Post: Newness of Piece and Wiggy Look

Jake, No, I had it cut in by a professional hair stylist. I think it looks ok, but just a bit too poofy for my taste. ~E

I haven't had one person look at my "new hair" funny. In fact, I received 2 compliments about the new look (wet hair). Still, I don't like the poof look one bit! ~E :?

I used a product which had minoxidil in it for about 6 years. I didn't get much new growth, but for awhile, it seemed to help me maintain some. Then I gradually began to lose the hairloss battle. O...
