I had to because when I cut my hair normally with. Scissors it looked like this


I had a bad breakup and thought of ending it all so with stress and anxiety my hair fell out

So I took your advice and started afresh.
Since then my hair looks darker and more full (which means it has thickened!)

From this

The patches are still there but not as unsightly

I'm using this whipped coconut oil and Shea butter with almond oil and jojoba as a pomade and I mixed it with dr miracles hot Gro for the tingly feel

You look fierce with your fade and the wig. Will be happy to follow your journey.
 
Wow! You have very striking features and look beautiful with the fade!

Sorry, no advice..but what you're doing seems to be working well
 
Your really pretty! Have you wore ur fade in front of your friends & family. If not, I would start there. Then start wearing ur fade as u shop etc... & before long you won't feel as insecure.

Your making great progress!

You're very beautiful with the fade and wig. I agree with a previous poster, show yourself to your close friends and family first and work you way from there. Next thing you know you'll be rocking a BAA and so on. :)
 
absolutely beautiful! You'll do fine. And kuddos for the break-up! Summa time is coming and you're going into summer with the right style and attitude!

New start, endless possibilities....
 
You look really good with the fade, for real. Alot of people don't have the face for it. Unless you are planning on keeping it that way for a bit or planning to BC again, rock it while you can!! I chopped my hair off less than a year ago and the rate at it which it's growing, it will probably be a little bit above shoulder by the end of the year and I don't think I want to cut it off again. So rock it while you can!!!!
 
OP you kinda look like Black Chyna with that wig on & I think she's a pretty girl! I didn't love my TWA at first either. At least you have a nice wig to hide out under until you build your confidence.

Off topic, but shockolate why did your siggy make me :lachen:? I love it!
 
Beautiful progress.

I have always wondered if actual stress could make the hair fall out.

I mean, emotional distress only, or were you actively pulling out your hair due to your pain.

If you don't mind sharing.

Hair is growing constantly. I look forward to your updates.
 
ermm i know this is long hair care forum but in the name of black jesus i don't think you need hair. you and your fade are sickening. I know now that if i ever shave my head i'm going to get me some lashes, kiss my teeth and get on with my day. bravo

no you didnt say black Jesus!!! :drunk::lol::lol::lol:
 
I'm glad you chose to do the fade. I didn't post in the opinion thread because it seemed everyone was against shaving. It looks good -nice and even, and you can feel comfortable with or without wig.
 
Once ur fade grows in a tad more in the problem sits I say ROCK IT!! Cuz you have the PERFECT face for it. You'll look great!
 
Gorgeous!! Enjoy your fade, i did the same thing back in december.

Lemme know if u need any styling tips cause that period between fade and teeny fro wooo chile. It can be rough.

Sent from my phone-typos to be expected :)
 
kudos to you!! I did my BC four days ago and I am wearing a wig to work but this weekend I am going by my family......once they are cool with it I am going to work without the wig!!! You look good with or without the wig!!
