Can’t wait until next weekend when I go to Jentis. Thanks for showing us Follea in such honest detail. Having some good hair will be a lift.

I’m not ready to shave the head yet, but I think a buzz will be in my future depending on how my disease progresses. Maybe it would ease the pain a little not having to wash and comb. I don’t think I could pull off bald as my condition brings a lovely rash. ick

Good luck with going off your meds. I’m in a battle with my meds too. Ditched some and will choose a new one next week.

At least good hair is in my future. I’ll have to dream up wig names.

Can’t wait to see you and one of your girls in the next video.

@LisaH – Thanks so much!

@Frecklegal – I’m so glad you found us, we’re the same age 🙂 I know that Alfieri in New York carries Follea, but the best way to find yourself a local place is just to give Follea a ring, they are really nice over there.

@Jaysgirl84 – I have a very limited wig brand experience, meaning I’ve only tried Freeda, Milano wigs and Follea, but I did find some great wig review youtube channels from some great gals I follow on there, Tanukes channel is really great: http://www.youtube.com/user/Tanukes/videos?flow=grid&view=0 she does a lot of great reviews on different wigs also there is a gal on Vimeo that has 162 video wig reviews, her channel is “onehundredpercentreal” http://vimeo.com/onehundredper/videos There is lots of video wig watching there 🙂 I know the girl on Vimeo does have some Raquel Welch wig reviews.

@Electra – Death by paper cuts… VERY well said. I just cut my hair super short because I’m getting off my meds and I want to visually lessen the impact of the shed. I’m done fighting with my hair and trying to bend over backward to save it, because I’m so much happier just wearing my wigs now. My wigs give me the ability to feel like me again, I’ve accepted that my hair loss is not stopping, not reversing and it’s just done.. death by paper cuts is right, so I’m chopping it off and leaving what I need to work for me, I’m tired of wasting shampoo on my crappy hair 🙂 I’m so glad you are finding hope and inspiration here and that the pics and videos are helping to show women that wigs ARE an option, they aren’t just for old ladies in rocking chairs, no SIReeee. I don’t even OWN a rocking chair (yet) although I did used to knit a lot, but I digress LOL

XOXO

I have scarring Alopecia. It’s a slow and literally painful march. I have bald spots on my crown that won’t come back and it’s still going.

Having read about and talked to Areata patients, I’ve learned a lot. They go through traumatic and profound hair loss, sometimes within days. They have their mourning and they move on. I spoke to a woman with Universalis. She was over it, past it, rear view mirror. I want to be her!

Slow hair loss has its own burdens. Like death by paper cuts. When is it time to wear hair, shave your head, etc.

I bought a wig but don’t love it. Going to meet with a Follea rep as I think yours is gorgeous and I like how you have hair at your hairline showing.
You are gorgeous too. A smile now!

Love the videos and pics. I want to see real women wearing hair. Model photos aren’t believable.

Thank you!

Now to my very important question. I need a store as amazing as Follea along the Northeast Corridor – somewhere between Manhattan and Boston. Any and all tips are so appreciated. If this loss keeps up and I can’t find an appropriately amazing solution, you know I’m headed to LAX. 😉

Is there any way to speak to you on phone for few minutes? In the country i live in its hard to find human hair wigs so any information from you will help

You know what… it’s US with that noise in our heads, I find that nobody else pays any attention, nobody looks, nobody cares really. They care about their own sirens and horns for whatever they have going on in their lives, that we may not ben in tune to. We have to “own” wearing hair and I mean like the 3 snap z formation wave in front of the face, “Own It.” But yes, it’s hard, I’m a work in progress myself 🙂
