Nervous, excited, scared, need a drink maybe?

So next weekend I have my consultation with the hair salon regarding options for a wig for me. It has been a long 15 years with dealing with my androgenic alopecia and I am finally taking back control, but now I am a little scared. I have my mother and my aunt(she has a hair system on due to thyroid issues causing her to lose alot of her hair) going with me. I am going to the same salon as my aunt goes to.
I am excited to move on with my life and go into this next stage or adventure if you wanna call it that.
I am just nervous that I am going to have regrets or that I am going to look stupid or that it is not going to help me feel better about myself. I am hoping that it helps me out immensely but then there is the fear setting in too,
Anyone have any advice or tips for me for next weekend?
Thank you all again for all of your support! I wouldn't be taking this step without the support of AW!

Try on a lot, take a chance with different styles and colors than your natural one (fit your personality), even if you have to choose from color swatches, go two-tone, or have bangs trimmed to hide the hairline. See how it looks in a 3-way mirror, in sunlight vs florescent light, with glasses, in certain outfits or necklines. Have fun with it! Go in full make-up from a department store make-over, and if you buy right then, go out to a nice celebratory dinner afterward!

Everything that Tallgirl said! Go with an open mind. This is your perfect opportunity to try a new style, color, mood...personality, even! My feeling is, if I am destined to wear wigs (and no, I will never go out without one), I may as well have some fun doing it! Red, blond, long, short, straight, wavy....

Don't be nervous! The first step is a doozy, but it's all down hill from there! Good luck!

Get the drink after you so you are making a sober choice at the salon!

Yes, get the drink AFTER the salon. You're going to find something beautiful!
