Eek! What an awful dream! :shock:
Anyway, as for hair styles, I also read that a short bob would help.
But for my hair, all the volume is at the end and the back, where I have the most density. Therefore if I chop it off (and remove the fried ends), my hair will look noticeably thinner. It really sucks.
Therefore when I do trim it, I ask for really choppy layers. My hair at the longest is at my bra strap in the back and in the front is at my collarbone. But the last time I got a trim, the girl messed it up so it looks really boring :evil:
Sometimes when I use the volumizing/thickening shampoo, I use mousse to help give it a bit more boost, though within an hour or two, it gets flat again :hairy: dang this condition!
Sorry, this probably didn't help very much. Frankly, wigs are getting quite attractive looking...
Happy holidays,
Laura

Thanks for the post. 
Is your hair layered near the front as well?
The reason I ask is b/c though I have some diffuse thinning all over and a spot at the back of the head (crown?) that is thin, the most noticeably thin part of my hair is at the front of my head! Ick! :x
I've also noticed and thought that wigs might be a nice option...the only thing is that when I do wear a piece I feel like a fake for some obscure psychological reason that I can't pinpoint

My hair is about shoulder length with some layering action going on. Since my hair is very straight and thin, I think the layering helps but I also cut my bangs so that I could bring my hair forward to cover the balding areas. I think that it helps hide things a bit but it's not a good style for my face. It makes my face look fuller than it already is - plus I'm 44 and bangs seems "too young" although if I had a perm, bangs usually look okay. More info than you needed to know, I guess? :0
By the way, I ordered 2 travel sizes of Toppik - medium brown and light brown. The medium looks so dark on me and the light brown doesn't provide as much coverage so I use both colors together. It seems like most of it falls in the sink or on my forehead when I use it. I'm not as happy as I was hoping but it is helping cover the bare areas somewhat.

Hi, Renee.
Thanks for the post.
I actually use the Couvre more than the Toppik. It is applied directly to the scalp, it's like a cream, rogaine can be applied right over it. I use it and then, on days when I think I need extra coverage, I toss on some Toppik.
It's a definite trial and error w/Toppik and Couvre. I prefer Couvre, though, less itchy, etc.

Hi Renee,
I believe you can blend two colors of Couvre together.
Happy New Years!
