Hello,I recently just got a really nice wig thanks to NAAF. This will be my first nicer real hair piece that i bought from celebritystylewigs.com. Unfortunately, it did NOT come already styled as advertised. I don't want to go to a normal stylist, I'd like to find someone who works with wigs and clients with alopecia but I can't seem to find anyone!!!Any recommendations or tips on how to find someone in the San Francisco Bay Area?? Thanks so much! Don't want anyone ruining my wig...See More

Beth replied to Nancy's discussion Alopecia triggered by Stress or Trauma- any personal stories like my own??"Hello Rebecca!

Yup, little stressful and the hair…"
Eva replied to Nancy's discussion Alopecia triggered by Stress or Trauma- any personal stories like my own??"Hi Nancy. I've thought about this so much over the years and definitely think my AU was triggered by stress although I think I'm obviously genetically pre-disposed in some way. I think that it's better, however, to NOT think it's…"
"I, too, consider it fortunate that I am beyond sweating looks anymore, to the greater extent....I couldn't imagine being in my 20-30-s like so many on this site, or even younger....and have to deal with it. Life is hard enough not to have it…"
Dave replied to Nancy's discussion Alopecia triggered by Stress or Trauma- any personal stories like my own??"Stress does make my hair loss worse. I have Ophiasis pattern Alopecia which first showed it's ugly head during my divorce

Rebecca Cox replied to Nancy's discussion Alopecia triggered by Stress or Trauma- any personal stories like my own??"Hi Nancy, I also think stress triggered my alopecia three years ago.
