Profile Information

Relationship Status:: Single

About Me:: Born with Alopecia Areata, but didn't start REALLY losing my hair until about 10 years ago. I am one of the lucky ones who's hair fell out very, very slowly...so I had a lot of time to prepare before having to purchase my first hair piece (I wear vacuum pieces from New Hair Technology based out of NYC).

I haven't been to a doctor or even tried anything new in a long time, because all of that just upsets me when I'm usually never upset about it! I prefer to just go on with life without worrying about not having any hair. I don't ever go out in public bald, but at the same time I don't keep my Alopecia a secret either. I don't have a problem talking about it, or showing people...i'm just a girly-girl and prefer not to be bald in public.

I'm going to take some bald pics and post some on here soon! :)

Are you 18 or older?: Yes

Information about my hair, etc...

I love your new wig. Did you also get it at the hairplace that you wrote about in your blog?

I'm also starting to lose all my body hair. Do you still have your eyelashes? Or what kind of eylashes do you use? What's the colour of your eyebrows?

I like your haircolour, too. What'S the colour? Is it butterscotch blonde or vanilla lush?

I'd be very happy about your answer since I feel very helpless in my situation at the moment.

Does the New Hair Technology send you a casting kit to make your mold of your head? I currently have to go to N.C. to get that process done. My order goes to California and Europe. The last piece that we got back in August, I wasn't please with it at all. This one is thinner and frizzy. The color is perfect though. I have emailed The New Hair Tech. twice, but have not heard back from them. I was just curious if they send you everything through the mail etc.. Your last hair piece looks great by the way. Have a great day.

Your wigs are awesome! Enjoy, specially your last one. Do you know anyone who cuts wigs in South Florida or even Atlanta?

Thanks!

I hope everything is going great for you. I know you said you use New Hair Technology in N.Y. for your hair pieces, but do you have to fly up there each time you need one? How does it work. We are in the South also. I currently use someone (hair consultant) in N.C. my piece is made in California and goes to Europe. We have had alot of problems. I am afraid that my little girl is becomming depressed and isolated. I was curious if this was an option for us too. The current piece is made w/ real hair and vacuum sealed- just curious

Mine seem to lose hair and shape so fast. Do you bring yours there to get washed and styled? Also, do you sleep and shower with yours?? THANKS

Luv the pic's with NKOTB that must have been mind blowing I too grew up listening to them that is really cool you got to hang out with them.

Jessica
ps I love you hair i read you blog about it but really how comfortable is it? I've meet the women that sells them here in the chicago land area and her hair looks great too. How easy is it to get a great style and keep it up. my first wig was human hair but was so bulky and very hard t style.
thanks Jessica

I just wanted to say 'thank you'. I have only recently begun my hair loss journey and it can be devastating. In my case though, it may or may not be permanent (only time will tell if I have telogen effluvium or androgenic alopecia). Seeing how 'normal' you look and live has given me the inspiration and courage to face the hairloss and not let it get the best of me! Thanks!!!

I love your hair. It's so pretty and I'm so jealous. I should start thinking about a similar wig.

Thanks for sharing all the infos:-)
