What if people ask?

When you are 18, supposed to be an exciting and fun time in my life, but 24/7 deal with AA!!!!  Been on this roller coaster for 2 + years.....

Then,how do you answer when someone questions whether you are wearing a wig?  Of course, it is no one's business, but people are cruel and don't care, as we all know.

It has happened a few times, and I don't know how to answer that such personal question.  No one knows, except my family and I want it to stay that way.  Anyone have any ideas please?

Hello.

I think... what do you feel when is asked? You can response simply what you feel to response.

You can also not response...

Hi Sam.     It is tempting to buy a wig online price wise.  I found that it’s best to go to a wig shop and ask an experienced owner “what wig would you suggest?”.  The one I currently wear is a synthetic, rooted color.  I thought people would know but recently told another woman and she was shocked.  I paid $185 and will buy a new one every year or two.  I do recommend wearing a wig cap under it which I didn't do in the beginning.  When people compliment me on my hair, I tell them it’s a wig.  Although I’ve had alopecia since college, the AU threw me for a loop.  However, I’m also a 5 year cancer survivor so I’m thankful for each day.  Buy some cute “headcovers” to wear when you don’t want to wear the wig.
