I don't like to look at myself so I wear a wig when out in the public and a scarf other times. I keep hoping some day that a miracle will happen and I will have hair again.
Hi - I wear a wig all the time in public, a cashmere stocking style hat when home and to bed. My hubby is fine with my hair loss, though I think would be embarrassed as much as I would be to try to go public without a wig. While riding in the car on a trip over the weekend, I forgot my stocking hat and had to take off my wig for a little airing and felt very uncomfortable when we passed another car. Isn't that silly? Wow, my vanity can really take over sometimes.
My hair loss was so quick but my wig is wonderful. I hate more the eyebrows getting bald spots and thinning of my lashes... this part will be very hard for me.
Hey Monica, Welcome to the Network. I don't have Alopecia Areata, but there are many members here who do. If you haven't already checked them out, I recommend getting to know kathyloulu, cate, and Jeanen for support and emotional uplifting. They are truly amazing and strong women! Their stories and attitudes always inspire me. Blessings, Dottie
