Lack Of Hair Question

So I have been balding for the past 20 years. What is the best hope I have of recovering hair loss with spiro and or fin? They are working some but I have heard that recovering all the loss is almost hopeless :(

Aside from surgery and plugs I think wigs/hair systems are my only real option. I'd like to hear from any girls here using one of those and where I might find a good quality one myself.

Thanks!

Honey......I use wigs...

I still have most of my hair and I have a 16" ponytail, but a very high forehead...I've always had that...

Although I pass often without the wig.....

Be sure to get a good quality wig...cheap/poor quality ones are worse than no wig at all...

Go for the human hair types (Although, there are some VERY good synthetic ones out there)

If you live where you have access to a wig shop...that is way better than mail order...you can try them on!

Hon! I adore wigs and found in time wearing one feels more natural than going without! I shop Paula Young.com online and have been totally satisfied. Their synthetic wigs look totally natural and are easy as far as upkeep. The thing about a wig is that you can have perfect hair almost instantly and the right style and color can do wonders for your appearance! I was lucky the first wig I chose--and my favorite was the style and color of one of my sister's natural hair. It was perfect for my complexion and the shape of my face. Call me vain but having perfect hair is really important to me and wearing a wig I feel in no way deprived by not having perfect natural hair.

Hugs, Ricka

I just washed the one wig that I wear the most...

It's nice to put it in the sink and do it and not have to walk around with a towel on my head for a period of time!...LOL

But Donna the towel is the fun part. lol

I heard Human hair is better cuz you can style it whatever way you like, and you can wash it like real hair cuz it is.

Then a human hair lace-front sounds like it would be perfect. They adhesively attach directly to the scalp around the hairline and can be worn while bathing & swimming for about a month!

Yes, Virginia....

I've done some reading on those and I think that I'd love to try one...

I have a Beverly Johnson lace front synthetic that I absolutely love, Donna Jean. They are amazingly light weight. I've wore mine in the scorching high 90 degree days we've had the last few weeks and forget I even have it on. The best thing about lace fronts is you can use adhesive or wear them like a regular wig. Either way, you get that amazing natural hairline and the ability to style the wig however you like.

Nice! You really do look lovely!

Oh yeah....the wig......

I want to look into the lace fronts...

Yes, it is. Thank you, Donna Jean. LOL, I keep telling you all I'm skinny as a rail- all 5' 11", 146 pounds of me! I tend to be a bit of a tomboy, but love choker halters. They are perfect for flat-chested beanpoles like me. I wore that pink top with a pair of jean shorts and white flats last Tuesday when I spent the day out and about as my female self.

I have been reluctant to post a picture but it was the only way to really show you how natural lace front wigs are. And they are sooo easy. I slip it on over my wig cap, run a comb through it and I'm out the door. Part it, flip it, brush it over my ear, put my sunglasses on it, I absolutely love my lace front wig!

Virginia, love the pic and wig. It looks good on you. I am your height but weigh 138 pounds. I don't think of myself as too skinny, how about you?

(at the risk of high jacking the thread)

You are so sweet, Sarah, thank you!

Do I think of myself as too thin? Well, it sort of depends on whether I am expressing myself as a girl or a guy. As a girl, I would like to be closer to 140. As a guy, I would like to be back to the 162 pounds I had been for the last 25 years. When my female self began to express herself about a year and a half ago, something "changed" in my metabolism. My wife says I am literally burning up when she cuddles against me while we sleep. I haven't done anything different, but it seems my body found a new happy spot and the weight dropped off of me like a rock. I fluctuate between 144 and 152 now depending on whether I am dripping with sweat after doing yard work or an evening of pizza and beer. I have been on HRT since the beginning of the year and it has had zip, zero nada effect on my weight.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.

      Lunch was at Cabaret, still free.  The place was quiet: it was the sort of place you took a business client to impress them, and the few other people were in business suits.  Most of the legal profession was there.   She told him of the morning's frustrations, breaking her own rule about confidentiality.  She asked Karen how the branding was going, and Karen had snapped back that she had not started on it yet - they had all these proposals.  Taylor had explained that it was important, for the two o'clock meeting, and Karen told her to do it herself.  Karen pointed out that Taylor could not touch her - her uncle was on the Board and her brother was VP of Manufacturing.  Nor would the two computer guys go out to the plant - they were playing some kind of MMORPG and simply not available. If she wanted the pictures, she should go.  Mary prayed an Ave Maria, but both she and Brenda were racing to get the proposal out. The client wanted it Friday for review.   She didn't bring up what Mrs. McCarthy had told her.  She wasn't sure how to approach it.  She thought of telling her of a 'something more comfortable' she had bought in case he ever DID show up at her door. It was in the bottom drawer of her dresser, ready to go.  Instead she talked about moving to a place with a garage.  Several of the abandoned houses had one, and they had been maintained well with China cash.   Bob had finally realized that when he was introduced as Bob, Taylor's boyfriend, that was just how things were done here. Other people had introduced each other in terms of family relationships, which were strong.  Long before you found out anything else about someone, you knew how they were related.  Family kept people from leaving Millville.    "What is the real name of this town, anyway?"   She laughed.  "I am trying to find that out.  It's 'Welcome to Millvale' when you come into town from the north, and 'Welcome to Millville' on the south.  I have counted two other variants."   "What a town. Roosevelt is like that, with the families, but there is only one spelling."

      Nothing wrong with that. I'm glad that you found what makes you happy! Just curious what does your wife think? If it's too personal I understand.
