ok its really simple imo. you have a simple choice facts are that all look better with hair. unless you have real dark complexion.that sure helps when you are balding.
simple get the guts up and go get a cutin. stop worrying about your look so bad. you will get a stress attack before anything else.you got 2 months to practice to get it right for new job.
!
#1 get a pro to do the first cutins. whre do you live maybe we can tell u some places.
maybe wear bands to hid hairline?? not sure your age..
but get somne balls as after you start wearing , you will feel much more confident. i wish at 48 now that was my only problem in life yours with wearing. ITS A big STEP. but not as big as you will think after wearing awhile. i been wearing now like 8 yrs?? dont mean to be rude to you just helpfull..

also get both piecs cutin at the same time so u can rotate them to make clean ups easier as a newbee. slap new one on head while cleaning the other

Thanks guys for all the replies. I'm 23 - I must admit, I don't have too many stresses in my life, but this whole thing has really depressed me and I need to do something to get myself out of this rut.

I have researched this route for 2 years now - I know what to do and how to do it, so to speak, even though I haven't done it before. I know how it all works.

Also, at 23, I feel very young to be doing this. If I were older, it would almost be more "acceptable". It's just you wouldn't expect to find too many people in their early 20s to go down the hair replacement path (even though I am sure there are stacks who have).

The plan is to ring the stylist tomorrow morning - hopefully I have the guts to follow through and do it.

Also, I'll never get a better time in my life to do this. Once I start full time work, that is it for the next 30-40 years of my life. I won't be able to transition as easy. So I know that I MUST act very soon - it will be for the best in the long run.
