Thank you Cindy. The wig is from wigs for kids. Unfortunetely it's a little small already. So she won't be wearing. I love Samantha's new haircut. It's really cute.

funny thing, i was using jojoba and lavender as well, not the full recipe. The regrowth started in 2 small patches with tiny little hairs that was her natural color. Then slowly the regrowth patches started to expand. The regrowth is much fuller in…

well for us it's only been 8months since all of this has started, karah started out with a pea size and now it has totally taken over the top of her head and most of the back! it's very hard from time to time, but i try to deal with it! i have good days and i have bad! like it's really hard right now bc what is left is going pretty fast and its hard to brush her hair knowing that soon there wont be any to brush! and the fact that she has melt downs from time to time which kill me! we get our wig mid april so we are excited

Hi Ala,

Hopefully you can get the time off and join us, even if you come at 2pm...I maybe moving our meetings to Sun pm's, b/c I have a schedule conflict with Saturday's. But, nothing is definite yet. I did not know you can use latisse for the brows, interesting. We are just continuing with our thing and progress in due time..Sam seems to be getting brows now, but we will see if they stay. in past she gets afew hair that don't say, but this time she has alot more..Cross your fingers!

Hi Ala,
Your daughter is too cute! She's beautiful. Yes, the sulfasalazine seems to be a safe treatment, and we're hoping that Haylei's hair continues to return. She is monitored closely by her doctor, and he is in full agreement with her treatment, as sulfasalazine is one of the oldest medications. If your daughter can tolerate sulfa based medicine and your willing to see it thru I think it is definitely an option that should be explored. The mother that recommended to us told us to not expect to see anything for at least 6 months, but within a year it should all return (as her daughters did, and she still has all of her hair). We actually are seeing hair starting to return and it hasn't been a full 4 months yet. So we, like you, are both hopeful and prayerful. Let me know if you have any questions, we're here.

Hi! Thanks for adding me. I met a woman on here (she's in Florida--I'm in NY) whose 7 year old daughter got AA when she was about three or four. She got on sulfasalazine and has a full ehad of hair now. I am taking it and I am getting hair now as well. You can read my blog posts. I talk all about it there!
