You can always crop your head like CS said, but smiling faces are much more fab. :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188333 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:41:17 +0000 Banana 188333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you chimed in Taylor! I'm thrilled that you remembered me!</p> <p>Yes, that cut did seem to work, but I seem to be having some trouble styling it. I've been keeping it long on top, so it just sort of hangs in my face and I end up tucking it behind my ears.</p> <p>At this point, I'd love to just cut it really short, but I'm afraid that it will show the thinning even more. Honestly, sometimes I think about shaving it all off. I'm just tired of dealing with it!</p> <p>At least my wardrobe is coming together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188302 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:08:15 +0000 Lisa 188302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for delurking and welcome! Don't worry about the hair, you can always crop out your head/face if you want to post photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188239 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:01:58 +0000 taylor 188239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally remember you Banana!! Nice to see you back.</p> <p>I think we talked a little shorter with layers and some highlights for texture!! Does that seem to work for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188169 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:48:20 +0000 Banana 188169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the warm welcome! You ladies are truly "Fab".</p> <p>As far as my hair is concerned, I have a condition called Androgenetic Alopecia. I'm using several treatments (with my doctor's blessings) and hope to have it under some control soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188138 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:11:50 +0000 Louise 188138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi and welcome, I understand your feeling self consious but you're among friends here and Angie allows no unkind comments x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188136 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:10:49 +0000 bj1111 188136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>banana-- </p> <p>*hugs*... i have alopecia areata and lost 90% of my hair in my mid-twenties. wore a wig for a year, spent another two years growing out my hair. i still shudder when i think about that time. no advice here since it started so suddenly and then stopped. i still lose small handfuls of hair every so often and find random quarter-size areas of bare scalp now and then. </p> <p>although i don't know why your hair is thinning, i know what you're going through. *more hugs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188130 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:06:18 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 188130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re-Welcome!</p> <p>Great to hear from you - I've learnt so much from Angie's wonderful blog too and I am getting much more confident about putting things together and trying new ideas. I think it's a great idea to post a picture (everyone feels uncomfortable and self-conscious initially) - I found it really helped me focus on getting things more sorted.</p> <p>Look forward to seeing your post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188129 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:06:02 +0000 chewyspaghetti 188129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to hear from you again Banana. You know you can always crop your head out of a photo if you're self conscious. Have you read Angie's MOTG formula posts? I find those really helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delurking-again#post-188126 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:02:12 +0000 Banana 188126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>I've been a lurker for a while and LOVE reading this blog! I posted a few months for help with my hair and you were all so kind and helpful. </p> <p>Since then, I've been "upping my game" fashion wise. I work part-time in a pretty conservative environment and am a MOTG the rest of the week. I've got the work thing pretty much covered, but my casual wardrobe consisted of mostly ill-fitting jeans and ratty t-shirts. I'm coming along slowly with that part of my wardrobe. </p> <p>I'm *very* self conscious about posting a picture of myself due to my thinning hair, but hope to do it soon since I am due for a haircut and looking for some new ideas. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
