Okay! here goes: WEaring a wig has been announced! I haven't been on this site for a whie now. Still depressed, but I came to terms with the hair loss. I am wearing a hairpiece. It still sucks, but it is better than the alternative. It takes all of my strength each day to style it...

HI! I have a question, and I hope someone knows something about it!!!!! I want to buy a human hair wig. I have a synthetic one now. But I feel that I might want a human hair one. I want to know if you can go swimming with a human hair wig. I don't think you can with the synthetic one...

HI! Thanks for the feedback! I feel better now! Maybe I'll let it grow back a bit, then wax. I don't know why I didn't come to the forum and ASK what was better FIRST! I live and learn! Thanks again!

HI! I am from New York City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Facial hair Hi Ladies! I was just about to post a frustration about something, and it appears that you already did! The rogaine shed for me was horrible, it is still shedding, but I THINK it has slowed down. However, I switched to the 5% Rogaine two months ago, and my scalp is flaking so...

HI! Some people swear by Toppik. They say it works well for them. However, I used it and I didn't like it. Whenever I scratched my head, I would have it in my nails! I also was paranoid that the powder could be seen. I would have your husband and you examine each other (outside... for...

Hi! I read in some posts, that poeple use Xandrox? I have never heard of it. Can anyone tell me about it? I read up on it on websites, but I always like to hear it from you guys- the real information givers. I have been using rogaine since the end of July, I just started 5% two months...

Thanks for responding! It comes out when I wash it. But I guess I am getting it on my hair too much. I thought I was parting it good, but it still gets all over the place! This sucks!!!

HI! I just switched to Rogaine 5% a few weeks ago. I was just wondering what the side effects were that many of you may have experienced with 5%. On thing I noticed is flaking, and hair discoloration. My hair is GRAY! (Really it's brownish reddish) Is this normal? I were a hairpiece so...

THANKS! Hi! Thank you for all of your good wishes! mayalopecia- You are the best! Those swim caps are amazing. I also like the underhair that they sell. The caps are tropical looking... I will be in the Bahamas! I am so excited to try this! I knew that you guys would come through...

HI! I know that there is no good answer for this, but perhaps there are soem creative women out there. I am going on my honeymoon, and most of it will be spent in the water. I am so paranoid about my hairloss that i don't go swimming anymore. However, that is what I'll have to do. I am...

WIG Hi Rita, I just wanted to let you know that I recently bought a wig. It cost $200 too! However, it was well worth it. I feel so much better wearing it. My hair wasn't so, so bad YET... but it was bad enough for me to feel paranoid and ugly. I started to use Rogaine, and the big shed...

Good news! HI! I was so happy to finally hear about some progress! Good for you! :lol: I have been using rogaine for almost 3 months and I see a slight decrease in the shedding. It was interesting and encouraging to read about seasonal influences on hair loss. I had a question about spironolactone...

Thank you so much for your response. It just helps to hear a sympathetic message. I will tell people about Rogaine because it's not worth it.

Hello, Please someone respond to this. I have had devestating news and no one around me remotely understands. I have been using rogaine for about two months. This was a big hope for me. I thought it would be annoying to use, but that it would work. I was deathly afraid that if I started...
