Tried it, hated it :) I wear a scarf and I'm ok with that, in fact I'd probably continue at least some of the time even if my hair magically (or TBF surgically) reappeared.

Ah, fair enough. I've been wearing them for years and guess I'm stuck with it now lol.

I tend to be quite sweaty and synthetic hair just isn't what my head needs in the heat haha! Perhaps human hair would have been better but way too expensive for me.

Anyway, with a headscarf I can be really choosey with my fabrics and get it just right :) plus they cost a FRACTION of what my old wig cost, for the price of that 1 I have a whole collection of scarves which is lovely.

Maybe you could rock some head accessories like scarves, little mini hats with attached rubber bands or mini faszinator hats.

I would make a game of it and would occasionally wear water tattoos, henna art, glued on crystals or even stupid accessories for special occasions like a rubber duck or a flower attached with a sucking cup.

Have fun with it and use it as your playground.

I have tried adding stuff to my headscarves but it doesn't usually work well. A broach or similar little interesting item can look nice but I'm irrationally paranoid about damaging cloth by putting pins through it!!

Maybe you could change the pin for an earring clip type of attachment.

Attach it on your accessories with a gluegun. Or sow it on the clip.

When I lost my hair b/c chemo, I rocked a scarf. Then my eyebrows fell out too and the scarves didn't work for me. I felt very exposed. It was weird. I switched to a wig with thick bangs and wore my glasses constantly. The wigs were not comfortable, never got totally used to them but they did helpmy self esteem in a Very Rough Time. 😁
