Lost my hair to an uncommon type of alopecia as a teen. Shaved what’s left since. Now 26. I pull off bald well but now developed a type of eczema that affects the scalp-you know which is bald. This can take months to settle down. So it’s either shaved scalp with fiery red patches OR a wig.

In the interim I began wearing full male wigs and honestly they look amazing, one is about $500 and lasts 6-12 months. I must stress these look very real. I often see people claim ‘all wigs look fake’ but you only notice the bad ones. Decent quality ones are great.

Anyway met many other men and women who all wear them as well through the hair dresser who supplies them and am finding it’s really common even for guys. I’m just curious how women will view it dating. I wouldn’t hide it at all and would share by the 2nd or 3rd date so only a couple weeks into talking to someone. Honestly I view them as no different than makeup or extensions etc.

AGAIN I MUST STRESS I DONT HIDE THE FACT I WEAR THEM. This isn’t some insecurity thing where I’m always freaking out people would find out. I honestly just kind of like having styles beyond just shaved again.

I lost my hair at 19 and shaved my head. Well turns out I have a skin condition that affects the scalp and really messes up the skin there so shaved isn’t going well either. I bought a very quality wig that is indistinguishable from real hair, even to the touch. I must emphasize good wigs you truly can’t tell. I’m very open about it, coworkers and others all know I wear it and I’m not insecure about it. I wear a wig, so what? I like how I look in it, no different that extensions or hair dye or makeup etc. everyone around me is astounded to know it’s fake and very chill about it. Honestly I think just being open about it is what helps, hiding and being way too protective if it gives off the insecure vibe.

anyway what are your thoughts?
