Hi Linda:

I admire your courage. I too finally received my wig and have been wearing it to work and out for special occasion. Any other time I just wear a hat or scarf because I still have some hair around the edges and back of my head. I would like your advice. I have been debating on shaving or cutting the rest of the long hairs so that they are closer to the length of the hairs growing back (it always grows back but keeps falling out elsewhere) but just not sure if I will regret loosing that illusion of having a full hed of hair when I wear a hat. But right now it looks nasty - I call it my accidental mullet :)

I had the same thoughts but mine was so thin and several different colors and I didn't even want to go in the kitchen I keep finding hair everywhere. I just said the heck with it. It does feel different and still wierd when I look in the mirror but when I got up this morinng I couldn't believe how good I felt. I feel like I have a fresh start we'll see what happens Linda

I love on Merritt Island FL, I lost all my hair 5 yrs ago due to cancer and my chemo treatments but I always had very thin hair. It did grow back thicker at first but now is thinnner than ever! I wear my scarves that snap and my old wigs when I feel like looking younger. Check out the MARKETPLACE tab on this website and you can see business owners providing goods to those with hair loss that have been through hair loss themself. I am one of them! I would like to donate one of my ABONITASCARF's for a drawing if there ever is a bald girls do lunch in the Orlando area, I live only 45 minutes from Orlando. Pleae let me know if it is going to happen!
