Dreaded Hole in the Afro Has Begun (pic)

Well, I'm going out this weekend with hubby to look for a wig. As you can see the thinning is progressing and I now officially have a hole in my afro. Preop it was my greatest fear but I have come to terms with it. Right now it's only noticeable when I hold my head down or when someone is standing over me, which isn't hard as I am 5'3". I think the wig solution will make me feel better and less self conscious about it.

If you want to see it, go to my pics & look in the Hair Issues Album. I will post pics of the wig after I get it. I guess I'll be a real Diva when I add the wig to my new frame. LOL!

I'm a natural girl too.  The ponytail has gotten me through it.  My hair is already thin so it was not as obvious as it would have been If I had a nice tight fro.   The fallout will slow down and the hair will grow back and you will be that gorgeous diva wig or no wig. 

I wear a natural also, and have been considering going even shorter, have you ever considered cutting it down a little closer, or maybe even something similar to the way Amber Rose has her hair cut.. I am going to take mine all the way down when I get closer to my goal weight. It is going to be my gift to myself... I just need to get closer to that weight to make it happen... Good luck and I hope you find a solution that leaves you feeling like the Diva you are!

Blessings,
Michelle

The shorter I go the more noticeable it is. I had to Google Amber Rose, at first I thought she was a BAFer, LOL. That's too bold for me. You look like you could pull it off like a true Diva!

I'll post some pics after I get the wig. I'm thinking of a Rihanna look with less bangs.

No matter what you decide I know you will look great. You have done a great job with your tool and you look amazing. I also think you remind me of my sister, I will send you her name on the BL, I am sure you know of her, she lives in Nashville also... Good luck with your new do, and congrats on your success!

Blessings,
Michelle

Just to give you hope, it does rebound. Just like the body adjust to the amount of food you give it and it is possible to gain; your body will adjust to your new nutritional options and your hair will start to grow and be less patchy. I know it is a shock at first but it is temporary.

Mine changed texture...at least the front did. The kitchen is still mandango, lol.

I'll keep hope alive!

This is my solution...and he cuts my hair...an I love it....I am seriously thinking about rocking bald. The bald spots depress me so I keep just a peach fuzz and get all kinds of compliments and i love it as well.  




I think you will be a real DIVA regardless

Tricie, you are just a doll! I went out today and bought something. I am posting it in my "Hair Issues" album on my profile. It is set to friends only. I'm sending you a friend's request if you would like to see them.
