Should I tell my friends that I wear a wig?

20 years dealing with hair loss, 7 years wearing wigs... Deciding whether or not to tell friends about your desire to wear wigs can be a hard mountain to climb. Personally, I love wearing wigs and having such an easy way to add some diversity to my look, while for a friend of mine with alopecia, wearing a wig is the only way you can get her out of the house. But should we tell people around that we wear wigs?
 
I feel that you should do what you feel comfortable doing. We don't necessarily tell people Everytime we put on different clothes or use new makeup or anything else we may use to help us feel better about ourselves. If someone asks because they are needing advice, then yes, I would tell a friend now and have told many others for that reason. I've come to realize that I should not feel ashamed of something that is out of my control. However, if you aren't comfortable with doing that it is fine too.You shouldn't have to tell anyone.
 
I think YES. Why not? It's an accessory like lip gloss (well, not exactly). A movement to take the stigma out of wearing wigs should begin with each of us.

You are right dear, for me, there is no necessary to tell people around about the wigs if they don't ask for, thanks for your advice:)

I guess you must be a brave girl, you are right, wearing wigs should not be a shame, hope more and more people will know this(y)
 
What about in a new dating situation? When is the right time? Any opinions?

And look at me, hoping that actually having hair will finally get me a date! lol And if it does, then what does that say about the guy? Only interested if I have hair? Kinda like winning the lottery - you will always wonder if they are with you simply because of your money and wouldn't be there otherwise! lol

And yes, having no hair definitely affects your self-esteem...

Yes dear, having no hair definitely affects your self-esteem but you are not alone, we should not let it effect us a lot.
