I have had alopecia areata since I was 8, and I have 2 bald spots around the crown of my head that I have to either hide by tying my hair up or clipping extensions. But with regular extensions I still have to pull my bangs back and clip them to cover the track, since it has to be placed so high on my head to cover the spots. This hair patch is *perfect* for this problem! My natural hair is the same color as the patch. But it's currently too short to tie up because I had chopped it all off a few months ago, and it's pin straight, so I had to cut the hair patch and straighten it to blend with my natural hair. But it is so amazing, I've never been able to wear my hair as if it is *completely* down before! I will 100% keep purchasing from this brand, I will probably need another one in the future once my hair outgrows this one I've cut.
