I never really felt totally comfortable in my wig despite all the reassurances of family and friends. I found some days I felt ok about wearing it and other days I felt more comfortable in my turban hats. I always felt better in the wig around people who did not know me and therefore were not aware that I was wearing a wig! There was a funny story to tell about the day I went out wearing my Ugg boots because I was so distracted fussing with my wig. And still no one seemed to notice! At least they might have been looking at my feet and not my wig.
It is 4 months since my last chemo and I have been going coverless for about a month. My hair is still really short but it is simply too hot to cover up! I figure it wil be another 2 months before it gets to a length that I might actually like. Most of the time I figure people take no notice of what others look like, so I try to just forget about it and get on with things. Still not happy about posing for photos yet! Hope you get used to it and learn to feel more comfortable in it. As you say one step at a time and everything has a way of working out. Take care. Deanne xxx
