It's time to talk DATING 😫
Whether it's going on a date with your partner of 15 years, or going on a date with a new match from Tinder, dating and wearing hair can be totally nerve-wracking!
Meeting someone new comes with so many challenges. Before your new Tinder fling even starts to make plans, you're thinking, "please let them pick the cinema"… the darkness will be your friend, right?
But they do NOT pick the cinema, instead the suggestion is a picnic in the park, in full daylight. Shit.
Now what the heck do I do about my hair? Maybe I can wear a hat?
But trust me when I saw you don't need to worry. People are CLUELESS about hair! They just don't notice. We know it's easy for us to say but truly in ALL our years of wearing hair, we've NEVER had anything said to us.
Dating can be daunting enough but dating with hair loss is a whole new level! So here are our tips for getting through your first date when you're new to the alternate hair world.
1. Practice
Bio hair or alternate hair, testing out a new hairstyle when you're getting ready for a first date is always a no. Tensions are already high pre-date. So, practice exactly what hair you're going to rock on the day. A perfect look is a practised look.
2. Prepare
On the wild chance that your date brings up your hair (chances are it will just be a ‘your hair is incredible’ especially if you're wearing a Lusta piece) be prepared. The best defence is always a plan.
If your date says, "I love your hair" just reply with a, "thank you so much" - simple, easy.
Now if someone asks a more probing question like, "have you done something to your hair?" You can just go with a, "Yeah, I actually went to the salon today."
But if they notice it's thicker (they won't, but if they do) the BEST response is, "yep, I got hair extensions" or if you’re feeling ready, just tell then straight out that you're wearing hair. The more confident you are in your hair, the more their reaction will follow your vibe!
3. Sex
The topic no one wants to talk about but we have to, right?
When it comes to getting your date between the sheets, what on EARTH are you supposed to do? Now, let's get personal, we don't wear our alternate hair during sex but that doesn't mean you can't. We just don't recommend anything too rough because no one wants topper or wig clips pulling on their hair.
And with all of that said, here's our life advice…if the person you’re on a date with is rude or judgemental of your situation, they're probably (definitely) not the one. You dodged a bullet and thank goodness for that! The best partner for you will love you for you, hair loss and all 🤎
