I've talked about how wonderful it was to get my wig, to begin to feel closer to my old self. Your self esteem takes a little hit when you see the horror in your grandchildren's eyes the first time they see you without hair, or perhaps it's when the older ones can't stop laughing, admittedly it is quite humorous, and I did prefer that reaction! I loved seeing the new me, although not quite as much as I enjoyed seeing the new Robert!
My wig is really pretty comfortable, but when it comes down to it, I love the soft little pretty hats that I have been given. There are ones made of cotton and there are some made of bamboo, I think they are made of a little bit of heaven! They soothe the weary head that still is sporting a few "sprickles" (what I call the few little shaved hairs still hanging on for dear life) They are so wonderful to maintain warmth or coolness and so easy to slip on fast. So..... Yes, I am so thankful they have a way to help us baldies, feel and look a little closer to our former selves but, don't be surprised to see me wearing my good old comfy hats around town! Also a few other tricks for comfort that have helped the sprickle situation, I just use conditioner on my head at night, followed by coconut oil, really softens a prickly situation!
I hope you know we have no fear of your new do. In fact, it's the thing I worry others you the most! I know it isn't easy and I hope you can begin to feel more and more confident with it!
