After the last time all my hair fell out although there was regrowth soon after it actually took almost a year before I had total hair cover again. By that, I mean there were no obvious bald patches.
But I waited several months before I felt ready to get my first cut at a hairstylist, because it seemed that going to a hairdresser (or a new one) seemed to always precipitate a new bout of alopecia.
So, while I could walk around wigless from about March this year, i didn't make an appointment for a haircut until August.
Then, in the three weeks between making the appointment and actually attending it, i started to get fallout again.
This time around its patchy. I have a noticeable bald patch at the front left of my head which is covered by not too obvious comb-over, except when its windy. Which is most days. I also have thinning around my part, which is less obvious.
I try to be glad that it's not all coming out at once, but I'm annoyed that I might be facing another summer of having to cover my head in public.
In desperation I have been googling hair loss treatments. I will not buy any product that is tested on animals, especially if their efficacy for my type of hair loss is uncertain.
But I will have a go at Weleda hair tonic, which has rosemary as the active ingredient, and at a rosemary shampoo and conditioner by Angel.
But first I have to do skin sensitivity tests to ensure they don't irritate my skin...

How flipping infuriating for you Violet! Bodies, honestly .... who'd have them?
Crossing fingers for a) the sensitivity testing and b) the efficacy!
yeah Pollyanna_H it has been a bit frustrating. There's been lots of regrowth there but now I've got another bald patch on the crown, which I can't see but other people can!
