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

- Love your new profile pic Magicma :) What a darling little bundle. Looks like he's enjoying a cuddle from Ma. Janey xxx
The girls in my chemo unit persuaded me to lose the covers when mine was about that length. It was VERY grey/white but they said it looked funky and I should slick it up and be proud. So I did. Not sorry at all. (I did end up dying back to a colour as the growing grey made me feel really old !) In hot weather it was lovely to feel the breeze on my head.
Go for it, you look fantastic.

I use way to much shampoo and conditioner I had long hair and I am still getting used to this new look. I am using Argon Oil to hydrate my hair, I do not want to loose it now that its back.
Mine came back a real silver grey and curly. I am rocking the curls I hope they stay. I had forgotten the earings I changed to danglies whilst I wore my scarves as you could actually see them.

Hi Jackie,
It came back very grey & straight & it felt like kittens fur! I bleached it a couple of weeks ago. I didn't might the grey, the girl at the salon said she has young girls paying for the colour I was. It's growing fast now....maybe it's the steroids!
love your hair Sam, really suits you. Was it dark and came back grey or very pale? MIne was very dark and came back steel grey. Good luck for your hysterectomy, I hope you recover quickley. It is the day after my lat dorsi. Jackie xxx
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.
