On May 6, 2023, I finally got married after 18 years of relationship with the one who is now my husband. He took \u201ca little\u201d time before proposing! I was obviously looking forward to this wedding! But I was also quite apprehensive because I have had androgenetic alopecia since I was 20 years old. So I had to find a solution to look my best on the big day \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you probably know, the hair topper was obviously my solution, but it didn't come without some doubts and apprehensions. I share everything in this article!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My apprehensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My androgenetic alopecia was diagnosed when I was 20 years old. At that time, it wasn't very noticeable yet. But 10 years later, my scalp started to really thin out, and my alopecia became visible. I often found myself thinking about my future wedding with apprehension. How would I be able to feel beautiful on that day? Would I be able to achieve a decent hairstyle? All of this worried and saddened me a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, I even found myself resenting my partner for not proposing faster because of that. I thought that the longer he waited, the more disastrous and pathetic the result would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But around 30, it was also the age when I wore my first hair topper. Discovering this solution was a real relief for me in my daily life. But it also removed those apprehensions related to my potential future wedding! I now knew that I could feel good that day despite my progressing alopecia over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the state of my alopecia a few weeks before my wedding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may not seem catastrophic here. But my alopecia is so extensive that it would have been really complicated to have a beautiful hairstyle. A lot of thickening powder would have been needed. And the bun would have definitely been very low in volume, which I think would have ruined the look on the wedding day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hair topper, yes, but with what hairstyle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was ultimately relieved to know that I would have a worthy hairstyle for the big day. But as a regular hair topper user, I also know that it can sometimes shift a bit during the day. My hairline is very sparse. Even a slight shift of a few millimeters can quickly become visible (at least to me). In my daily life, I know I have the reflex to check from time to time that everything is in place. But I knew I might not have the opportunity to do so on the big day. I was also afraid that the bun wouldn't hold up and that I would turn into a pumpkin with a toupee after midnight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I first thought about opting for a romantic hairstyle with my hair down. Because I thought that the pressure backward would be less significant than with a voluminous bun and that a simpler structure from the start might hold up better over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But during the fittings, the hairstylist also did a trial hairstyle with a bun. And it was a revelation for me! Surprisingly, I felt my hairstyle was much more secure, and it didn't pull back at all as I had expected!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to check out the video of the two types of hairstyles I tested (French version, the English version is also online on the channel):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
