Disguising a cystic scalp

Squeezy Bean, on December 22, 2020 at 6:06 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 8
I'm not sure of the best way to cover my scalp cysts (around 1.25 inches in size). It's a benign hereditary condition, but I have lots of them across my head. My hair is thin and I don't want them sticking out at our wedding. The majority of them are situated down the centre of my scalp, but they can grow all over. What do you think are the best options for disguise? 🤔

    for those with bald or very thin patches of hair is either a Juliette cap, or a tiny cup shaped or pillbox hat or hair jewelry made into a Juliette cap, with a small veil, usually birdcage veil. Google juliette cap with birdcage veil, as there several hundred styles on the market.

    I recommend wearing a fascinator hat. You van even get one with a veil/blusher.

    I'm not really after a veil, but I've always wanted an excuse to wear a fascinator. 😉

    I am not sure if you want but I am very thin on top from years of extensions but there is a thing called a frontal which is like the top half of a wig. You could look into extensions to cover for the day. Many black hair stylists can do all kinds of hair.

    Bob cuts can really make your hair look fuller and hide your scalp. Sometimes the longer your hair is the more it weighs down and shows your scalp. Also wigs/extensions can help. My hair was sooo thin and since getting it cut short it just looks fuller

    "Wedding Pearls of Wisdom - Hair Vine How-To - Fire Mountain Gems and Beads" https://www.firemountaingems.com/resources/weddings/871pDisguising a cystic scalp 3


    Hair vines, made with beads, disguise thin and thick hair spots. thicker, faceted glass or celestial crystal beads like little diamonds, with little pearl beads, can be made to trail in braids, but can also be tied together into caps, and attached to small pieces of veiling. Three or four rows of varied sparkle and pearl, making a wide headband rather than a single row as shown, is easy.

    My MOH made me a shower gift of tiger's eye beads as a headpiece, Which just glowed against my black hair, perfect with my pale gold gown. She maid another of of clear and red faceted glass bicone beads around the border, with leaf petal shaped crystal inside, in a cobweb pattern, for my sister who is tiny, petite and fine featured, but with very thin brittle hair on top after chemo. This open network of different size and type beads made it impossible to judge how much hair was underneath, even before she added an 8 inch spray of veil. ... If you like Do it Yourself, these are satisfying projects start to finish in 2-4 hours for a beginner. All you need is a 4 piece tool set, pliers, wire cutter, crimper, in a case for 8-15 dollars. If you are a crocheter, you can crochet a web cap and sew beads to it, rather than use beading wire. Or buy on Etsy or on a bridal store.https://www.firemountaingems.com/search/?keywords=6mm%20faceted%20biconeBicones are diamond shaped"Shopping - Fire Mountain Gems and Beads" https://www.firemountaingems.com/search?keywords=heart+glass+beadsshaped beads are fun, as are standard glass pearlsDisguising a cystic scalp 6

    I've long fantasised about the idea of a wedding top hat, which would certainly cover the entire top of my scalp. 🎩😁
