Re: Re: Hairloss issues - long

[Guest guest]

Thanks Fiona,

This is a whole new perspective . . . Come to think of

it, I do know several women who've worn wigs for

years. I've never given it a second thought. . . They

always look nice. I guess I just assumed they wanted

to look nice without all the fuss!

They didn't appear to mind . . . certainly didn't seem

selfconscious! And they do have alot of options!

Thanks for the thought!

Hugs,

Rogene
