My wig cane off when I was having sex with my boyfriend :(
Im 17 and i am regrowing my hair. A month ago my stepmom, who was incredibly upset that I told my dad she cheated on him with a coworker (I overheard her talking about it)- put nair in my shampoo. She openly admitted it when I came out of the shower screaming about my falling hair. My dad pressed charges on her immediately. Now I have to wear a wig until my hair grows back fully and healthily. It’s not completely ruined but it doesn’t look right. I’m incredibly insecure about having to wear a wig now and I don’t like it at all. My hair was thick and pretty. And I’ve never told my boyfriend, hes also 17, about any of this because it’s too embarrassing for me.
I do my best to make my wig look “real” but I catch my boyfriend staring at my hair sometimes and I think he notices the different texture. I’m bIack so my hair has really tight curls and it’s hard for wigs to imitate it. My boyfriend is whīte but his mom is a professional hairstylist so he knows how “our” hair is. So I guess it was kinda dumb of me to think he wouldn’t recognize a difference. Yesterday we were having sex. He grabbed ahold of my hair and it came off. I screamed and grabbed it from him and I started crying while putting it back on. He said sorry and kept saying it’s not an issue but I was too embarrassed to say anything to him. I moved over to the drivers seat and said I’m taking him home now. I dropped him off and when I got home I started crying again because I was so embarrassed. He called me twice but I didn’t answer.
He texted me saying that he knew I was wearing a wig and it didn’t bother him because it’s not his business. He added that if I have a disease or condition then I can tell him about it but only if I want to. I told him what happened with my ex stepmom. He told me he was sorry that happened to me. He told me that hair grows back and it has nothing to do with how beautiful I am. I stopped texting him because I’m still incredibly embarrassed and I don’t think I will ever get past this. He’s been calling and texting again but I just can’t respond. He was probably only saying these things because he felt like he had to but I’m sure I’m not as attractive to him anymore.
