First of all I am a black woman, which makes wig buying a little less uncomfortable than my sisters of other descent, and I found a really cool wig that can be curled and comes pre bumped. I got a short length because my sister suggested it but decided to order a longer length because that is what I am more comfortable with. It is the Sensationnel Bump Human hair wig. My hair (or lack of it LOL) does bother me sometimes and I really hate wearing a wig but at least with a wig I can style I feel like it is more of my own. I am 38 now and I even considered wearing bandanas and hats but I don't know if I would be comfortable with that. I realize that most of my co workers assume I wear a wig and I will confess that I do if asked. I hate when I talk to someone and I can tell that they are staring at my head trying to determine whether or not I am wearing a wig - this is the thing that makes me want to be like "FORGET YOU" and just wear bandanas. As a female suffering "male pattern baldness" I feel so weird. If I had cancer or total alopecia I think people would be more accepting and would understand. It is difficult for people to understand my problem when I have extremely thick eyebrows (and I even unfortunately have to occasionally wax my upper lip). I take this issue I have and try to put it in perspective though...I am blessed with the ability to walk, talk, see, hear, and otherwise fairly healthy and I have had a beautiful little girl who is the light of my life. If my main cross to bear is that I am pretty much bald on top I should take it in stride. Now if I could just find the perfect man in my life who accepts me as I am, life would be darn good LOL.

I just did my own lil research on lace front wigs and I think I should give it a try...they look very realistic!

Hello! Thank you for your comments. I just joined yesterday and am truly thankful for your honesty and openness. My hair loss much resembles yours. I wear lace front wigs that I bond with a wonderful adhesive. Still adjusting to this big change in life...but it's really okay in the grand scheme of things that truly matter. Rose Marie's comment to you was lovely. Those with a sincere heart of love and respect for who you really are, will care not that you wear a wig. Wear it with pride! Have fun and try to focus more on those attributes that are your strengths and make you uniquely you...and worth knowing!

Vickie!
