"Whats it like to go bald?"
Kind of depressing lol!
But it's me as I am, I keep it shaved short and I often get told by women how much it suits me.I myself hate it but if those ladies like it then I guess that's to the good!
Hello
Gothic Hedge here. So what do you do when you ask for a subtle coppery light brown and it comes out, well, purple. I was too embarressed to say anything, just shot out of the salon like a scalded cat. Can I have it dyed again so soon and how do I know I can trust the next lot, I usually do it myself and never have a problem. Now I think I have to go out and buy lots of black eyeliner and a cape!

Ok I have never lost my hair - but one of my very bestest best friends in the world has alopecia - she is bald all over. By this I mean no eyelashes, eyebrows, body hair - nothing!
She gets very very embarrassed about it - and I tend to go with her to help her choose a new wig, and have it cut (yes a good wig needs cutting to suit your face like normal hair). She cannot afford human hair wigs as they mould after 8 weeks of constant use, so it has to be the not quite so nice fake hair. The NHS refuse to pay more than £50 a wig (a good wig even non human costs between £150-300), and then you have to find a hairdresses that specialises in hairpieces and has a discrete room they can do the fitting and cutting in (another £80)and then the special washing soloutions andother £60 a month. All this is every 4months or so.
Personally i think she looks fabulous without her wig on - but she isnt brave enough to go bald in public - such a shame. It effects her live in every form - from jobs, attitude and confidence! She is a beautiful woman and men fall quickly for her huge brown eyes but she builds a wall and pushes them away! Its her defence against getting hurt! she was bullied mercilessly at school for her condition! she is a very strong lady and has had to deal with alot due to the simple fact she has no hair.
I guess what I am getting at is that yes a womans hair is very very important to her, and i know that it can effect every part of your life. However should i lose mine, I know I would have the best person there to support me!
Hi Kiss,
Hi everyone else,
I'm fascinated by the level of science and technology that goes into hair care products. I have recently taken to using my girlfriends conditioner that is espicially for 'brown tones'. How does that work then?
Should I carry on doing this?
Am I worth it?
Never mind about aqua sheres, what can I do about having purple hair?

I think bluff it out, although I'm a little old to be a goth.
Despite it looking like a hedge most of the time I think my hair is my best feature. Shave it!!! Never.

Hi Kissy wissy woo,
I'll tell you a secret, if you promise not to tell anyone else.
Just before I married Mr W, I went to the hairdressers just to get a trim & tidy up. At the time, I was a 21 year old, busty size 10 with long "shaggy" peroxide blonde hair. In my leathers & jeans I was the archetypal "biker chick." In no uncertain terms, I told the hairdresser to "just give me a trim." She trimmed, and she trimmed, and she trimmed.
I went in looking like a biker babe, and came out looking like Felicity Kendal.
To this day, I have never been back to a salon! :scared:
I don't see what the problem is - I've always been partial to the gothic look...
And, yes, I have joined the balding, hair cut short brigade, before anyone tries to banter me...
)
I was so bloody pleased when the last bit went. 
Needless to say she was invited to the grand opening when they eventually raised the millions that they needed!
for Mrs Kiss too, not only for what she's been through but for being brave enough to shave her head.
I did at one point consider having it incredibly short but I think I grew out of that phase very quickly, before I got to the hairdresssers anyway 
yeah... I've seen the pics!!! :giggle: :rotflmao:
