I came out a few years ago. Like most of the men in my family in my early 30s I very quickly developed a rather pronounced widow's peak with big bald patches to either side. I grew my hair out (after an initial stage of glamorous but convincing wigs) and rather long, but the hair that I had grown out over several years was never very good quality anyway - as a blonde, my hair has always been more feather like and stringy than mane-like and luxurious, no matter how many products I pump into it - but with the loss of hair on my temples (aggravated by wearing a visor cap at my minimum wage stay-afloat job) - I never had the hair I wanted. Stylists couldn't do anything with the front of my hair because of the bald temples, and I couldn't pull off long styles very well because with my hair down the bald spots showed up.
Finally, after years of wrestling with it, I stumbled across an alopecia-related website and discovered that lots of cis-women have thin or patchy hair, especially in the front, and opt to buy glamorous wigs as opposed to feeling bad about their natural hair forever. This made me consider going back to wigs myself. I cant afford transplants, but the wigs I used to buy were totally affordable.
Has anyone else considered or done something similar?
