Hi Lynette,

I have been following you for awhile over on "the other place" and I just want to say that I think you look wonderful. I am a guy who started losing hair in his teens and resorted to hair transplants with mixed results. I would rather correct/improve what I have done as much as possible, but at times the idea of a system seems very appealing. Frankly though after my last surgery nearly 15 years ago, I don't know if physically or emotionally I could go through another.

You and I are around the same age and I can certainly relate to your accounts of how hairloss has affected you. Luckily we both have supportive spouses and families but it is difficult for others to know what its like if they have not "been there". My biggest concern at this stage is that I feel this is impacting me professionally, drastically limiting options/opportunities, etc.

I think you have found something that works beautifully for you and I appreciate all the expert advice,wise counsel, and emotional support you have given others. I've really learned a lot from you!

Phil,

Thanks for the kind comments! It's so great to know that I've been able to have a positive impact on you. When you are ready to try something new, I'll be here to help.

Surgery wasn't an option for me...so that's how I ended up wearing hair. I've never looked back though and it was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made. I totally understand when you say it is limiting options/opportunities, etc. I felt the exact same thing in my past professional life.

The awesome thing about wearing hair is that if you try it and don't like it, it isn't permanent. If you do like it, great for you! There really isn't much risk to giving it a shot!

Good luck to you!

Lynette,

Not sure if you are going to see this, but thanks so much for the kind response and support. You are correct, HTs are not for everyone. In my case the early balding had made me miserable (remember, this was the "big hair" obsessed 80's) and to just live with it was unacceptable to me. Propecia and Rogaine were still several years away. To shave one's head was not mainstream like it is today. Although many men look fabulous like this, for obvious reasons I will never be one of those guys.

With that said, there is a feeling I must "finish what I started" with what likely will be my last go around. To improve the hairline and frontal core as much as possible, I need a top doc, especially with corrective procedures. I might then consider a partial, light density system for the crown, however that really doesn't bother me too much.

Thanks again for all you do and take care!

Phil

Phil,

Happy Valentine's Day! Of course I saw your message. I'm frequenting a lot of forums now...I lost my job in June and then had a pretty terrible horse riding accident, so I'm still recuperating. As you can see, all of this free time coupled with the lack of employment is what sparked my desire to start a new business...doing what rewards me most - helping to teach others how to wear hair. I've been able to help people from all around the world and there is no feeling like it in the world.

I just did a webinar (via a webcam on my computer) with a 12 year old girl who had lost all of her hair with alopecia. I took off my hair for her, showed her (and her parents) how to clean it and reattach it and the thank you letter and pictures of her wearing hair afterwards actually brought me to tears. Nothing can beat moments like that. I've done hundreds of those types of webcasts because so many people want to know what wearing hair entails before they buy the hair. Makes sense, right?

Anyway, thanks again for the kind comments and if you don't see me on this forum you can always email me directly!

Have a fabulous day!
Lynnette
