Romans828, just go for it! In the long term it's worth it which I'm sure you know!
I am 6 weeks out and am wearing a hat everywhere. Lucky enough I own my business so I can wear one there. None if my friends asked why I am wearing a hat yet, but I have been avoiding people so they don't keep seeing me in one.
There will definitely be a period where you don't look good. Right now most of my redness has gone and I had most of the shedding already. So I don't look great but I know every day forward is an improvement.
For me my biggest issue is a wedding that is 6 weeks away. That will be just under the three month mark. I'm not sure what my hair will look like and how to wear it.
For you, if it's possible to say you went to a doctor for something and have to keep it covered, then you may feel a lot better being out. Again, 3 months down for the rest of your life, go for it.
