Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon
Sorry, I didn't see your question.
I had heard conflicting stories on this. During the holidays, I went through Chicago Ohare, Cleveland, DC, and Los Angeles airports all with no problems. However, I had no metal combs in my wig and no metal hair pins. Before going thru security I had removed all but two hair pins (one in front, one in back). In the security line, I removed those two. I put the hair pins in my purse and once I made it through security, I went immediately to the rest room and put all the pins back in.
I talked to one of the TSA folks and asked her if people were required to remove wigs. She said not usually. If you walk through the scanner with no problems, it's not an issue. If, however you set off the scanner, TSA will pat you down just as they do any other passenger, in addition, they may pat your wig--just enough to explain why you're head is beeping
(e.g. metal pins, clips, etc). In addition, you can request a private screening (go to a private room where you can remove the wig).
I also had a trip to Peru. Sorry, but I was not taking any chances on being featured on an episode of "Locked Up Abroad" because of a wig "situation".
So I had my hair braided into a nice bun and left the wig at home. However, my bun had maybe 25 METAL hair pins...this didn't occur to me until I was trying to leave the country. But thanks be to God, no alarms were was set off.
Do they make you take off your wig in security????

I'll use it when I take them down in another week!
even though wehave discussed many times my bald spot because caused by medical issues and stress. She just kept going on and on it brought me to tears. I really don't understand why she can't be supportive my my hair journey.
I don't even what to describe what her scalp looks like. This is why I ignore any hair advice she gives me.
I'm so sorry. Try applying aloe vera gel and tea tree oil on the weak balding spots, I hope it helps. I think your mother is jealous. When she brings up hair, maybe you can just change the subject quickly before she gets going. 
Congrats!
My main issue is looking for my wigs every morning. I guess I take it off and throw it down somewhere...bad habit, I know. I just can't spend 5 mins looking for my keys and an extra 10-15 mins searching for my hair.
