Ginnie, you are one brave woman and you should be very proud of yourself
That is a horrible condition to live with for so long. It's stupid how much emphasis is put on women's looks - it's like any disability, you become that disability is so many people's eyes and lose your own identity.
I've seen quite a few people with doo-rags, and always thought they looked quite cool and stylish. A friend of mine had cancer a while ago and she wore them whenever she went out as she too hated the bitty hair look.
People with such shallow opinions should be ignored, but I know it's not that easy in reality
My hair still looks ok so I'm very lucky, I just know I've lost a lot of it recently. It's so much thinner that I have to put an extra twist on my hairbands if I tie it back, and on my parting my scalp is much more obvious. White scalp....mmm...
I have my fingers crossed. For you too Ginnie. Thanks for sharing your story, that took a lot of guts
Bram.
