Think it would be brill to be happy in a wig and be able to interchange them - my hubby could have a different woman every night!!! LOL!!!
Sadly I hate wearing a wig and at the moment am happy (well apart from the fact that I'd love hair!!!) to be a baldie.
Be bald, bold and beautiful!!

I tried shaving my head completely bald the other week, but the dark areas where the hair still grows are really obvious so I can't get away with it. And believe me I've tried hot towels, 5 blade razors, the works.
 
So looks like I'm stuck to wigs and scarves. I wear a different wig every weekend depending on my mood. Lots of people ask me about my suspicious hair changes and I just reply 'I wear a lot of wigs'. Without going into detailed explanations.
Be brave of heart

I wear a partial system but same thing
the longest mine is off is about an hour every 7-10 days, going without it is not for me.

since losing all my hair to AU I always wear wigs when out of the house i.e., at work.  When out hiking I've developed my own head cover with an old wig that I've cut out and put a scarf/bandana over it. and also when skiing i wear an old wig under a helmet.  At home the first things I do is rip that horrible thing off and enjoy having nothing on my head at all or I wear a buff when it's a bit cool.
