"I covered spots for 15 yrs that would've normally led me into a wig had I not used a colored spray. Your hair is the perfect color for spray too. I have blonde hair and it was tough trying to find the perfect match. I was using ProThik, but you…"

"You look lovely!! Julia is one of my favourite wigs. I don't own one myself, as my hair is wavy, but this density and this hairline resemble my old hair very much. One of the most natural wigs out there."
"Forgot to mention the one pen lasts a long time! And i've bought mime on ebay..u can get two for price of one."
"I use Anastasia brow pen. It lasts all day...matter of fact it's usually still on when I get up in mornin. It's a shade too dark for me so when i put cover up on i just dab over it and its easy and done and outthe door! Before this…"

"Forgot to mention it's Jon Renau, lace front and I apply two pieces of tape to the front. I don't sew anything into this one."

This is my daily hair. Need a new one every 2 mths. I buy when 25-30% off - which they have every couple weeks anyway, but it's still almost $200 with s&h. And I trim the bangs a bit. But everyone who knows says it's the best hair for me.
Anastasia Brow Pen
"I will add that I miss those lower lashes though :( Gone. Black waterproof eyeliner is now my daily friend."
Anastasia Brow Pen
"Still in love with this brow pen! I think this whole time I've only had to buy 3. 3 for a year..not so bad. I honestly don't even think about my eyebrows being gone when I wear this. Of course, for me I put a little cover up on them since…"
HH eyebrows
"Agreed sista! I haven't used them since. My heart belongs to the Anastasia pen...looks natural and stays on all day...no worries."
Rodeli commented on Lynn's photoHH eyebrows
"I tried these and they did not look as good on me and I had the same problem as you. They did not stay down and felt really thick and unnatural on me. I could see the base especially around the edges. Wish they made lighter versions that were more…"
Profile Information
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- About Me:
- I've had AA for 20 yrs. I've been in denial for honestly the entire time. I wore a wig from age 18 - 23 and have been wig free for 15 years. Unfortunately, it's time again and I'm not accepting it very well. I'm so mad and even more angry that I'm angry! I'm not dying so I should feel fortunate. I'm completely miserable and depressed. That basically sums me up at this point :(

Just want to shout out to see if anyone has any tricks for keeping tangles away. Especially the underneath of the back. It's so frustrating. The only trick I have so far is to load up on mousse so it's so crunchy it just sticks to itself.
Bald and Beautiful...I don't see it...why can't I see it?

I look in the mirror and see an alien..I definitely do not see beauty. I work at a local speedway in the Budweiser booth serving beer (as a part time gig) and I hear all night how pretty I am. I come home, peel my hair off and say "what a fraud".

Sarah:) said… - Hello Lynn,
Thank you for the friend request:) I'm new to the website, and don't really know that many people yet! It's very hard for me to deal with this disease. I'm in middle school, and i'm not brave enough to walk around without a wig on. I'm ashamed of myself, and embarrased. I absolutely HATE alopecia. It makes me very depressed, and upset. What do you think about it? How do you cope? You seem like a very nice person, and i look forward to hearing back from you:D
Have a great day,
Sarah Posante

lyndsey tolson said… - Hey Lynn,
Thank you for your honesty. Most days I feel like thats all I have left. I know what its like to feel like a fraud. I know I'm pretty... when I wear my wig. I used to FEEL pretty before my hair fell out, without make up. Now to come home, peel off my lie, and not recognize whats left. The worst part of this is feeling like no one else in the world could understand me. The denial is still in and out... but I'm finding the more I embrace it, the tiny moments where I own it and open up about it and tell people... the easier it has become to swallow. And not always, but sometimes it helps. I want to be courageous, I want to be strong and accept it... but its not easy. Sometimes its impossible.
Being a hairdresser is a double edged sword. I always feel like people look at me in the salon and see through me, but it helps to know to how cut/color/style hair pieces. And I've learned many makeup tips to hide that I don't have eyebrows/eyelashes.
I feel like I just dumped my heart on your wall... I hope thats ok. I take my day moments at a time, knowing I can start it over anytime by trying to be nice to myself. I hope this was helpful.
Chin up,
Lynds

andrea said… - honestly i can't remember exactly, but i think it was around $400 for the first session...then you typically have them done a second time 6 months later b/c the tattoo fades. email him directly and he can give you his exact quotes

erin said… - The pictures look fantastic! I feel the same way though.... even a good wig isn't MY hair. A little trick I learned to help with the knots is to use tweezers to pluck out the hairs in your part (if you plan on parting your hair in the same place most days). Be careful and go SLOW - do a little each day rather than a whole bunch so you dont pull out too much on accident. That helped mine look a little better. Good luck!
