I generally feel lucky at the moment.
I've had alopecia all my life. I've had wigs for about 14 years. Looking back at some shocking styles..
Yes there are days it bugs me having a wig esp when the thing won't sit right, that I get fed up with it. I want to change it. One horrific moment it blew off in a busy city and my boyfriend shouted like it was my fault lol I laugh now as I understand he was just embarrassed as I was :)
I've been experimenting with drawing on eyebrows. I've not been bothered about having no brows. Although I do have bangs in all my wigs to cover them. But I saw a photo of a lady I actually know with a before drawing on and after. It was the first time I realised she didn't actually have any. Made me wonder if I could be that clever. I've never really played with makeup so a bit clueless.
What makes me feel lucky though is how at ease I generally am with it all. How I'd say 99% of each month maybe even each year I don't even remember I have alopecia. I get up throw my wig on as casually as my bra. Get dressed go work go the gym come home take off my wig and most likely my bra and chill...
Only thing with the gym my body temperature notices the wig keeping in the heat... any advice on that if anyone reads this lol enjoy life
