Exhibit A:
This hair loss evidently runs in my mother's side of the family as well, because my Mom and Grandmother both have significant thinning...so much so that they both decided a couple of years ago to get wigs. They are adorable and look so natural on them. My mom jokingly said one day that if I quit smoking that she would buy me a wig (because she knew my hair loss bothers me so much). I didn't think much of it until earlier this week, when I got that bad haircut. It got me to thinking how I haven't felt "pretty" or attractive in a long time, and how I never want to go anywhere because I'm so self conscious of my hair loss. I know "it's just hair", and hair doesn't define me, but I liken the way I'm feeling to someone who has had to wear dorky coke bottle glasses or someone who has really crooked teeth. They might feel self conscious, their self esteem might take a blow. But...the first time they wear their new contacts or get their braces taken off to reveal a straight smile...imagine how good they must feel about themselves!
So...I decided to take my Mom up on her offer of a wig. We went to get it today. And I love it!!!
It matches my natural color perfectly, and I think the style is just adorable! My hubby loves it, my "inner circle" (big sis, best friend, parents) all love it, so it definitely passed the test!!! It's similar to how I used to wear my hair back when I had hair, so it's not a drastic change.
I couldn't be happier!
Looks great!

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! It looks so natural and it frames your face so well!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend here who wears a wig and I knew her for 6 months when one day I asked where she got her hair done because it always looked so good. Her reply? "Oh honey, this is a wig!" I was stunned.
You look even lovelier with the new do!
Well, that is absolutely precious and I would never, ever guess it's a wig! Love it!! You look great!
