Gowning

I am often in production environments where you need to "gown up".

This means really big white (very unattractive) overalls, hair nets, saftey shoes and safety glasses.

Safety and quality is critical and I find these procedures really support that message, so I really don't mind doing it!

However some of the steps are a little cumbersome, and for wig wearers, they are also challenging.

Have you ever tried putting a hair net over a wig?

It is terribly difficicult, I keep thinking the elastic is going to tighten up and suck in my wig. What a sight that would be.

Also you have to tuck in all your hair, not so easy as wig hair does not bend and flow the same way as natural hair. It really is a jigsaw puzzle, done mostly without the aide of a mirror.

Then there are the safety glasses. Have you ever wondered where you put the glasses arms? Under the wig or on top of the wig? Then add another layer of a hair net. It becomes a nightmare!!!!
Where do the arms go?

So that was my alopecia challenge of the day. How to gown up without making it obvious that I am bald!!

Well I survived and who cares if they noticed. Its fun to be a bit quirky!
