If your hair was falling out. What would you do?

Well that's it really. I have a form of allopecia. It won't ever grow back.

I have a bald patch 3inch long on back of my head.

Shoulder length brown hair.

This is really getting me down.

I now feel the only thing I can do is have my hair up so to hide it.

Shall I shave it all off and wear a wig?

I think I would probably work on a variety of up-dos that disguised it, rather than opting for a wig - cant imagine it's very comfortable... Sorry it's getting you down, though Sad

Don't shave it off.
What does your hairdresser suggest, depending on where the patch is, is there any way of having a few extensions put in, to help cover it?

Apologies if that's a daft idea :)

I think there's been another thread about hair loss in the past couple of weeks, maybe have a look there?

Oh OWO, sorry to hear this. Are you sure it's not baby hormones doing it for you? (and am hoping you are who I think you are and that makes sense).

Oh that's just rubbish. Alopecia is just cruel, IMHO. There is loads of support sites list here but I'm-a-guessing you've looked into this already. I so wish I had advice/wisdom/help for you. If it helps, you are v pretty indeed so keep smiling and no-one should even notice
