• Wig Tips! - Most people don't choose to write a blog and share all of their business after a cancer diagnosis. Those same people might also prefer that the general public not be aware they are wearing a wig. Clearly, I'm not one of those people. This post is for everyone but will be of particular interest to anyone trying to keep their cranial prosthetic on the DL. Wigs are lovely things. Yes, they can be hot and (during hair loss) REALLY uncomfortable. Once the worst it over they aren't that bad. Anyway, if you find yourself in need of a wig, remember this. There's a lot going on under that weave. You need to pay close attention because there are a few things that can give away your secret.  For instance, note that your wig will probably have a tag in the back. Yes, just like your clothes. On some wigs, you might also find thin straps inside the cap to help adjust the fit. Don't do what I did - don't leave the house with the tag sticking out of the back of your wig. This might be something that could give it away. That, or having one of straps hanging out the back. Yes, I have done both. Sad, right? Of course, I'd tell any stranger on the street I was wearing a wig because I'm a dork like that. Regardless, it's kind of hard to maintain your "I've got my self together" vibe with a big ol' tag sticking' out of the bottom of your hairline.

We have reached the end of our broadcast day. Our writer is signing off to get a few hours sleep. Join us tomorrow!

(For all of you young folk, that's supposed to be funny...back in my youth, TV stations actually signed off...nevermind. I feel old just having to explain it...)

I'll be back tomorrow to complete this post...if, at that time, I can even recall was I was planning on writing...

Love to all

Andee
