How do you live with your hairloss?
Most of the time I just do a weird combover and that works for me. Somedays when it's really bad I use Toppik. That is some good stuff, but if it rains your in trouble lol.

Blow Dryers Rule!
As a female living with hair loss I work on self acceptance. That and I invest in a super duper hair dryer and I have an arsenal of thickening products. I'm quite sure I've tried every thickening shampoo on the market. My shower looks like the shampoo isle of the grocery store! I have heard pretty favorable things about toppik though I haven't yet used it myself.

Toppik works great giving you the appearance of more hair. I think women can use it too, just make sure you get the right color to match your hair.
I've used many thickening shampoos as well. A good one I've come across is Thicker Fuller Hair. I got it for $5 at Walgreens. It works pretty well too.

Cosmetic concealers can be great if you learn how to finesse them. I currently use DermMatch, but I've used the keratin fiber based products in the past with good results.

i used to use toppik. i havent used it in a while but it worked pretty well for me. if you use too much it can get kind of ugly though. ive just been going without anything lately and things have been ok. but its funny: there must be something different about the water where im living now...because my hair just doesnt look as good when im here. i think we have some crazy static energy in the house here too because it's a real struggle to try to get me hair to behave when im styling it. ive got to get one of those hair dryers that reduces static. i used to have one and it worked great.

Will Toppick or Dermatch help in the hairline? Can I buy it in a store or just online?
Sorry for all the questions guys, but don't think I remember hearing Spencer talk about this on the show.

I have a fine assortment of fashionable hats...
I don't think I could ever use something temporary. I really really hope I have a successful transplant and I'm good to go from there but we'll see.

Lefty, where are you having your hair transplant performed?

I'm not sure I can said I've really been "living" with my hair loss. I make a rare occassional appearance at family gatherings and social events. Not much living going on here. I have my own very fine collection of hats... I actually like the way I look in THEM, it's when they come off thats a problem.

Hi Jarrod
Here are some pictures of myself using nanogen fibres.
Without them my life would have been totally different.It provides me with the confidence i need in hiding my bald area.
Soon though i wont need them after having my HTs with Shapiro medical.
