They said ” Your hair is your crowning glory”. I do really believe on this saying. It really change the way you look. Last January 3, 2012. I bought a synthetic long hair wig. It do gives a glam in my face. Last January 28, 2012, I bought another sathura synthetic mid length wavy wig. This time, I am confident how I look for I suits to my complexion and I knew already how I carry the wig. Unlike the first time I had it that I am uncomfortable of wearing it.
Wearing a wig was not my dream for I have my healthy and wavy hair. However, it opens my perspective to appreciate how I look if I have different hair style and color. But wearing it is not easy. I experienced itching in my head and humidity increases especially in absence of air conditioner.
I discovered a small patch of my hairline last December. Since then, everyday my hair kept falling especially when I took a bath and combed my hair. I went to the salon and cut my hair. The hair dresser said that it is “alopecia”. I was just confident that it is not a serious problem. He said to stop using hair shine products and avoid using conditioner. I followed what he said. I even bought “LUAT”. But I didn’t use any conditioner. Since that day, my hair sheds off drastically. For it tangled tightly and it was difficult to combed at all. When I brushed it hard, that portion which was tangled eventually sheds off. The worst falling of hair that I experienced was last January 4, 2012. I even shouted and cried of what I have seen. That’s the time that I felt scared. Scared of what might happened to me. I’m I dying? or do I have a serious disease? I am really upset of my situation. Only God and my family are my sole strength that I have.
I went to a dermatologist named Dr. Vicente Verallo. Upon checking my hair, he said. I found two possible type of disease. One is the telogen effluvium and the other one is alopecia aorta. In order to know the real diagnose to my case. He suggested to have biospy test. After 5 days of being upset of what would be the result, I was scared to death. The agony became worst when the result was delayed. After two weeks of waiting, I was relieved upon knowing that I am experiencing TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM, it is a scalp disorder characterized by falling and thinning of hair due to childbirth, fever and eating disorder. The doctor said that there is no need of taking medicine for it will grow after three months. Eventually, my hair grows faster after I shaved it.
