Guest guest Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I decided to start wearing a wig. It didn't happen over night. First I went with very short haircut, that lasted a while but my scalp got more and more noticeable. So I buzzed it and went with caps, hats, scarves or just the buzz look, some people look brave like that, I just looked like a sick person who lost there hair. Then I went to a really good hair replacement center, I looked on line but wasn't comfortable buying one like that. I told the owner I had a 100 budget, this place was pretty high end but he worked with me. I also brought in a prescription and didn't have to pay tax. I am on medicaid and am not sure if it will be reimbursed but everything helps. So we tried on many wigs and found one that really fit my big head. Then he cut it to my face and told me if I want to trim it any more he would do it for free and to come back any time. Definately a challenge to get used to, but I wear it a lot, that is the only way to get used to it. I also find wig tape is essential for me, I feel like I can move and wear it and it doesn't slip and slide. Without the tape I felt stiff. Anyways it is actually nicer than my real hair was. Well just wanted to share one more experience in surviving this difficult treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
