I have a custom made - it fits my head ok... could do with a tiny tweak here and there, but I have a weird hairline so unless I made a template it is never going to be perfect.

Your stylist is right - I think it will take me a while to get this process down and feel totally confident. I also agree I need to get several months out of it to feel it was worth the money. I do think I am treating it a little roughly being a newbie!!

I will say a prayer for you and the little one. I have not heard of that defect sounds very rare, havent ran across it in my studies in nursing school. For your stress, the minimum standard set nationally is 30min a day for 5 days a week. With that in mind a simple jog will do the trick. Additionally watch your diet, keep it low in fats, high in protein and carbs, plenty of water, keep the alcohol down how ever i have been told tequila kills stress haha. Take your multivitamin, and take antioxidants such as vitamin E, C, A, selenium, or try Noni juice or acai juice. :) best of luck!

I wish I could have been in the DC area...this is a great day for us as a people and as a country. I am so excited to for the future.

sorry meant to say I find the Invisbond fine* to apply...

I might buy some of the Davlyn and Blue Liner to try. I am already fed up with putting it on and taking off - only done it twice. Today my nape lifted (after 2 days!) and I tried to deal with just that area, but got frustrated and took the darn thing off entirely. I find Invisibond find to apply, but removal is like a nightmare - bits of the glue all over the place and so hard to get off even with alcohol. I might even just try supertape on its own and see if it works - at least if it doesn't the cleanup won't be so bad as when using glue. I am a bit disillusioned because although it looks lovely on, I cannot see how I can realistically wear this full time with so much maintenance. I will give it time though, as I guess it takes a lot of practice and trying different adhesives out.

Hey. Thanks for the tip about the ACV and lemon. I always have those in the house so I may just try that. I am using Supertape and Invisibond, so I get gunk also... I seem to get a lot of it left on me when I remove the wig, which I find annoying. I can probably try the ACV+lemon on myself also... as I used to wash my bio hair/scalp with baking soda followed by an ACV rinse.

Hi nicole, thank you very much for sharing those words. stress is a very horrible thing, and im very aware of many methods to help manage it and not let it manage you. I understand that with what you are going through with your son the stress is very intense. What kind of heart defect was your child born with if you dont mind me asking? It does seem serious if he is needed a secondary operation. I do hope that all treatments he undergos are successful, and I hope that you are able to deal with your very turbulent times. Depending on who your insurance provider is, do look into the details of access to a top specialist center in your area. Im not sure where your located but it seems that every state or major city should have a reputable treatment center.

I am wearing full lace at the moment and it's a right hassle to have to maintain it, clean up, reapply... so you wear yours for 2 weeks? I only started wearing mine recently and I think I shall be lucky if I manage to keep it on for a week. I find clean up to be the worst... are you using glue or adhesives or a combination? It takes me ages to apply also - but I was hoping it would get better as I got used to it. *sigh*

Hey Nicole,
Just wanted to see how you were hope everyone is well.

Hello Nicole. How are you? I work in accounting too! I would like to know where you get your hair pieces? They look so nice on you!!

Thanks for the welcome, Nicole.

I definitely will

I'm so glad i found this website. Its comforting to know i'm not the only one going through this.

Girl i wished i knew about this years ago too but its all good i found it and i can't wait till i get it Watch out now ! lol

Hi Nicole you have beautiful children. I also have two children myself. I too get depressed sometimes but I often wonder, should I be feeling like this but instead be use to this considering ive had alopecia universalis since i was 2 yrs old. I don't even remember having hair and that makes me so angry sometimes. This is something i hate to accept but it is what it is. I agree with you there are worser health issues and that makes me feel better. I recently discovered lace wigs and can't wait to try one. I feel its gonna be the beginning of a new me.

I am definitely going to find me a lace front....

I too thought about tattooing my eyebrows but since loosing all my hair is so new for me I'm trying not to make any rushed decisions that are permanent....I now take the eyebrow pencil and put it on my upper lids. The lady at the Mac counter said, "honey you get an eyeliner and line your lids." and this works well once I got liner that didn't run...

Thanks I appreciate your openness and honesty

Thank You - Nicole. I will check the sites up. Have a nice day!

Hello Nicole - I love your hair! Can I ask who is your provider for hair? And I see your family photos - your kids are wunderful, absolute gorgeous!

Hugs!!!! Can't wait for you to read it!
