Is hair defining you?

Living with AU for years just wondered if the hairless state defines others.

I am a grandparent my eldest grandchild visits and sees me without hairpiece . I am not in his view any different.

However my best friends have no idea how little hair I have. Does it matter?

I think you should do what feels right for you. If you want it to remain private or not

Hi Skit, yes I feel defined by my hairless state. When I first started wearing a wig I couldn't bear to be seen by anyone, (who'd seen me in the wig) )without it, that is wearing a buff or whatever. And of course vice versa. Some seven years on I don't care quite so much, but do feel more like my old self when I've got my hair on. Wearing it in the summer heat is impossible, so hot and uncomfortable.

I really admire these young women who go commando, they look so lovely.
