I wanna go swimming, what effect does the water have on the artificial hair? And what if anything can I put on my head to keep my hair style mostly intact? I was thinking some kind of cute headband but I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this. I don't want my bangs floating off lol.

I think your biggest fear should be the clips ripping out your own hair first, and then floating off.

The reason you shouldn't sleep or swim in them is not only because of unnecessary wear and tear on the hair piece but also because of pulling or resistence ripping your own hair out.

Water won't damage them but washing them in shampoo for real hair instead of artificial hair will. If you're planning on swimming laps I wouldn't do it in your bangs. If you're not planning on getting your hair wet then you should be fine. If you happen to get dunked once or splashed it should be alright, just keep an eye on the bangs that they're staying in place. A headband or tying a bandana or scarf over the clips might help too.

Good luck :)

Swim cap, what am I 60 hehe?! I'm kidding, swim caps, I'd rather just look at the water if it came to that. I'm not really swimming laps.

Probably going to a water park or just taking a dunk in the pool. Our new apartment is like 10 feet from the pool, it's too hard not to want to go. I'll keep a lookout for a headband that matches the swimsuit I am going to pickup today. Epilated my chest and back so I can wear it without looking crappy. Wow that sucked. Getting a one piece red with white polkadot, halter straps. It's a retro styled suit and looks amazing.

But I'm glad to know the pool won't hurt the hair. I have a spare for when they go bad, but I'm hoping by that time my real hair will be useable by then. It's just thin in the front.

      It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people.   Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either.    Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise.

      Wednesday CNA was rather agreeable today (unusual for her). She basically just stated, "you really need to read your bible." I answered, "yes thank you, I do!"   She wanted to tighten my bra bands and I told her I don't like them too tight.  She said, "oh yeah, yours are just fat and not milk ducts so they aren't heavy."   That started into a conversation about how a bra works, and that the band/gore support the majority of the weight. The bands just helps keep things aligned.    Also, my mammograms say, "scattered fibroglandular tissue" just like a third of women out there. They most definitely have milk glands.

      I have to wonder if interstate commerce laws might be violated here.    Hugs,   Charlize

      This tread is based on the titling of a bill.  That is what the judges ruling spoke to.  Please keep on topic.  If one wishes to write about rest room funding one can start a topic.      Pity the title did not also mention restricting the rights of the parents who support their children.  Perhaps that is only important if a child tries to speak to a teacher about gender issues.  Then, suddenly, parental rights become important.   Hugs,   Charlize

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.
