Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Video Update

@Maria – Thank you. I know the tears and sadness hair loss brings, and it’s heart breaking that any of us have to go through it. I know what the bottom feels likes, and I believe we all can move past this and live the lives we deserve regardless of what our hair decides to do. I didn’t choose hair loss, it chose me and I made a number of life altering choices since then that for over a decade took me on a path of despair, frustration, loneliness and isolation and I feel looking back I really could have done things differently, had I had the benefit of looking past the moment, had I been able to change how I viewed what was happening, had I been able to realize I was stronger than I gave myself credit for, that I could live in spite of my hair loss, I could wear a wig, I could cut my hair crazy short and actually like it and find freedom in it, I could relinquish the desire to have all my hair back and understand, some things will just take place no matter how hard we fight, or wish them different, and we need to proceed accordingly to live our best life. It took me over a decade to reach that place and I look back on so many years wasted in a self-loathing mess, and it was needless. It didn’t help, it only kept me stuck in a perpetual cycle of never ending sadness. Nowadays I spend little time on my hair loss, I cut my hair down to a manageable super short length every 3 weeks, short hair makes it look thicker and I no longer have to see it falling out, due to the length it is my bathroom isn’t swarming in fallen hairs. My sink is much relieved. I come back from the gym, shower, and grab one of my girls for the day, brush her out, swish swish, and off I go. When the short length cut I keep now no longer works, I will just shave my head completely, that’s my plan and what keeps everything copacetic for my hair loss life 🙂 My hair loss took over 10 years from me, but it doesn’t get to steal one more day.

@BW – Thank you!!!!

@Angie T – Thank you! Congrats on making the decision to start treatment and having not just a plan to start, but a plan to end with if you find the treatment isn’t working to the degree you want. That’s the best way to approach it, knowing it isn’t over if the treatment doesn’t works, it just means you just skip from plan A to plan B. Awesome. I hope your daughter’s surgery goes well next month, you’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.

@B – My bio hair isn’t doing that bad, I must say. I believe the PRP has helped to slow the progression of my hair loss which is why I continue to make that trip to Florida every 4 months. My hair cutting gal is super amazing and she has created a short cut for me that just works in making my hair look fuller and the best it can. I actually really like the way I look in short hair, I should have cut this crap off years ago! Who knew? Regarding your PRP doc, I would be reluctant to go to a doctor that hasn’t done PRP for hair loss, it’s not that he isn’t likely good at what he does, it’s just I’d prefer going to someone who has experience in doing it for what I was seeking treatment for ya know? So proceed with caution, the treatments are expensive and you do want to know if you are going to go that route that you are giving yourself the best possible chance at having a good outcome and that means also having a doc who does it for hair loss in my opinion. Not everyone that has done PRP (even when seeing docs that do it for hair loss) have found that it works, it’s very individual, as are all treatments for hair loss, for some it works, for others it doesn’t or doesn’t to the degree they can justify the costs and process (head injections). For me, I’m going to continue to do it 🙂

XOXO
