I had a lot of trouble feeling comfortable in my wigs. After a while I simply wore baseball caps from Lands' End. No one seemed to care, my girls thought we received a little extra attention when I was bald--discounts, moving ahead in line, warm smiles, etc. Do I sound shallow?? There were a few times I felt very aware I was a bald woman at a dressy function but mostly I was pretty comfortable with the ball caps.
