At the gym I am cool because I tuck all my hair in a baseball hat. but it on days like this when it is 100 degrees that I just go crazy. The top front is my thinnest and of course that gets sweaty first. If I wear a bandanna then eventually that gets soaked too. My next step is to get a big head scarf that I can wrap multiple times.... The sweat issue is one that I always constantly battle.

Thank goodness for supportive husbands, it's important to maintain some sort of sense of humor about hair loss. I manage to make a joke here or there about it. I remember seeing a poster on the ceiling of my dentist's office when I was a kid, it was a Garfield picture with Odie and it said "We Must All Learn To Laugh At Ourselves." I've always remembered that. The other day I was at the grocery store with my fiance, and I guess I was just having a forgetful day and he was commenting on it to which I said "Ahhhh leave me alone I have A-L-O-P-E-C-I-A" dragging out the last word very slowly. Is reply was "SOOO DOOOO I" Ha! We both started laughing. Hi Mira - The head scarves is a great idea and I'm going to get myself some because like you mentioned, the gym mirrors are a whole other thing to deal with the scarf sort of takes care of 2 problems.

My husband bought it for me. He doesn't seem to mind my bald head, thank goodness. When I'm feeling devasted, the tee shirt cheers me up a bit.

They soak up the sweat and prevent me from having to see my scalp in the many-mirrors of the gym! You really are so much more than your hair, try to hold on to that thought!
