Teddi Mellencamp Seeks Solutions For Post-Surgery Hair Woes

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) alum, Teddi Mellencamp, is fighting the good fight against cancer. However, one thing bugs her. Her very short hair, which fans agree looks stunning, isn’t as good as they think, in her opinion. On the weekend, she reached out to her followers on social media for some helpful tips.

The Problem With Wigs

On the weekend, Teddi took to her Instagram profile page and discussed her hair. She explained that while she loves the look of wigs, they, unfortunately, cause her intense itching. Therefore, she seeks other ways to feel more comfortable and confident.

Posting another photo, the RHOBH alum explained:

The other side of my head is completely bald. Please refer your fave non-itchy or hot wigs. Dear half-wig/half-baseball caps from Amazon…let’s do better. I was so excited for you. You hurt my feelings.

Fans Reacted With Varying Ideas 

One thing that the equestrian could do, is shave her head completely bald like Sinnead O’Connner. She was a well-known Irish singer-songwriter before she passed away in 2023, and people recall how beautiful she looked with no hair. However, it seems that Mellecamp is not keen on shaving her head bald.

Many fans told her that she should embrace her ethereal beauty. One of them wrote, “You are stunning with or without hair. Easy for me to say I know …but it’s the truth!” Others agreed, but imagine going for dinner with half your head bald?  

Others made their recommendations to the former reality TV star whose cancer became metastatic.  Here are a few of them:

• You are stunning…inside and out! Human hair wigs are a lot cooler than synthetic. I find they are all itchy and annoying but serve the purpose of feeling more confident. I always wore fabric headbands with my wigs to conceal the line, and that worked for me.
• There is a shop in Beverly Hills that is all real hair. Much less itchy. Best of luck.
• Bamboo caps are great. I sleep with them as they keep my head warm and they are soft. Also recommend moogoo scalp cream to wash in shower. My wigs are a bit itchy too so not sure what to suggest there.

The Struggle Is Serious, But Support Helps

Bravo fans can only admire the reality TV alum who some critics felt was pathetic, drama-wise on the show. Her cancer fight has been unrelenting and full of positivity. In fact, many people can’t get over her bravery. Now that people see the depth of her courage, they admire her a lot.

Many friends support Teddi, and her husband, Edwin Arroyave, leads the way alongside cast members like Kyle Richards. While people might think that worrying about her hair is a minor issue, with more tumors found than originally thought existed, looking and feeling good is part and parcel of the fight.
