Self conscious about wig
Hi, went to the cancer council wig library 2 days ago with my bestie and my partner. Found a nice wig that I and my 2 support people really liked. Was so excited, so much so that my partner said that...

When l did the Worllds Greatest Shave in 2012, l bought 12 wigs of all different styles & colours. I was so sure l'd hate having a shaved head & woild want to cover it, & l wanted to have different hair every day!
But, when l shaved my head, l got so many compliments on how great l looked & l actually loved it. I hated covering it at all. The wigs never came out of the bags! To me, they looked fake.
Now l'm having chemo & am totally bald, l thought l might wear the wigs. But, l hate covering it up even more! I love my bald head, & look for ways to adorn it ie. head jewellry, henna tattoos, instead of hiding it. I want to make the most of it, instead of pretending its not thhere.
So, like you, l found the wigs fun to try on & play with, but couldn't go through with it in "real life". I'd rather go without anything at all!
