I gradually lost my hair over many years.
This loss accelerated during breast cancer treatment a few years ago. I found it distressing to lose my thick curly hair.
I was, however, in denial as I didn’t have the confidence to face the world, and more importantly my friends and family, in a wig permanently.
I wouldn’t use video calling and avoided social situations.
I bought a couple of wigs but just didn’t have the confidence to wear them even though I knew one of them particularly suited me.
So I had made the first step – making a purchase.
And then something happened. Lockdown! Suddenly everyone had a hair problem! My wispy bits of hair really looked awful and I knew it.
In May I took the enormous step (in my mind) of wearing a wig permanently.
I haven’t been seen by anyone without one since! On from morning to night, even in the searing heatwave.
It’s just like having a full head of hair again but better with so many advantages.
Light, doesn’t frizz and a few raindrops don’t hurt. And I know it looks good day after day. So many compliments.
I cannot overstate the difference to my confidence and my life
I do urge anyone needing the confidence to start wearing a wig to take the plunge. You really won’t have any regrets. Quite the opposite.

Well done Betty! You look terrific, very natural. I know the feeling you describe very well. I love my wigs so much I would never wish my own hair back.
