This gives me faith in wigs. I also may go down that route.

I think you have all managed to convince me. The wigs are quite expensive so I canāt be too daring.
Thank you @Blossom

Unfortunately, thatās the downside to them.
Just make sure you get wig shampoo and a synthetic hair leave in āconditionerā. (Iām assuming youāre not going for human hair.)

Yes. I have had human hair extensions, but not human hair wigs.

Do they start to stink easily and do you have to wash them like every other day @pandy

Sorry that you are going through this. It is extremely challenging. Hair is such a big part of my identity. But sometimes we have to adapt to changing circumstances.
Iām on abilify, and like how you were on that one, I see my hair has gotten thinner.
I personally think wigs might be an OK option once getting used to them.
And really looking after them.
Good luck

Thank you so much @Zoe. I hope your hair doesnāt continue to shed. Looking at your photos, your hair is beautiful, thick and shiny, so not noticeable to others. I know this doesnāt help how you feel though.

Too late, hair is going, going and will soon be gone.

In my shared house another schizophrenic shaved her head completely. With hair she seemed more approachable and friendly to me. No idea why she did it, now she has very short hair.

Usually every few times you wear them. Unfortunately, washing them a lot means they wear out faster. Thatās why itās good to buy the best quality you can.

That is one of the reasons why I am so sad about losing my hair. I felt people could approach me more easily as my curly hair was a āfriendlyā look.
If I do get a wig I definitely wonāt be going out in public with just a shaved head.
My thought was maybe she went religious.

I can understand being sad about the hair.
Hair is a big part of my look too, and I find it drastically changes my looks depending on the style.
No one says it has to be a buzzcut, though. There are lots of styles for short hair.
Iāve had short hair plenty of times, but I feel it accentuates my high cheekbones nicely, so I donāt mind

Thank you @Pikasaur . A short style wonāt work as the damage is from root to ends. It is as though my hair has literally died.
I have just now ordered a curly wig in a sandy blonde colour and all the accessories required - $520.00 Australian Dollars later. When it arrives it is off to the hair dresser to have it shaved.

So, I skipped all the comments, but Iām a really fat middle aged person and I buzzed my hair last year and loved it. I got soooooo many compliments on it. I think a lot more women want to do it than you realize, but everyone thinks they canāt pull it off.
Hereās mine after a couple weeks. Seems I didnāt take any pictures for awhile. Lol
And hereās after it started growing out and I hadnāt decided what to do with it yet so I put gel in it.
The upkeep was too much for me at the time, so Iāve been letting it grow out for a year now. But it still doesnāt go in a ponytail, so Iāve decided that if itās not ponytail length by the first hot day, usually around April, Iām shaving it for good.
