A Message To All Undecided New Wig Wearers

Wig Culture In America

However, my body hair, eyebrows, lashes, nails, and also my hearing went too, and since a completely hairless individual is a strange sight for many people to take in, I decided to invest in a wig and meet this challenge head-on, so to speak. It was one of the best things I have ever done. There can be few morale-boosters equal to walking through a busy hospital and hearing one of the staff call out, “nice hair!” Or being stopped in the street and told,

“Your hair looks fabulous, have you just come from the salon?” If you choose to wear a wig be prepared for this to happen to you too, and often! In America, wearing a wig is trendy and looked upon as a fun way of life, but it’s possible to become so addicted that it turns into an obsession. A peek into some people’s closets will reveal shelves full of beautiful pieces on their stands, arranged in perfect order and colour range, as you would a rack of dresses. Apparently, it’s an incredible feeling to step out each morning looking totally different from the way you looked yesterday.

Such interest and demand mean that a wig boutique may be found on the majority of larger shopping plazas, and it’s a lovely way to spend a leisurely morning finding out which is the look for you, and viewing the vast range of colours for real instead of having to rely on photographs. That said, we are all indebted to the wonderful team at Simply Wigs for their dedication and constant support in helping us over these hurdles; also to the large community of wig wearers out there, whose gorgeous selfies and informative articles are such an inspiration.

Wig Advice From A Wig Wearer

After 21 years the ovarian cancer has re-surfaced, a difficult fact to process, and I’m once again on carboplatin in the certain knowledge that, although my body has has never reappeared, what little of my scrubby eyebrows and other sparse attributes did re-grow will no be finished off for good. Time then for a super new look via a super new wig, and a super new surge of confidence as the result!

Ignore the cynics who try to tell you that a wig is hot, itchy, uncomfortable, and looks like a mat. Modern wigs are delightful, light and airy, easy to wear, and sensation looking. The colours are divine! A close inspection of the strands throws up an astonishingly wide range, from white through orange, and gold to black, and every shade in-between. We all know of women who will happily spend hundreds of pounds (and as many hours)

Jazz wig – Shaded Praline

at the hairdresser’s trying to capture the subtle tints and tones that are found in even the most basic wig, and of course they fail because such minute variations cannot be copied. Factor in today’s dedication to precise fit (though how I would love to see more offerings in a petite size!) and you have everything you need to look stunning. The benefits of a wig are threefold, or at the very least four (if you count the fact that it will last for many years if well cared for):

Finally, if you are still hesitating over whether or not to join the wig wearing community, I urge you not waste another moment and just go for it! Take your beautiful new piece out of its box, give it a good couple of shakes, put it on firmly, tease it up a bit with your fingers and away you go. Get ready for the compliments and never, ever have another bad hair day. I wish you the joy I have had from my own wig wearing happy years, plus all the good health in the world to go with it.
