Well decided to be brave and straighten my hair to see how thin it really is and thanks to all my lovely meds give it another year or two and I will have none.i used to have such lovely thick hair.been getting away with it as I had a perm but to thin now to even put volume in a perm but that's life.been having a look at getting a wig ,decided on a style but not colour as yet.maybe get two wigs two different colours.always fancied dark blonde .
Bye for now

Hi Milly
I have a friend who has breast cancer at the mo. She has bought more than one wig and they are so different! She has decided to have fun with her hair/wigs
and why not?
Well done you
Love

I love the idea of having a wig, just might have a look for myself for those bad hair days - and I get plenty of those as I have very fine hair. Not helped by long term steroid use. Hmm, shopping today then0

I looked in to the price of wigs recently as I noticed alot of pop stars where wigs to look different. And I thought rather than be drastic and change my hair colour to dramatic have a wig! But when I saw the price I freaked and thought against it, the cheapest wig was over £100! And just as a bit of fun £100 is way too much to spend!0

Hi Milly
You just go and treat yourself to a couple of wigs, I am sure the transformation will cheer you up no end, I can sympatise, I have androgenetic alopecia so will need a wig myself at some point, at least I will know where to come to for pointers when that day comes.......hope you have a lovely weekend..........Marie xxSmile a while and while you smile
smile another smile and soon there
will be miles and miles of smiles
just because you smiled I wish your
day is full of Smiles0 -
Thank you all for your relies.i am going to get a wig before I am forced to as its my choose at the moment and I am going to see my hairdresser and see what style will suit me for now while I have enough to do something with.my son was moaning how thick him hair was the other day and told him he gets it from me and don't moan as he may go bald like this dad when his older.
Bye for now

I've always had baby-fine hair, I guess it's a little thinner now due to age and meth. I've lost qute a few eyelashes too. I've now had my hair cut really short but left a little length on top for the natural curl to bounce up which it still valliantly tries to do - this also makes it easier to wash and I leave it to dry naturally which is now even quicker. I am aware that there are supplements one can take to encourage hair and nail growth but whether these would interract with the meds is something that needs discussing with your rheumatology nurse.

PS re wigs, why not go for summat different? I'd opt for fluorescent colours - they're pretty cheap too! A costume shop in town has a wonderful 'Purdey' style in electric blue . . . . . . .Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0
