Lee replied to Sonia's discussion Can't handle this"I gotcha! Vacuum wigs are good for this. They stay put, and look very natural. However, you might want to wait until you have more advanced alopecia because they are pricey, and you have to be bald. I never did bonding, but Im sure thats good…"

- Hello and welcome, Sonia,
I'm sorry you are having a hard time with your hair loss.
I know how hard it can be; I've had it for about 30 years and even wrote a book about it.
Let me know if you need to talk or need advice. I'm here to help.

Mary said… - Hi again, Sonia...I just posted to your discussion, but I want to add that we're very similar in age. I was diagonosed and had my first bald patches in my late 40's, and lost it all at age 55. Yes, it sucks. But, I have a rich life and I'm trying hard not to let my hair loss control it. Please take care and remember that you are not your hair.
