I have been wearing a hair replacement for 11 years. I started with a braided weave then switched to one with clips in the front. My current one is held with adhesive/glue. It only comes off when I go for a hair cut/readjustment monthly. It's human hair...I wash, blowdry, curl, etc. daily.

Hi!

Hmmmmmm.....I'm a cosmo grad and hair extensions and weaves can be hard on existing hair and it could make your fragile, thinning hair worse - and I'm sure that you want to make sure that you keep all of the hair that you can. :)You want to try to not put stress on your hair and extensions and weaves will cause stress. Depending on where your hair loss is occuring, I have a few recommendations. If you have wavy or curly hair (long or short), try a product like Springing Curls Mousse by Loreal. I use this product and I have had great results. Apply to damp hair, and blow dry or diffuse on low slowly scrunching and holding your hair in sections as it dries. This creates volume and really enhances your curls to make you look like you have a lot more hair.

Also, there is a product available called Toppik. It is essentially a shaker can of fibers that you shake onto thinning areas. You buy it in a color to match your hair and it sticks to your hair through static cling. Many women (including some on this forum) have given this product rave reviews because it really does work to "fill in" thinning areas. One of my friends says that her family now notices if she doesn't use it - it's that good. You can do buy it online - do a search for it. I know this sounds like a weird product but I guess it's really great.

Lastly, my cousin has PCOS and she has experienced overall hairloss and not male pattern hairloss (she's 30). Her hair is now extremely thin all over but she looked great this Christmas with a "fall". She puts her hair into a ponytail and attaches the "fall" to the base of her ponytail and it looks like she has a full, bushy pony. It looks really cool. No one can even tell that she uses a hair piece. A fall is a hair piece that looks like a ponytail. You can now buy really nice falls that do not look fake or like a wig. You can get them in so many colors that you can find one to match your hair almost perfectly. You can buy them now at many malls and wig shops. Anyway, I hope that this helps some. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to e-mail!! God bless, Tera jasonandtera@att.net
