Justerxr, you are doing great. And I would bet that most people don't know exactly what it is you've done.

Getting a piece makes you look drastically better so of course some people will be a little jealous! One of my friends noticed I had something done. I was a little paranoid for a while wondering if he was aware it was a piece, but recently he told my girlfriend "I know what Mr.Burns is doing, he's dying his hair, right?".

So all that time I thought he was looking at my hair thinking "it's a wig", when in fact he was curious about my grey areas. He is also going grey (he has long thick hair, but getting a little lighter recently).

Honestly, most people who meet you newly will not notice. And people who know you for years will start to adjust and will also forget about your new look after a few weeks... I promise They will get bored of looking at your hair (that's unless they have absolutely nothing better to do!).
