Wear a Wig for the Day

“I had many people tell me that I looked beautiful with a bald head. It was very kind of people to say and I’m sure they meant it. However, I didn’t “feel” beautiful. I felt naked and I felt like someone else. I didn’t feel like me. So when I’m asked how it was to wear a wig, my answer is always the same; it sucked. (Not great for business, I know!) Sometimes it was completely hot, completely itchy and completely annoying as hell. BUT it always felt completely like me. It felt like I could go anywhere and not have people look at me strange or weird. It felt like I still looked like myself and that mattered to me.”

“First time I wore a wig outside my home I was so worried that everyone could tell. I got in my car and drove to a McDonald’s I went to frequently on my way to work and not a single person said anything. Not a single one. I realized at that point I was going to own it. It was my head and if I could choose my clothes I could choose my hair.”
