Bald Spot and bad bangs

Ashley, on September 28, 2018 at 4:44 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 5
Help! I'm getting married in 4 weeks and i have no idea what to do with my hair.

I was born with a bald spot on my left temple, about the size of a half dollar and roughly 2 to 3 inches above my ear, right on the hair line. I also have bangs, which were cut poorly about 4 months ago and are now just below my eyes. Part of the hair that covered my bald spot was cut as my bangs, so I can't hide it unless it's down. The hairstylist also tapered my bangs all the way down to the hair that goes over my ears, so I can't tuck those away or pin them with the rest of my hair without several bobby pins poking through. Any ideas or suggestions on a nice hair style (or hair product even) that will allow my hair to look even and pretty on the big day?? My hair comes just past my shoulder blades in the back and it's thick but not particularly dense.

(I normally just style my hair down to hide these things, but I wanted to do something pretty for once).

    Hi there. I've heard of hair sprays that help fill in small bald spots, so that might be an option.
    I have alopecia areata in a pattern that starts just about where your spot does, but continues all the way back and all the way down so I only have hair on the crown of my head. I know how frustrating it is when your bangs don't cover the way you'd like them to!!! And I was originally very upset about not being able to have a pretty hairstyle for my wedding. But if nobody with more hair know-how comes along to help you, here's what I'm doing:

    I made my down style be special. I have fairly tight poofy curls naturally, but using a curler and headband helped me enhance what I had to work with and I still feel bridal!

    I also second the spray. Maybe talk with a hairstylist to see if hair can be added into your bangs? And then they can style it into an updo. Wishing you luck. You will be beautiful no matter what!

    Have you looked into small hair extensions for the areas you are self conscious about?

    I agree with AJ - there are numerous products out there to help fill in areas as such.

    Thank you all so much!! I will definitely look into the hair spray concept and extensions. My hair length is hard to style on it's own, so I think extensions are a good solution! I super love the idea of a special down style and head band. More than likely I will incorporate all of these suggestions into my final hairstyle! I greatly appreciate your inputs!
