I don't follow the form much anymore. I am comfortable with wearing and maintaining my hairpiece, and I prefer to get on with my life and concentrate on other things. However, I recently went diving with my hairpiece, and I thought that I would share my experience.

I dove in a hot/humid climate for 5 days. I dove twice each day except for one day when I made 4 dives. I had a professional cut my hair and attach my hair on Friday, and I dove Sunday through Thursday. It is Friday evening and I am still comfortably wearing the same attachment. My barber used the blue tape with holes in it. He cut it to form a complete perimeter for my hairpiece, closely shaved the top of my head, wiped with alcohol, and applied. After the third day, I cut blue boomerang tape (the tape I normally use) into a 1/4 inch width by 1 inch long contour of my front hairline and reattached the front.

I was careful while putting on and taking off my mask, and I made an effort to keep my hair a little wet to reduce the chance of any detection when I was in the wind. I also put a little conditioner in my hair after I rinsed it between dives. Additionally, I was comfortable and I looked sharp on the boat, at the cafe, at the parties, etc.

Overall, it was very low drama.

Also, I could have easily attached the hair myself and been just as successful. I only had a professional do it because I needed a haircut anyway.

Don't let your hair piece decide what you are going to do or not do!!!!!
