THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE & SUPPORT!
Other wig wearers PLEASE POST YOUR PICS ON THIS THREAD TOO
in support of the other thin haired ladies out there that are feeling depressed about their hair loss!  You're not alone!

My pre-op hair was see-thru thin to start with out with and now 4 months post-op its been getting even worse much to my dismay.
Wearing a wig was the last thing this active, outdoorsy gal wanted to do but I took the plunge today and bought a wig
from a local wig shop and have another one (shorter & blond)on layaway.  
I was all set to buy human hair, lace front etc. etc. but I tried on this synthetic with a hand tied top (so you can part it) and it really looked nice much to my surprise! Stopped by my BFF on the way home and she loved it and hubby did too (a lot!)
so its going to work! Yeah! So maybe wigs aren't so bad afterall.  Might be a fun way to change your look from time to time and I think I'm going to get real use to not having to fuss with tons of product and the curling iron only to have it all fall down one hour later. You can see my pre-op sprouts on my profile page.

I'll probably end up getting one too.  My hair never really regrew thick after my 1st surgery and I'm sure I'll lose more after tomorrows revision.  My mom wears wigs due to hair loss after cancer treatment.  I remember going with her to pick one out.  The merchant actually trimmed it for her exactly the way she wanted and fixed it so that it fit her head perfectly.  I've always wanted thick beautiful hair.  Won't it be funny when I go back to work thinner and with a whole new head of hair! :0)

 Wow!! That is very natural-looking...if you didn't mention it was a wig, I wouldn't have been the wiser. Very beautiful - and congrats on being over halfway to your goal!
