It’s gonna happen and I just want to be prepared. I already have fine, thin hair. So bad when I pull it back you see my scalp. I’m wondering will I need a wig, a topper, cut it real short? I’d like to hear from you gals who’ve had pretty heavy loss and what you did to deal with it- thanks!

Ladies, you have to try scarf styling. There's heaps of turban tutorials on Youtube!

A word on toppers... they are GREAT if you have enough hair to clip into. However they DO damage your bio hair. If you don’t rotate the clips a bald spot will develop.

I would have continued wearing toppers but my hairloss became too pronounced (alopecia) so I ended up with wigs (so much fun!)

I have been seeing a dermatologist over a year now for my hair shedding and I’ve trued all supplements, Rogaine, you name it. So I’m seriously considering shaving my head if the hair loss becomes so extreme and just rocking wigs. It just gets SO hot here in the south so wearing one in the summer makes me cringe. Tell me, do you have a favorite brand or type?

Has anyone tried the Hair-Skin- Nails formula Wal-Mart has in their vitamins and supplement aisle? Thought since I just passed 3 months maybe I'd get a bottle. Are they water- soluable? Will I be P****** my money away?

Absolutely! It's what I did when I kept my hair up in a ballerina bun for running around

Only when you go above and beyond the upper limit on water soluble vitamins, they are excreted through the urine, eliminating the possibility of overdosing or toxicity (in most cases) unlike fat soluble vitamins which can be stored in the adipose tissue (in most cases)

Check with your team about which vitamins you actually need, why waste money?

I did the same thing. Every type of supplement under the sun, creams and specials shampoos, was on rogaine for almost 2 years religiously (and only got facial hair to thank for it -_-) Weight loss amplified my alopecia so I ended up shaving it.

My brand preference is definitely Jon Renau. Super realistic looking. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Jon Renau Marion (SUPER comfy)

Gabor Radiant Beauty (SO much hair but looks cute in an updo)

Jon Renau Rachel (My fav!)

Jon Renau Allesandra

Raquel Welch Upstage (Good if you have a big head, I can't wear it anymore because my noggin shrunk!)

Jon Renau Mila (Because everyone ****** needs a platinum one!)

I also ordered a cheaper one ($80 vs the JR's that usually run me upwards of $300 when you hit the sales). This one is off Etsy and is definitely a bit wiggier but I LOOOOOVE it. If your out and proud with your wigs like I am, it is so much fun to play around with different styles.

I have more than is linked here too. I have various colors of multiple styles. It's an addiction....

Secret agent girl!!! LOVE them!!! So do you keep your head shaved? I obsessively surf the wig sites every day for toppers and bangs. (Extremely limited budget...lol.) They all look fabulous on you! Such a pretty lady!

Thank you! Yes I keep it buzzed to a 3. It provides a little bit of hair for the grips to stick to but not enough for it to bulk. It has made a tremendous difference in how I feel about myself. I surfed wig sites for a good year before I bit the bullet. I love it now but it took me a while to get used to it. I was so used to seeing myself with thin hair that going to the thickness of a wig or topper made me feel like a charlatan. But I’ve gotten over that ?

Stick with your vitamins, stick with your protein. I too had fine hair and lost a lot. Now 9 months out, it’s growing back. Been reading up on vitamin E and may start eating wheat germ and sunflower seeds (1oz) to help accelerate the regrowth.

Also, I take biotin!
