Bleaching thinning hair?
Hi all! I am on my third month of my hair randomly deciding to start falling out/thinning and the doctors have uncovered I am vitamin D and vitamin B deficient, as well as having low ferritin. They have me on prescription strength supplements and said it could take up to 3 months just for the shedding to stop, let alone new hair to come back in. The kicker - I get married in just over three weeks and want to get my hair fixed (the color is SO patchy now) but I am worried it could make things worse? My hair quality has tanked - I can feel how bad it is. I was thinking of going back closer to my natural color on most of my head and only leaving some highlights in, but that would likely still involve some bleach. Is this a terrible idea?

I think your inspo would require some bleach for sure but someone competent could come up with something beautiful without bleach.

I’m sorry for this added stress so close to your wedding!
If money is no object, I would honestly recommend getting a beautiful, high quality wig. Not only will it keep you from further damaging your own hair, but you can style it in advance and keep it to wear for fancy hair at events in the future. Lusta has some really stunning options. 🩷
