Wigs can be a scary thought for many new and experienced alopecians alike.  They can represent a surrendering of all hope that your hair is going to grow back.  And there is also the fear of looking strange and, for lack of a better word, 'wiggy'.  We imagine that people will certainly 'know'. 

But that doesn't have to be the case.  Falls (sometime called wiglets) are so hugely popular that you can find them in most malls and in lots of fashion boutiques.  And you may like how they look so much that you continue to use them if and when your hair grows back.  And full wigs are making fashion inroads with the glitterati and thus becoming more and more affordable, natural, cute, and comfortable.  Fear not!

I just want to say that I put off getting a wig (or my 'hair thingie' as I fondly think if it) for so long. I don't have AT or AU, just a pretty aggressive AA. And I really put myself through the ringer with all kinds of ways to hide my spots. And when they could be hidden pretty nicely with sprays or scarves, that was just fine. But after awhile, as my AA got worse, I was going to these superhuman lengths to hide it. I thought wigs were too expensive and too fake looking. But I finally broke down and bought one, and I love it. My life is so much simpler! It wasn't so expensive and now I can't wait to get another. My best advice to anyone who's morning "hair routine" is getting more and more complicated, is to get yourself a wig! Really, no one will know if you don't want them to. And there are some really cute ones out there. I bought my first one at a salon, where I could try a bunch on, but now I just order replacements online for even less than I originally paid.
