I went out in public in a wig for the first time today. Scary!
I kept asking my poor boyfriend "has it moved?" "Is it still in place?" "Howabout now?" He was very patient with me.
But it went well, and I feel a bit more confident now. Is everyone this nervous the first time out?

My daughter was nervous at first. Now she is totally comfortable with them. I don't know what type of wig you wear but use some double sided tape and it won't move. She likes super tape the best.

Sooz, you always make me smile... d'you think the reason the wig won't come off is cos it's jammed between your head and the floor?? :)
Mhairi: I can't comment on wigs - only wear 'em at fancy dress parties! - but it's a fact that peeps spend ages fussing and worrying over details of their appearance that no-one else even notices.... just plonk it on, get it lined up something like, and get out there and enjoy life! Either people will notice but won't care, or won't notice and STILL won't care. But in the unlikely event someone DOES say something, have a few comebacks ready and waiting. Or get your fella to give 'em a smack :)

I was that nervous, I still would be if it wasnt for my Vaccume fit hair. Here is a link to a post if you would like to read on my blog about how my mother in-law found out I had Alopecia. You will be able to realate towards the end of the post me asking my husband "how about now"? NOW?

Estella - you have to take your life back by force, it is not fair that you've been in your house for over a year. We are still living, yes I know it is hard, but we must overcome Alopecia and not let it overtake us. We can live long successful lives. And, I can sense you want to do it - so let's talk it out - together here on this site we help each other to LIVE.
((((HUGS))))

Maybe there is an advantage having first worn a wig sooooooo long ago. I have actually forgotten! You will get there, too. I was more concerned with new contacts falling out of my eyes back then than I was about the wig, but I do recall spending an hour each morning before high school getting my own forehead hair pulled over the front of the wig JUST SO, to look real and symmetrical!
