Title: Free from the piece
Post by: DAVIS30 on September 11, 2011, 01:09:33 PM: Just some backround. I wore a hair system from the age of 23 for 22 years until a few weeks ago. A few times over the last couple of years I wanted to get rid of it, but did not have the courage. I couldn't believe that I was paying $280 a month for something that only looked real for a week or so, itched like crazy, required a 2 hour appointment every month, and in the end, I pretty much hated. You could say I felt trapped. Last summer I told myself this is it, I'm getting rid of it over the Christmas vacation from work. I thought of a million excuses not to do it. Over this past spring I had finally had it, and kept telling myself no more. I found this site a couple of months ago, and read stories similar to mine. It was almost as if I could have written them myself. The more I read, the more I was convinced that there was no turning back and that I will not be a prisioner to fake hair anymore. As mid August approached, I prepared myself and a few people around me. I ordered a headblade sport(which works great), told my wife(after 2 weeks of trying) of course she was thrilled, and watched videos on how to do the deed. I think the hardest part of the whole process was going back to work without hair. My friends and collegues were great about it. I still got a few why questions. I said I wanted a change, and going to Orlando in August made the decision easy. In conclusion, I have absolutely no regrets. I encourage anyone else on the fence to muster up the courage and do it.
