Who cares what people think. Do what is comfortable for you

I have just a plain black head covering..almost like a touque but made of bamboo and meant for bald heads. And then a scarf that I tie to make me feel like I have hair.
It was devastating to go from 4ft hair to bald. I have a wig but it's just too hot in the summer. During treatments I honestly didn't have the energy to care, but now that my eyebrows and eyelashes are gone too I feel naked. I never go anywhere bald. The head covering helps. Just try and remember, most people are so busy with their own lives and own stressors they don't care. I haven't had a stranger yet give me a weird look or make me feel weird. And everyone who knows me, knows what I'm going through. I'm single and my hair was one of the things I really loved about myself and gave me confidence...but my health is so much more important than looks and what people think of me. Were in a war with our own bodies and there will be casualties.. like our hair, and I feel like that's a small price to pay to kick cancers ass. So I just keep trying to think of those things to get me through it when I'm feeling especially low about it. Or sometimes I hide. But I try not to stay in that space.
I also find if your feeling especially insecure..smile at strangers when out in public, just about all of them smile back, and that makes me feel good. And it's temporary. Eventually your hair will grow back, and I keep looking forward to that. Thinking of how my new hair will grow back, if it will be different or the same. Thicker or curly. Ive never ever had short hair..so now I get to experience that without cutting my hair off to try it..and then regretting it 😄
I hope some of this helps. 🙏 were in this together ❤️

It’s too hot here in Florida to wear a wig. I wear baseball hats and bandanas out so I don’t get a sunburn. In my house from the A/C my head is always cold so I wear a heavier slouchy type hat lol

You might’ve missed my post on this. I never wore my wig. I bought really cute pull on pants with fake bangs attached to the hats with the Velcro strip. Everywhere I went I got compliments and everyone thought they were my real bangs showing iunder my hats.

Yes the ones with hair attached are the easiest. i used a cotton beanie (the softest on my scalp) and attached at the bottom hair extensions. So my scalp wasn’t hot from it and it just looked like I put a beanie over my long hair. Of course it depends on the hair you had (long, short etc). This was my favorite “hat”. No one from my neighbors ever knew what I was going through. This also gave me a sense of control over who knew what. When my hair was about an inch to an inch and a half long, I stopped doing the hat/wig thing. Yes I had some questions about what happened to my beautiful long blond hair. And my answer was: “change of personality “, “was tired of long hair and the maintenance of it,” and “wanted to try another style.” That’s it. No long explanations. And at the end of the day, they can think whatever they want. What I went through is none of their business. And my close friends who know, know. And that’s great the way it is.
