I was going to post this on the discussion board, but decided to post here instead. I've decided to try a headband-style wig as an alternative to a hat.

I have a scar on my forehead about 2/3" in length. I got it when I was four years old, from jumping on my grandmother's sofa and falling headfirst onto her ancient radiator.
