(Actually, this is very deja-vu. Faith has written in with a Hair 911 previously.)
Hi I'm Faith, Edna's mum. Yes, it's the same Edna that was gonna be colored. I did not color her thankfully and Z, you didn't have to apologize, I was frankly very honored to see Edna featured on the blog in that way :) Anyhow..here is the deal. So Edna was at the middle stage where you can't call it a twa anymore but it is not long enough. I was frankly frustrated with the limiting way I could wear my hair in the winter so I went to get a weave. The problem was, I didnt think the tight weaving would further recede the hairline that I had been recovering for months. Now, I just took out the weave and there is literally a patch on the side of my head.Yes, I hear the 'I told you so' bells ringing, but other people did weaves, why does my own have to be different? I have reconciled with that fact, but you see, Edna is longer on the overall and that makes my patch look like an island, so I was thinking of going bald..there is really no point of trying every single day to hide my patch because there is a similiar but smaller one on my other side of my head..problem is...I feel that bald is like HUMONGOUS CHANGE. Mind you, I don't have great skin..like seriously, I'm not kidding. But I don't wear makeup to cover my discolorations because I truly stopped giving a shit- if you don't like me cuz of that..screw you..mind my french :) Anyhow, so what should I do, I will see a dermatologist this week (about both lol) but I am contemplating getting a wig and going bald..and wearing a fresh twa when my hair grows out. HELLLLP!!!
I'm sleep-deprived right now, so I'm going to come back when I'm fully conscious and give feedback. In the meantime, you know what to do in the comments. Make it happen :)

I dont think you should go bald. Why sacrifice all the hard work thus far? If you are going to get wig anyway after going bald why not just get one and wear it to cover up your patches until it they grow in more, then you can just get your hair trimmed to even it out a little bit.
castor oil does the trick for thinning edges! u just have to baby ur hair back to its original state. oil treatments and massage when necessary!
I don't think you have to go bald either. I think that a trim to get the rest closer in length and then braids/a weave would be a good intermediate hairstyle while you grow it out. depending on how large the difference is, it might not take that long to grow it back.
Its Faith here
Thanks guys.. i really appreciate the support,it has been a trying and anxiety cramped time getting used to my hair.On the flip side i was trying to use gel to make the area look like a fade.at the end of the day its just hair..keeping it simple makes life so much easier.
If you wear a wig, always use a wig cap, I did not and have a bald spot in my crown area the size of the wig net in the crown of the wig. I am trying monistat, Derm Organic shampoo or co-washing, a Keratin conditioner to strenghten hair, Vatika and Amla oil when that comes (some have had great sucess with the Indian oils and shampoo bars). Weaves and wigs damage the hair. We have to love our own hair.
