    Hi Ann! Welcome. Your hair loss pattern looks alot like mine. I have that huge circular bald spot at the crown and the hair just grows around the edges, but it's very thin. Anyway, I couldn't bring myself to shave my head when I first started wearing a wig. I used a wig liner and wrapped/pinned my hair up before I put the liner on. After several years I got tired of dealing with the hair and liner so I cut my hair really short first, then shaved my head a couple of months later. I find it so much more comfortable with my head shaved - much cooler. Just take your time and do what feels right. Stay strong.

    Have you thought about a vacuum wig??? I have worn one for over 20 years. I can go down a waterslide (KINGS ISLAND), swim, boating. I never worry about it coming off.
    I will be in OHIO next month. Let me know if I can help.
