    I have some kind of alopecia, as a woman. It all started falling out when I was 14. I kept a pixie cut, dyed blonde, for over 15 years because of it. Crying in front of the mirror was inevitable all through those years.

    Wasn’t until my early 30s it started to… idk, get a little fuller, but it’s still thin. Luckily, I also stopped giving a fuck about it about then. I stopped cutting it, I stopped dying it. I now have long hair for the first time since I was 14.

    When I met my husband, he wore a hat, indoors. Whenever we go out he wears a hat still. He has thinning hair up top. The man’s so tall I hardly see it. I hardly notice it, and it doesn’t look bad anyway. I realized he feels the same for me, and most people aint gonna judge you for something like that. Why do we judge ourselves so harshly?

    Anyway, Topix makes a fiber powder. I cried with joy the first time I used it. It’s not a permanent solution nor an everyday one, but if you have an event to attend, I highly recommend it for a boost of confidence.
