Hole in the Head

jenc · 06-02-2008, 07:01 AM

I am soon going to have a large sebacious cyst removed from the back of my head. It is about 1 inch across (2.5cm) so there will be quite a large hole shave in my hairstyle. i currently wear it long in the front , fringe in my eyes , longish on top and short round ears and back, but I am obviously going to have to go very short, and /or wear something on my head. suggestions please

A clip with hair extension maybe?
Or you could do a cute headscarf to cover the head?

How about trying out a fall? I know several dancers who wear these while performing with great results. And not as hot as a wig....

Latifa's idea sounds like a good idea, and you wouldn't need to cut your hair short.

You have several options til your hair grows back!
You can wear a fall, you can also buy lighter clip-on extensions!
You can also look VERY exotic by tying a sparkly scarf around your head...this can be anything from chiffon with sequins to beaded caps!
A LARGE WIDE headband will also hug the back of your head and may cover...
I wish you a speedy healing!

I recently had something similar done - I had a little square inch of hair shaved off so they could poke around with some kind of biopsy. My sister is a whizz with hair, and cut my hair from being long to being in a shoulder length style. Then she took a weft of human hair and glued it to my head with that funny extension glue. No one is any the wiser!

Good luck,

unfortunately my hair is only 2 inches long so that is not an option. And my cyst is a whopper at least one inch across. I'm having it done on 19th now so will keep you posted

Hi Jenc,
Sounds like your hair will be back in no time at all. If you wear your hair short generally then you are only talking about one month max to cover the area.
I am sure everything will be fine in no time at all.
Keep us posted about how it goes and I am wishing you well.

My hair is not that short!! After one month I will have hair up to about half an inch long so it will take about 8 months to get to the length I wear it now!!

I dont mean that! I mean you wont see your scalp. My mum had it done years back and her hair was meduim length. You tend not to notice as much once you have some natural coverage across the area, it just blends in better.
