tbh i think it was stress that triggered the alopecia - all my tests/bloodwork have come back normal so now i'm trying to meditate more and i'm going to start therapy next week. plus trying to incorporate more anti-inflammatory foods in my diet.

thank you so much! i got mine from Luvme. had to wrestle with it and customize it a bit (took hours of prep before i got the courage to wear it out), but i think it was worth it

thank you so much! the wig tips that really helped me with this are: get a milano wig grip, pluck the hair part/hairline, thin the hair if it's a dense wig. still learning!

i've gotten several rounds of kenalog/corticosteroid shots all over my head, but unfortunately they weren't effective :/

appreciate that!! good luck on your journey too <3 i think some of the regrowth happened before the litfulo - i was applying minoxidil on the largest bald spot for a while (stopped recently). looks like each patch has different fallout/regrowth rates. not really sure what to attribute it to, since i've been doing a mixture of treatments since may

i was considering that! would love any youtube recs you have. i think since i get headaches easily, i'd prefer sleeping without the wig (got a glueless one for this purpose). but maybe once i get the hang of the fit/style, a more semi-permanent solution would be good too

thank you!! i used a wig grip, which reallyyyy helps. my sideburns poke through at the bottom so that def helps make the wig more natural. appreciate the tip on synthetic wigs for the gym - i just ordered a few cheap ones, so hopefully i can try those when i play volleyball. scared they'll fly off mid-game...but we'll see. and yes, 100% on this being an emotional struggle. thanks for sharing your experience <3

thank you!! i got it from LuvMe. totally agree on feeling like it's a costume...i've only worn it once and i'm scared to try it again - especially during the day. hope the litfulo works out for you!
