Hi Sun Wilder, I do wish I were able to agree " its just hair" I'm not there yet. Its so difficult to look in mirror and not recognize myself. Its also hard with glasses. Thanks for the wig purchasing tips. I'm totally mortified at coping with this. I find I shower less, socialize less. What's left of my hair is still coming out. I'm about to shave it. Admitting complete defeat. I cannot fathom wearing wigs rest of my life. How do I enjoy outdoor activities with a wig? Ugh, the thought. I wonder how long it takes to accept? I know we are all different.I do not know what triggered the rapid drastic hair loss. I truly miss my beautiful silky blonde hair. It never looked so good as it did 6 months to a year prior to it falling out.I find it devastating. That's just me. If wig wearing were more natural looking and comfortable that would be great.

One more thing, becareful who you order wigs from I got ripped off from this company called upscale lace wigs. She took my money, never sent my order and now won't return any calls or emails.

I'm sorry you're going through this struggle, I know how hard it is. I had to shave what was left of my hair back in 2007 and have been a day time wig wearer since. I currently wear custom wigs from a company called hair direct. This works for me because they look more nature are fairly comfortable. I strongly recommend these hair pieces. They are expensive at about 900 each but worth it. You can choose color, texture, length, hair type ect. They offer to cut the hair for you but I always get it uncut and go to a saloon. I did a lot of research about wig making before ordering and that really helped me to make the right decisions. Another thing, I make a mold on my head with saran wrap and tape. You can youtube how to do this. This provides a true custom fit! If you make it super tight you can wear it pretty securely without tape or adhesive.

Now for the hard part, you have to learn to love yourself again and realize this is not your fault. For me, it took some time and I hung on to denial when things were really tough. Surround yourself with people you love, do positive things for yourself and know that this challenge will actually make you a better person! Hang in there, you're doing awesome and it WILL get better! I promise! It's really only just hair :)

Hi.I have a " hat with hair' it looks awful.I need to cover awful facelift scars as well ..this is causing extra stress. However I look awful in short wigs. The pixie type..I really just want to die over this. Will I adapt?

would u be willing to start out with the baseball caps with a ponytail or a turban with bangs. I felt the same way when I lost my hair in 1985 but I was able to start right away with wigs because my job require that plus I had two small children who were scared by mom's bald scalp.

Thank you Aimee.. This is a costly condition for sure. May I ask? Have you been able to accept this? I am scared as its so new. I worry about summer. The beach, will I be able to swim in ocean? Those kind of things. I feel most wigs well look like a wig. Even looking at pictures on line. Oh well I Dont hide the fact I am wearing a wig.I did see hats with hair site. Boy nothing is inexpensive!!!.

Do you wear lace front? I Dont feel they are discreet at all. I can see what looks like a screen to me.

Oh the brand is Nortico (so) and human hair is Jon Renau.I haven't washed yet. Sure needs it! Worried about the outcome of that for sure. I definitely need more. I do not have 2 of a wig. I'm concerned about the beach, swimming etc. Ugh this isn't something any of us need. Its made me suicidal.I need to reach acceptance. I just feel so unattractive. I was very pretty. Now I Dont even do much make- up as I have to wash it off and my hair gets all wet!! The strings that is. I'm truly mourning the loss of my hair.
