no wig.... I wore a wig for 30 years, and decided 6 years ago to never wear one again, and I love it... the wig was itchy warm and made me feel claustrophobic. I do have a new problem though... my husband didn't care, he wanted me to be me however I felt comfortable, but... I lost my husband, of 36 years,18 months ago in a fatal car accident, and my mother and mother-in-law want me to wear a wig again.... I definitely do not want to, but it hurts that they make these comments. Why are we still labeled and judged... I am fine with alopecia, I am great with no wig, why do I need to wear a wig for the outside world? It is so free and liberating for me to not wear the wig... My response and venting for a bit. Thank you for this site!

I do for a few reasons. I like the option to wear different styles and colors. I don't want to answer a thousand questions about my hair. I'm not ready to show the world my real hair just yet. I always think how brave and strong the women are, who choose to how their bare head!

I wear scarfs because it is more comfortable and affordable than a wig. I would like to just go bald but i find it very scary after almost 8 years wearing them infront of everyone. I had a wig in my teenage years and decided that it was too mich work and that i wanted to put my money on other things.
