You’ve written that your hair was “extremely valuable” to you, and that you spent more than three years after your diagnosis wishing and willing it to grow back. What finally helped you stop waiting and start looking for a way to feel like yourself again?
I honestly think it just took time. I had gotten to a point where I had gone through two years of experiencing holidays and vacations with this lingering sense of dread about what I would do with my hair for those events.
Finally, on the third year of it, I started experimenting with toppers because I realized I needed to get out of that rut, and I had seen so many women online find such freedom in wearing hair.
At first I would cover the front with a wide headband because I was paranoid about people noticing the blend in the front. (Baby steps!) But even that helped me to practice and gain confidence.
