Hello Dottie. You had wrtten to me about a month ago about emu oil and I'm just now getting back to you. I am sorry that it has taken me so long. I visit another hair loss site frequently and I've let this one slip. Anyhow, I get...
It has turned me into a vain person. I cry constantly, I don't like even a little the way I look. My self confidence has been compromised. Now I find myself checking out everyone's hair. I don't like that I've become this type of person.
About Me
About Me:
I am 28 years old. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 4 beautiful children. My second child sparked my androgenetic alopecia. I didn't notice it until after my third child. I have naturally very thick, very curly dark brown hair. It is now about 50% thinner and my curls are gone. I am a full time student and I homeschool my children. I am a Christian and am relying heavily on prayer and the Lord's grace to get me through this awfully trying time.
Hey Amber, I noticed that you list emu oil in your treatment regimen. I have been reading a lot about the benefits of emu oil on the internet lately and I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions about it. How long have you been using it and have you noticed any difference? How many times a day do you apply the oil, and how long do you leave it on? Do you use the shampoo and conditioner or just the oil? Which brand do you use?
I hope you don't mind my barrage of questions, but I have learned to ask a lot of questions any time I read about something new that may help. I hate to get my hopes up, spend a lot of money on the newest product promising regrowth, and then be terribly disappointed when the new product doesn't fulfill its promises. I guess I'm turning into a bit of a sceptic... but this really does sound as if it may help. Thanks, Dottie
Amber, We have a few things in common already. I to am married to my high school sweetheart, but we only have a cat so far, no kiddos yet. I'm also standing on my faith and praying lots that God will sustain me through this. I don't have a diagnosis yet, and am trying to hurry the docs along. I also had thick curly hair, that has become flat and dull. I'm just praying that hopefully sometime soon I'll have some answers so I can start living again and not obsessing over my hair all the time! I'm really glad that I found this support system so early in this ordeal! Heather
