Hi there! I love that you put yourself out there each day. Honestly -whatever you decide to do has to feel like it's a decision you're making so YOU are happier - not the "masses" you meet. Your photo shows a striking lady - and as my husband says - "weed out the bad ones early". Then again - if you want a "hairstyle" for certain days - find an inexpensive - realistic looking wig (go to the Marketplace) and see what you like...try it on - if it makes you smile - do it.

You rock!
Rebecca

What's wrong with trying to look good for the men? Don't beat yourself over it, whatever you decide.

Hi! Don't forget that YOU own your Alopecia -- not other people with Alopecia, not your family or friends, not the men around you -- it belongs to YOU. Do what you want and need to do; there is no right or wrong when it comes to wearing wigs! I would strongly disagree that wearing wigs is taking a step backwards in coping with Alopecia. Just as wearing makeup everyday doesn't mean I can't cope with or accept the way my face looks, wearing wigs everyday doesn't mean I can't cope with or accept my hair loss. It just means I like wearing wigs! If you believe you will enjoy wearing wigs, then by all means do it. :-)

I don't think it's a step back ... it is totally your decision. I know what you mean ... I don't go bald but I do wear a scarf and I get tired of being the "woman with the scarf". Sometimes it's nice to just see hair on one's head! So, I wear a wig when the mood (and weather) suits me. Good luck!

Hi I know what you mean I sometimes wear a wig or a scarf out but only a wig now and then cause it's really not that comfy I cheaped out so I would recommend a quality wig and I think you look at it as choices right
Hair
No hair
Scarf
Hat

Makes me feel better knowing I have options! I don't think it's a step back it's just another tool to help deal! Good luck
I wish I could walk around more without a head cover I think you look awesome!
