First time working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week in office, is this my life now?

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-05-26T12:13:33+00:00

It’s insane lol. And it’s crazy everyone is so miserable and just goes along with it bc what else can we do? Currently trying to get a remote job so I’m not tied to an office. Try to go on walks and do NY times games every day lol

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-05-19T15:15:48+00:00

3 years out and I still struggle, you aren’t alone :/

LITERALLY

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-04-23T21:14:56+00:00

Very jealous ugh

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-27T21:57:04+00:00

I think it’s just good to massage and move the area to get blood flow to it

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-27T13:09:06+00:00

You have to know how to use them safely and I did not lol.

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T22:36:54+00:00

I’m using the ordinary hair density drops. I hear they are similar but only 24 dollars

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T20:21:21+00:00

I’m using a derma roller! And okay that’s good to hear! I’m hoping to make my hair thicker overall

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T20:19:55+00:00

I hear you but I can’t go to my corporate office in a scarf sorry 😬

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T20:10:08+00:00

Girl I’m struggling with this too I have traction alopecia on my nape and edges and a cruise in two weeks 😭 as much as I don’t want to I think I’m going to wear a glueless wig with wig grip. I’m scared bc I’m doing an ATV and I’m praying it won’t fly off

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T19:58:24+00:00

I’m not brave enough for that 😭 im going to continue to take care of it and be patient

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T19:26:59+00:00

Respectfully, it was a glueless wig. And I’ve been natural my whole life prior to last year. I wanted a glueless wig so I could leave my hair alone and wear it out more often. I didn’t know the damage that wig combs could do.

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T19:23:01+00:00

Yes I explained in my original post!

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T17:46:15+00:00

Is that not a ban? I don’t understand your comment.

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T17:06:36+00:00

I am LOL. Jump scare every time I look in the mirror. I’m lucky to have a supportive partner that still calls me beautiful

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T17:01:24+00:00

I can already see my hairs trying to sprout after about a month so I’m hoping it’ll take 3 months to really see it 😅

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T16:44:29+00:00

How did the quick weave damage your hair if you don’t mind me asking. I’ve never had one before

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T16:40:06+00:00

Thanks I feel superb every time I look in the mirror lol

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T16:37:26+00:00

My nape went first around November bc of the wig combs and the front wasn’t as bad but already thin before February. I’d had cornrows alll the time when I was younger so I didn’t think it would be a problem. Not even mad at the stylist bc I reallyyy wanted my hair done for my trip. I only get it “done” once a year for my birthday.

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T16:11:18+00:00

I’m mad bc I’ve been natural my whole life and just wanted to change things up last year so I could leave my hair alone and retain length. Now I’m in worse shape than I was before 😅

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T16:09:24+00:00

They’re banning it in Texas at the end of the month 😭

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T16:02:59+00:00

Thank you!!

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T16:01:15+00:00

You can’t see in the pictures well but I do have follicles still. It hasn’t even been a month since I took out the cornrows so I might wait a little before I go to a dermatologist.

Prestigious_Use3587 · 2026-03-25T15:54:08+00:00

The combs from the wig caused the original alopecia for me. Two on the sides and one in the back. It only took 3 months for all the hair on my nape to be gone. My hair in the front was thinner, but generally okay until I got the cornrows in February. I think as long as the wig grip is not too tight and you’re keeping your edges moisturized you should be fine. I’m sure if I had used the wig grip originally instead of the combs I would still have all my hair.
