Since I cut off my 2yrs of hair growth. I miss it. I know I could go with a wig until it grows back.

 

I was wondering about Hair extensions, Has anyone looked into it? Is there a minimum length your hair needs to be to get extensions? What is the aprox cost?

 

Thanks, everyone

I have used clip in hair extensions of a few types before I went red-head but I would have to get a new set of them that would be expensive since my red is a custom color now.  I have pictures in my gallery of the dark blond pieces I used early in my game.  You will want your hair to be about 4 to 5 inches long on top for a reason I think you can see up there.  I do not recommend the glue in kind due to their expense.  Sally Beauty Supply carries a good selection of color options, but some can get to be aboout $120.00 in human hair.

Kind of funny I was looking at hair extensions this weekend but don’t have a clue about them. I’m gonna call a couple of salons around me and make an appointment

My wife ordered me a bunch of hair extensions as a surprise for my birthday this year. She bought me 2 really cute curly buns and from a separate company she also bought me these nice looking clip-on bangs to see if I would look good in short front bangs without actually cutting my existing ones. Sadly, the front bangs never arrived. I got the curly buns but unfortunately they did not match the color shown in the pictures on the company website...at all. If anyone buys hair products like this via the web, keep this in mind.

 

Here’s an image of one that ‘sort of’ worked until my recent hair salon visit that added light caramel highlights to my hair.

My hair was growing out because of Covid not being able to get it cut.  So, I thought .. Great! I will by a 6"inch human hair top cover extension (to cover my bald spot) and to just see how it might look. 

They came in various sizes.  6 inch was the smallest, but you can always have them professionally cut to fit your hair style.


Then,  the barbers/salons opened again, got my hair cut (back to normal man short) and then the extension arrived ... too late.  Oh well, maybe I will have an opportunity to grow it out again someday. 

Looks like I will be a wig wearer unless my hair magically grows back on HRT one day?‍?

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.
