? for Padacheek & others with mask related hair loss...

Post by Tash » Wed Oct 04, 2006 12:40 pm

Hi all. I know there have been several posts in the past about hair loss related to the Aura headgear, but has anyone experienced hair loss from the straps on the Activa?

Padacheek, do you have something already created for this? I know you have been generously responsive to posters specific issues with mask/gear, and was curious if you already have something made for the Activa straps...

I love my Activa, but my hair is breaking at the back/top/crown of my head. My best educated guess is it is caused by the straps (which I wear loose for good seal of mask) grabbing my hair when I roll over, etc... I have a little section on the back right top of my head where I have like a clump of 1" long hair sticking up, from where the rest of it broke off.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks and sleep well
