I forgot to add on my photos that I am wearing a wig. I was completely against the idea of a wig because most look so fake. I really loved this one. I purchased another that I did not wear. Also, I wore a lot of turbans and scarves. I loved the turbans and plan to wear them again in the fall. They will definitely look better with some hair showing. Princess Caroline of Monaco has been sporting turbans and made them very chic! Many wig shops carry a great selection of turbans. I preferred the turban to a scarf because it stayed in place. Do not think that only old ladies wear turbans.

Thanks for your support -
I think it looks great… You can’t even tell.
I know I were mine as long as I could. I was sitting at my son’s basketball game this past Jan. I ended up with such a headache.. My hair was coming in and the wig just wasn’t going to fit any more. I have had long hair since I can remember so I couldn’t stand the fact my ears were showing.. I got a black wool band that covers you ears in the winter.. That let my hair breath but covered my ears but had a little style to it.. I put hair gel in my hair and spiked it up on top.. I was so glad to find something I was comfortable with… Turbans didn’t work for me. But I think you would look great…. I don’t have the face for a turban…..
I think the wig looks very good on you. I’m with you on turbans. I chose not to wear a wig when I was going through hard chemo. I opted for turbans instead. They’re very chic. lol
well i also think you are beautiful and if you didn’t tell me i wouldn’t know it was a wig…
Hi Melissa,
Thanks for posting on my blog. I was wondering… have you had any issues with your reconstruction? I am confused. My plastic surgeon promises me there will be no pain during the process, but then I’ve heard from a friend who says it is extremely painful and she’s had to stop the process at about an “A” cup. I guess I’ll find out soon enough, but just wondered if you’ve had any issues yourself. Thanks!
