Hair envy? Anyone else experience this?

I suffer from hair envy! Every time I see someone with really nice hair I feel a bit of jealousy. I am even envious of those that wear their hair in a pony tail. Likely they feel they are having a bad hair day and put it in pony tail! How I miss being able to do that..

I also feel like a total fraud when I get complimented on my "hair" by people I don't know very well. (Those closest to me know I wear wigs)...I get so many compliments on my human hair wig and I feel like a total fraud accepting them!

I thought I'd post some random thoughts on living with AA....
Anyone else have hair envy???
LOL

I totally get hair envy. i get compliments on my wigs. I just think - well, i did pay for it, so it is my hair. I'm so past the point of giving a shit about who knows i wear a wig. It's taken 5 yrs to get there. Go at Ur own pace... Just don't be embarrassed or ashamed. U did nothing wrong. Accept the compliments w a smile and a laugh on the inside. What people don't know won't kill them... Just think, they may walk away w hair envy of their own...

Personally my hair is from Slovakia. I like to say that I bring around my friend with me all the time. I honestly always make jokes about my hair a s I feel like it makes everything better. And for people who don't know when they compliment me I just say that my Slovakian friend did it.... Half true

Absolutely! Lately it seems like all these people with beautiful hair are jumping out at me. I notice how thick their hair looks... How pretty it is. Glad I'm not the only one.

Yes I to get hair envy. My niece has beautiful thick long hair that grows so quickly. I keep telling her I am going to cut all her hair off and make it into a wig

Mine is not really envy, but I am absolutely fixated by other people's hair..how it grows, the styles they wear, how it smells etc...so silly!

I totally get the fraud thing too. I also get compliments on my hair and feel like I am being dishonest not telling its a wig. I dream one day I'll have the strength to say " Thanks! , Want to try it on?" Can you just imagine the reaction!!

What a crazy journey, huh?
