This morning I went to the hairspecialist, because he had wig I ordered.
Me and my dad got in the car and drove up to Utrecht which is 50 km away from here.
The roads here in this small country are a disaster.. 2 lanes that become 3 lanes and then go back to 2 lanes again 3km further ahead. That causes a lot of accidents and causes a sort of queue on the road..(dont really know the english term, file maybe?) So we drove up there, the one file after the other.
I was pretty excited to get a wig, I really had it with the last bit of my hair.

So when we got there the guy who helped me earlier too got my wig. When I first put it on it looked pretty funny as it wasn't cut in shape. I looked really feminine, hehe.
Then the hairdresser came and cut it the way my real hair was before. After a while she was done and started cutting my own hair a bit too.
Then I put it on again. I suddenly had só much hair! It still is not really the way I want it to be, but that's because it's new and still has to be worn more to let it settle a bit. When that's done it will be the way I want to.

I was at the hairspecialist for an hour or two. When we left there I still had to go to school, I was excited to show my friends my new hair! Even though I had to wear my beanie another couple of days because I wore it all week, and it would be a little strange if people suddenly saw me with a big bush on my head. I was (and still am) so happy !
I do have to get used to it, but that will be allright.

The colour is good, a little lighter than my real hair used to be, but that mostly was because of the gel I wore, that made my hair darker.
If one of you hesitates to get a wig or not, I have advice for you: If you've had it with your bald spots or bald head and don't really care what people think of you, get a wig! It does make you happier and more confident. To me at least.

I'm so happy ;D haha.

Sweet! I'll be following your advice if my patches are ever too much.

I'm amazed that you are willing to share this with your school friends. They too, must be very supportive of you. How awesome!

I'm so glad your first experience with a wig has turned out so well. What sort of wig is it?
