Wig wearers! When did you start going without?
Hi Ladies,
I'm 2 and a half months out of chemo and have quite a dark covering of hair on my head now.

It's so hot up here at the moment and I'm looking forward to the day I can give away my wigs!
But I'm just not sure when I'll feel right, I tried Saturday night infront of close freinds but after an hour I put the dreaded wig back on :(
Just wondering how much hair you all had when you decided to "brave it"?
Cheers
Sam

Hi Sam,
I think you look gorgeous and if you are confident enough go wig free now. I hated my wig and rarely wore it, I mostly wore scarves but anything is hot on your head. As soon as I had minimal coverage I went without.
Cheers

- mum2jjMemberThat's what I loved about being bald and having really short hair. The great earrings I got to wear. I had forgotten that. Not nearly as much fun now I have my bob back. Happy earring hunting. Paula :)

Yes it does feel fluffy and my two kids love running their fingers through it ALL THE TIME. It's not as if they are little, they're 25 and 23!. It tickles their fancy and they call me cute. I feel like the family pet.
I just want the fringe to grow and I think I'll be happier.

- Sam1982MemberThank you all ladies, It's funny, when I was bald I thought that as soon as I had a teeny bit of hair I'd ditch the wigs, but even with the amount I have now I still feel so "exposed" and unready, strange hey? I think I'll stick with the wigs until my tie at the back headbands arrive in the mail, (great idea, thanks TonyaM) Gives me another great reason to buy some long dangly earrings to jazz up my oh so visible neck hahaha. Thanks girls, I just love having people who finally understand me Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Sam1982MemberHey Sam, OMG U totally rock the short hair!!! I sometimes wish I'd never went with wigs, I started something that I feel I should see out to the end lol. Yes, I think I'm going to have to start embracing the "new look me" sooner rather than later :) Surgery is coming up hey? X
