Re: Questions about the dreaded hair loss??

I don't think it's vain. I thnk we want to hold on to whatever feminity that we can.
I would worry about an infection so I went with eyeliner and got pretty good with it. I found if I use the gel with a brush (loreal) it is gentler and smudge it with a powder liner (sonia kachuk, target) it looks pretty good. I started having fun with it too. I don't know if people were being kind but I had a number of compliments on my pretty eyes.
