Hi mates,
After permanently losing my hair to radiation many years ago, I had to use the hair I had left to tie it into a ponytail. But the gray started to come in. Initially it was flattering since I was young and people thought I was doing it intentionally or something, but also adding how nice it looked. But as I got older and more grey I knew I had to do something about continued hair loss. So I got a hair piece that was customed made to cover the bald spot resulting from radiation and dyed the remaining hair to match. Initially it was great. I had it serviced every month for a couple of years until the piece became old. It had been very expensive and I wasn't willing to replace it. But I had to continue to dye my hair to match the piece I had. Then, my remaining hair started to fall out as well! I really feel it was because of the continued dyeing. Then again, I've always had very thin hair which hasn't helped any.
Eventually, I decided that getting a wig was what was best for me. It took some time getting used to, let alone the fact that I felt so self-conscious about it and somewhat uncomfortable. But friends and family members loved it so much, that soon it didn't concern me if they became aware of the fact that it was indeed a wig. Now, I really don't care. In fact, any time I get compliments on my "hair", more times than none, I will say "thank you, it's a wig!" However, it has been a journey, and a long one at that. But ladies, (and/or gents), I have learned to have a ball with all the different wigs I now purchase! I have been a red-head, brunette, even a frenzied black-haired woman! It's been long, it's been short, red, black or brown. But, it's always been ME!!
By the way, I finally found one that everybody loves! So I have bought quite a few of those, since they are relatively cheap. Plus, they're in style!!
Love ya all,
