Relationship Status:: In a Relationship

About Me:: My name is Tina and I was diagnosed with Alopecia in May of 2007. I have gone through various treatments including creams, shampoos, natural pills, steriods, and injections. Here I am a little over a year after being diagnosed, and I have finally decided to stop all treatment. Although my hair has grown back a couple times, it's fallen out each time, and it seems like each time it happens, it's just as hard to deal with as the first. I am trying to keep my hope and faith alive through this entire life changing experience, and finding a place like this helps so much. It's very comforting to know that I'm not alone in this and that everyone here feels the sadness, pain, and strength that I do. My hair was everything to me and this has been the most difficult and emotional experience of my life. However, I have learned a lot about myself, life, and the blessings I have because of my family, friends, and boyfriend who love me and have been by my side through it all.

So, even though I sound like I'm this totally depressed person, I'm not, and I don't let Alopecia run my life. Plus, I have a great wig! lol! I love going out, hanging out with my friends & boyfriend, spending time with my family, going to the gym, and just having a good time. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies, and am currently getting my teaching credential.

I look forward to meeting people who can share their stories, provide inspiration, be a shoulder to lean on, give advice, and just be a friend. =)

Are you 18 or older?: Yes

At 1:54am on July 7th, 2008, Lee said…: by the way...I like the short hair on you...esp. the graduation pic! ; )

At 1:53am on July 7th, 2008, Lee said…: o.k....vacuum wigs dont seem to knot at all. Ive been putting mine up and it looks natural. You just need to have your stylist cut baby hairs all around the hairline so you cant see the line. They are so comfortable. In fact, Ive had mine on for 3 straight days (which your not really supposed to do cause its not great for the wig), but I slept in it and everything...and its comfy!! I take it off somtimes to clean the inside of it...and my head...then Im good to go ; )

I have had it for two weeks now and I love it!! Mine is 12 inches. I think the longest they do is 14 depending on long you can wait....not sure about that though, What questions do you have? Have you ordered it yet?

At 12:14pm on June 20th, 2008, Mandy said…: Tina,
Thanks so much for your blog comment. It really spoke to me and helped me very much. I have decided to shave the rest (well buzz it...probably not bic it yet) and reading your comment made me feel much more confident about my decision. I'll post a blog later today or maybe tomorrow and let everyone know how it goes.

Hugs,
Mandy

At 1:43pm on June 11th, 2008, Gina said…: Hi Tina, the full lace I have now is from denovohair.com, the quality is good, mine is Swiss Lace which does not last as long as French Lace but looks more natural. But there's a store in L.A that has good quality wigs of all kind including Lace, it's called the Hair Shop (hairpiece.com) but I don't know why they don't have many different styles on their website, if you go to the store they do have plenty of them. Where in SoCal are you?
