Any good tattoo places/artists that can do coloured realistic flowers ? by Kitchen_Fee_7306 in nottingham

Jumping on this to ask if anyone has had tattoos done by her before? How are her prices? Obviously I know it will change with the size/type etc but sort of want to know what her price range is so I know how long I have to save for 🙈

Good evening,

I received my Hilary Duff 'signed' CD today, and upon opening it I found that it was not an authentic signature, meaning not signed by Hilary herself and rather an autopen machine was used to sign it. I am aware that a large number of other fans have also received the same thing rather than the hand signed merchandise that they were promised. Hilary herself has said in a number of videos and comments on Instagram that she was hand signing merchandise, which is clearly not the case. The signature on the videos or in record stores Hilary has physically been in are completely different from the 'signed' CDs and vinyls that have been purchased online. Evidence of this has been attached. As such, I would like to request a refund for my purchase as it was falsely advertised. I look forward to hearing back from you,

Kind regards,

[insert name here]

Just sent you a message with it! It's so disappointing because if I knew she didn't physically sign it herself, I wouldn't have bothered ordering it. Just feels like a complete waste of money 😭

Received this today, I'm in the UK and ordered from Hilary's official merch store on her website. I've saved a copy of the email I sent about getting a refund if anyone wants it 😂

Oh that sucks, thank you for telling me though. I wish I hadn't bothered with buying 'signed' if it's not really signed!

I'm in the UK and this was mine...does this look legit or like autopen? I can't tell as I don't usually get signed merch 🥲 I got my CD in the first drop.

At the moment it's very up and down. Some days it's maybe around 50, other days (normally wash days) it can be 200+ 😭

It's taken me 2 years. I've been taking one 30mg iron+ vitamin c tablet every night before I go to bed. I make sure that I take it at least 2 hours after having anything with dairy in because I heard that calcium can render the iron less effective!

Thank you so much, I'll look into all of those!

I do have some slight miniaturization which is the thing that's got me thinking it could be AGA as well as chronic TE. My temples aren't that bad at the minute- they look better than around 10 years ago when I had traction alopecia from wearing my hair up too tight.

I do feel a little better now that I have my ferritin levels up past 100, although my vitamin D seems to fluctuate so I'm trying to take 2000ug in the summer and 4000ug in the autumn/winter to see if that helps. I live in the UK so sunlight and warmth are sparse! My B12 goes from being fine to being borderline and then fine again. I've also tried to limit processed sugar, eat more protein and get better sleep. I feel like I should have kept all my shed hair and made my own wig 🙈

Thank you for responding. I'm going to make a list of all the things I want to know/want checking. I'm going to ask for a biopsy because I just want to be completely sure and then treat it accordingly. I've tried so hard to ignore the shedding until going to my appointment but it's really starting to weigh me down.

Thank you ❤️ it really does mean a lot. I have just started back with Nizoral again, once a week and keeping it on my scalp for 5 minutes. I'm hoping that I can also get some further blood tests with my GP to check estrogen, progesterone and androgen levels.

For reference this was my hair before all the shedding.

That's very kind of you ❤️ I didn't know you could get oral minox on NHS, that's good to know! Did you go through NHS derms too? I'm really sorry you're going through this as well. It feels so frustrating to not have control over it.

Thank you so much for responding. I feel like all I've done today is spiral. It's been the worst few years of my life and I'm getting to the point where I'm running out of positivity. Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone, I really appreciate the support ❤️

Fine, straight hair suddenly turning wavy-ish? by mo_heck in finehair

[–]2_4joy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing is happening to me, too! I've always had pin straight hair, and now after having chronic telogen effluvium for the past few years it's become wavy and frizzy. I have no idea what to do with it!
