Why did you decide to go without a wig?
I myself could not fathom wanting to ever be without my hair, but that is just me. I really am genuinely interested in why those of you that do not choose to wear hair came to that decision. Comfort? Like the look better? Wigs are just too difficult to deal with?

He handled that very well. Mature enough to understand your current limitations and still offer solutions. Sometimes when we are "in" a situation we only think we have 1 choice. He obvious had another ;)

I decided to go wigless because I needed to come to terms with it and I was living down in Mexico. I have grown to love the option of wearing one... It's all about how I want to feel....soemtimes true, different and sexy and other times i just want to blend in and not attract any attention.. I have always worn synthetic wigs and I sew a piEce of nylon pantyhose in it so that it is very smooth on my scalp. One thing i wish is that the AW as an organization would lobby the wig makers to make wigs for bald women. Even if I order a petite wig more often than none there is always too much room on the wIg to allow for real hair to be tucked in.....does anyone know how to make that a priority /cause for masses of AW, CANNAF ECT ???

I have had AU for over 20 years and have worn a wig always but now that I am getting older I don't mind so much going with out it. I would have it on just hanging at home but now I only wear it when I go out. I think next summer I will start going without it even more outside the home. I wear it outside the house just to be more comfortable and so I don't get the sympathy that only a cancer patient should get especially when out with my very young daughter. I do have to say I have a nicely round shaped head that even people with hair would be jealous of...lol. To be honest I am new to AW but after everything I read today I think I am going for my morning run without my wig tomorrow. But you should only do what you are comfortable with. It took me 20 years to be comfortable without it on, but I will always have a wig on deck just because it does Make me feel more girly when I do my hair.

I remember standing in the bathroom looking at my wig 3 1/2 years ago and saying outloud "I really hate wearing you...I'm not going to wear you today".....I just couldn't take being uncomfortable any longer..hot and itchy were no longer on the menu. I will say that I have gained more confidence since not wearing the wig. I think I have grown more as a person.

That was the way I felt, and it's been over 3 years since I last wore a wig. I have one left, buried somewhere in my closet. I gave the rest away. I think if I put it on now, I'd just get depressed to see myself with hair again. Maybe someday I'll be ready to try it again on a really COLD day.

Yup. Since writing that in December I'm even more sure I'll never have hair on my head again - unless it grows there!
