Have we not accepted our hair loss because we wear hair?

Do you feel that you need to accept this whole hair loss issue? I don't. I will never accept it. If acceptance is defined by wanting to go out without my hair - then I definitely know I will never…Continue

I'm so glad i'm not alone, but if i moved abroad I think I would take a chance and show the true me!

I wear wigs in public and hats/scarves around the house. The only time I am ever bald in public is when I'm driving to Atlanta, and it is HOT! I'm trying to get my nerve up to post a bald picture of myself on Facebook :)

I think I would feel comfortable doing a "Bald Girls Do Lunch" type of thing, where I'm not the only bald person, but I certainly wouldn't want to be the only bald person in a room!

Human hair wigs are a lot of expense and work. About 10 years ago I shaved the hair I had left and decided to just go around bald. It didn't last long. Some of the worst memories I had were going out with my cousins and friends bald. They had no problem attracting men but the men that approached me were not what I had in mind and guys like this would never have approached me with hair. I get it, what is inside counts but how much settling is involved?

I feeli like that I lost my hair and something I loved to do which was fixing and curling my hair. I don't know if I can ever accept this. I still cry everyday over my hair loss..

I think that women who sport the bald look either look really good in it, or they can't pull wigs off. It needs quite some guts to wear hair that's not your own and own it anyway. Many who sport the bald look say they can't handle the "coming out" issue in relationships. Wigs can bring you in awkward and embarrassing situations in general. I don't think bald women are more courageous than those who wear hair. We all just choose what suits us best.

I posted once before.....
I've always looked better with longer hair, at least shoulder length. It fits my face and personality....the bald look just doesn't work for me...I applaud all those with the 'everything' it takes to wear it, but as long as there is some other form of hair I can sport I most definitely will!

Hi Leslie - I have two human hair wigs made for me by a wig maker in the DC area. I got to see them actually make wigs! I was very lucky to find her - especially since she is within a few hours drive for me.

LilyBell - i got so tickled about your comment that if you had to call 911 and crawl to your wig and plop it on your head just cracked me up. I feel the same way. and i am still embarrassed to let my derm see my bald head even though he's use to it and doesn't care.
i will never accept my hair loss or go in public without a hairpiece.
i'm curious, do you have a Freedom Wig human hair piece?

I don't like to go out in public without something on my head and makeup on my face. I don't always have to have my wig on, I'll wear a scarf but fully bald. Forget about it! I purchase most of my wigs online but if I am with another baldie my confindence is a little more boosted and I have no problem trying on wigs in public. But makeup...... if I have none on I look like I am literally dying. I have gone out without makeup but I am not myself. I just want to hide in the shadows.... but draw some eyebrows and darken my eyes with liner and watch out!

I look better with hair. Period. Some look good sporting the bald look - although I tend to think those women would look gorgeous no matter what - I am not one of them. I need my hair. It flatters my facial features. I don't accept my hair loss and never will - but I cope the best I can and for me that is wearing hair. I will never be among the bald and happy group - that is just me.
