Help, New Member with Hair Loss

Hi, I'm a new member and I found this message board through the Yahoo Search Engine. Okay, here's my problem:

About a month ago, I decided to put Two-Strand Twists in my hair to let it rest and grow, instead it backfired . Now one side of my hair has thinned, and the top of my hair has also thinned so much, that I cannot put it into any style. It's heart breaking to me, because I've always had problems with my hair since I was in elementary school, and now i'm a sophomore in college and I can't even keep a full head of hair for more than a year. I worked so hard to grow my hair back, and now its back to square one .

I plan on getting my hair done in a sewn-in weave until it grows back.. Is that a good idea, because I don't want to be more bald than I already am.

If anyone had any advice that could re-grow my hair, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You

I don't know about getting a sew-in if your hair is already damaged. I don't know what your length is, but I'd suggest doing loose buns or ponytails instead. If you decide to get a sew-in make sure your hair is not braided too tight as to cause more stress/pulling on your already thinning spots.  Also you want to make sure not to keep it in for a prolonged period of time and keeping your hair moisturized is a must!  A lot of women are getting good results also w/ the Shapley's MTG for growth(you can do a search for more info). I read about the Lenzi's request on a different site also and feedback was pretty good. I'm sure the other ladies will have plenty of other helpful suggestions/info for you.

Welcome & good luck

U can also get a wig...where exactly is the scalp showing?
