most people don’t get how important the right cut is. My super frustration, was I actually put on my WiGrip, pulled out my hairline ear to ear and we clipped that section to be marked as kept longer, not sure where things went awry. When you get your hair cut, be very on top of what is going on in that moment, don’t be passive like me. I can guarantee on my next cut I will be the super nutty client watching over everything like a hawk. Actually, I kid you not, after this experience, I likely will separate my hairline in all future cuts, clip it and tell them not to touch it at all, I’ll cut that part myself… seriously. Go in telling your stylist my story and that you want to be super careful to make sure too much isn’t taken off. I’m so glad you have found support and comfort here, that alone makes my day better!

@Lina – I emailed you already with my nutty situation, but I just want to tell you MUAH MUAH MUAH! slurp, slurp, I’m following doctors orders and drinking wine as prescribed. Oh and I did text my stylist later that night, I couldn’t help myself, I was so bothered — she took forever to respond but when she did she was very apologetic. The other issue I didn’t touch on in this video is that without my wig, my hair is at some weird length that it stands straight up on top (think vanilla ice or marge simpson) and it’s so crazy, I would have preferred the top shorter front LONGER. She got that backwards. She offered to come to my house once a week until it grows out to a better length and blow dry my hair for free, it was very nice of her. I declined her offer, it’s not necessary, but I was glad she acknowledged how F’d up this was. And yes, this is another Chapter…. Titled “WTF”

@Mary – What a great comment, I’m so glad you are having this self realization and that you can be thankful for all your blessings. I know we all often loose sight of that, it’s so easy to do when your hair is falling out of your head. You hit the nail on the head “what they THINK is best for you” I know in this situation she totally lost track of what I needed, what “I” needed and what I don’t need it a cute short hair cut for wearing out on the town, no one, except for my fiancé ever sees my Bio hair. This is all new for her, so I don’t think she fully understood. I think she does now though.

Okay everyone.. all together — Breathe – Huge Sigh – Now Drink that Wine
Love & Hugs To ALL – You guys are so awesome!

XOXO

I was thinking about this more and I guess it’s not about how we think you look, it’s how you feel. We are all just trying to find a solution that works for us and no matter what anyone else thinks-it’s what we think about how we look. We put so much psychic energy into this and we just want to feel more normal and not think about it it so much so we can do other things in life.
Life is hard enough sometimes!
I think about you all and I am thankful for the support I see here.

I have had that experience with hairdressers who don’t listen or do what they THINK is best for you. Now I am looking for someone for hair replacement and am afraid that to have to deal with the same issues all over again. I’ve dealt with the pain of hair loss for many years, not living my life or wanting to go out in public so I would not have to be in bright lights, wind or see someone stare at my head. I have had comments made to me about my hair loss and have wanted to crawl under a rock and hide. We judge ourselves so harshly be it our weight, skin tone, hair loss, relationship issues, etc. I am tired of hiding and feeling like I am less of a person. When I think about it I realized I think am the one thinking less of myself. I don’t feel that way about someone I see that has a disability or hair loss. I am thankful for all the blessings in life I do have and recently have experience the birth of my first grandchild. It helped me to see however I see myself that my grandchild looks through the eyes of innocence and love and that is how we should look at each other.

Hey honey, shit I think you still had eyes behind your shades that looked like you’ve been crying? So, big hug your way.
I know that this is NOT what you wanted, but your lace front looks so totally natural at the hairline, maybe Mila had a chat with your hairstylist to get some “hair-time”! (I was trying to get you to smile there).
Ok, it blows large but YOU are going to file it under the – f$&@ category and move on! You still look gorgeous and completely natural. I understand about the side burn crap – me, shaved head and I’m trying to let it grow a wee bit so the ear area blends.
So, do tell, did you bop her in the nose 😉

This is just another chapter in your journey.
Chin up honey.

Xxoo
