I have tried Melatonin for jetlag, since I always seem to have it. I didnt find it too effective for that. My husband likes it though. I’ve found conflicting things online as to what melatonin can orr cannot do for hair (as you can with eveything), but in the end I’ve decided not to use it anymore for anything, simply because I’ve made a decision to not mess with my hormones at all. Now that I am birth control free and free of all the stuff I’ve tried in the past that alters hormones (like Saw Palmetto, which I really felt like was a bitch to get out of my system, I’ve just kind of decided to go without anything hormonal….. though I have thought long and hard, and googled, melatonin.

@Ciella – thank you! I am very happy. 🙂

HI, Ashley and Karen – the wig I have is the Aero lace front in 12/17 length, 6020 color. I love it. I just got back from my first extended trip as a wig wearer and it was fantastic. very easy!

The look is super, natural and beautiful, the hair density and appearance seems extremely natural. I’d need your help : had a look at Follea’s catalogue, but can’t understand what is the model you are wearing.
Would you please tell me which one ?
Thank you and again my best compliments

I live where there is very distinct seasons and I totally can tell the difference in my hair between the seasons. Have you ever read up on using Melatonin? I won’t be moving anytime soon so I may try using melatonin since that is one thing I think the seasons affect big time. Love your pictures and your attitude. Hope your bio hair continues to grow like a weed!

You damn well deserve to swish, strut, skip, sing and do the “damn I look good” finger snap.
Man, I am SO saving for a Follea! I am so happy your hair is coming in good! Yah! Alas, I’m 25 years of shit, so these puny follicles, will be what will be, Que sera, sera… (this is where I slap that Julie Andrews, just kidding 😉
I don’t do eye mirror contact either – I look through the damn thing.
Thanks for the replies and the boost of positive.
Keep smiling
Lina xo

My husband says it looks even and good.

It’s so good all around that I can even do a medium high pony AND a bun! A bun that looks amazing! Havent had that in 5 damn years!

my husband IS awesome, but he did complain to me the other day while I was literally swishing around, that I was being a bit conceited! I’m like, “yeah, I am, and I deserve to be!” When;s the last time I felt this good about myself and what I see in a mirror? 5 years ago before all this HL BS started. I deserve to feel awesome and I do. Still working on eye contact in the mirrrors but I’ve definitely conquered hair – eye contact.

You have no idea how good I am at the stiink eye……

You totally pull off the shaved head! I shaved my head around 2.5 months ago. Unlike you though, now that it has grown some – it is very sparce 🙁 oh well, at least it’s tidy with a fresh buzz and no picking the hair out of my (well, privates!)
Great call on the baby hairs, my wig is NOT a Follea (wipe saliva off my chin) and when I try to pony her, it’s’ an obivous wig. I ordered a custom piece almost three months ago and I will get her on the 14th. It is not a Follea but it is a virgin human hair. I haven’t even paid for my new bff and I already am going to start a Follea one (it’s gonna take me a good while).
I love how awesome your husband is – there is hope.
You are a real inspiration, and beauty inside and out.
(you cracked me up with the stare – give them the stink eye 😉

Have fun,
Lina

My husband is totally in love with my re-buzzed head. I’m not quite there yet, but maybe after my jouney tomorrow and feeling like at least my HAIR isnt filthy, maybe I’ll love it as much as he does. I actually didn’t wear my hair too much yesterday since we were out riding and that felt good. I am dreading potential airport stares but I am really good at staring back!

What do you mean about pulling off the pony with a buzzed head? it works great. Do you mean in the back at the nape? those are baby hairs I had them cut in.

Thanks for all the smiles!

-Bonnie

You say your hair is buzzed, how are you pulling off the pony? It looks awesome.

Thx
