Hello to all.
Last year I joined this site and I was using minoxidil and a derma-roller. I have since given up on that and stopped taking Biotin as well. In short, I just quit the hair loss fight.
Since, then I don't think my hair loss has gotten any worse. I selected a different hair style, and comb my hair forward to conceal my fading hairline. It's not the style I want, but out of the ones I can pull off, its the one I'll settle for. If it has, it isn't noticeable. However, I still long for my hair. I can't get myself to jump on board with the transplant route. Mainly, because I can't afford it, and I fear the hair would just fall out again, resulting in a major waste of money.
So, I've been looking into buying a wig. I guess that's a blunt way of stating it, but I've come to terms with it. Once upon a time this idea was an absolute no for me, but I think I'm warming up to it, especially if it will help me feel normal again and regain my self confidence. I checked into the local hair replacement system, but their prices are too steep for me as well. But I found that you can buy the wig and accessories (adhesive, etc) online and do this yourself.
I have a couple of concerns:
1) If you use adhesive, what's it like taking a shower? Which brings me to my next question...
2) I have dry scalp/dandruff. I use H&S, which keeps it under control. How would this affect it?
3) How strong is the adhesive? Can I still be active, or is my wig going to fall off while I'm rolling around on a mat in the gym?
Any advice is appreciated.
