Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes
Your hair is like an old friend that you have grown up with and taken care of. You have been through good times and bad times with it hanging around. You have laughed and cried with it. You have made sure it was clean and presentable on a daily basis. You loved it at times and hated it others. At times you wished it would never change and at other times wished it was completely different. You have flaunted it, been proud of it and drawn attention to it. Over the years you probably pushed it, pulled it, teased it, praised it, abused it, let it grow, cut it off, told it what to do and then turned around and told it what not to do. BUT one thing is for certain… when it went away you begged it to come back. You cried because you missed it. You just knew you couldn’t live without it. You mourned the loss of it like the death of a loved one. AND eventually you got used to not having it around. You’ll never get over the loss of it but your life does go on. You’ll never feel quite the same but what’s done is done. All you can do is take the loss of it for what it’s worth to you, apply the lessons learned from that to other emotional situations in your life and become a more confident person because old friends do not define you. You are still a valuable person with or without an “old friend that you grew up with”.

Lack of Emotion

Posted on February 15, 2009 at 12:00pm 2 Comments

I shave my head now and then. I let my hair get about half an inch long and then save it mainly because I’m lazy. Well, I have noticed that a little patch of hair is growing in. I have been deciding between shaving it off or seeing what the little hairs will do. You’d think that would make me happy but I don’t really have any emotions about it. That started me soul searching about it. I came up with 3 reasons for my lack of emotion. Number one would be that it would be silly for me to get… Continue

Coeur d' Alene, Idaho Hair Gallery

I used to go to this wig store in Boise, Idaho called Kathy's Wig Boutique. They had a great selection and the ladies working there were so nice and cut wigs really well but it was SO FAR from the town I live in in Idaho that I had to find a new place. So, I started asking around about wig sores that are not so far from home and Momkidd told me about a great new shop in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho called Exclusively Wigs and Things. It is located at 501 W. Appleway Suite Y, Coeur d' Alene, Idaho and… Continue

Has anyone ordered a wig from the Paula Young catalog? If so what do you think of them? Color, texture, how long do they last...

Goodbye to my friend.

On June 2nd, 2008, an early Monday morning, my child, best friend and walking partner of 14 years passed away. He was the sweetest, kindest and most honest “person” I have ever met. He was handsome, happy and healthy up until that terrible day. He was my puppy Max. I am very sad but I have been thanking God every day that he blessed me with such a wonderful friend. When I stopped to think about it I learned how to be a better person from him and will try hard to apply that to the way I live my… Continue

So the real hair wig isn't too bad so far. Just brush it before you put it on plus you can curl, flat iron it like you would your own. I'm pretty happy with it so far. Tonite is first washing but I don't think once a month will be any different than washing the dogs once a month... bad analogy? Maybe but it's the best reference I could think of:)

thanks. I totally know what you mean about people looking at you only to realize they like the cut and/or color:) It hasn't been too bad at all- a little itchy but I hope it goes away soon:)

I posted a picture! Don't mind the dog toys in the background. No shaving- I still have hair it's just thin. I think i'd have a really ugly bald head anyway....

yes I am wearing it out. I feel way more comfortable wearing it around strangers than people I know and work with. It just seems like a big difference when really people only notice my hair is a few shades different and a bit longer.
