Please can someone offer me any advice. I have been suffering from alopecia since 2007. My hair constantly sheds a lot thins out grows back. Trouble is I have to keep it very short as its not in long before its shedding again. Prior to this I had long hair. I hate the constant shedding and uncertainty. I have been diagnosed with a chronic TE. I have decided because I get so depressed and hate taking my wig off that ive ordered a custom made lace front wig. Apparantly I can keep this on for up to 3 weeks at a time. My only concern is that i dont get to wash my hair underneath its pixie cut at minute every day as i normally do as it gets greasy. I thought maybe id shave to a grade 2 because i intend to use my lace front permanantly. Does anyone have experience with this solution. Are they good, do they stay on, does your hair grow underneath, is it okay to shave. Any advice would be great I am feeling so depressed its affecting every area in my life. I am okay when I.m wearing a wig but as soon as I take it off I feel upset. I also feel better when its shaved as can't see the shedding. just need to know the ins and outs and if lace fronts are comfy etc and a long term solution. Many thanks
