Looking in the mirror, I straightened my wig, took a deep breath, and headed out my front door for the first time in over a year.
After chemotherapy and radiotherapy, I was left with a soft fluffy covering of salt and pepper hair that refused to grow past an inch long. My confidence was shattered, and I knew hiding myself away from the world was doing myself, and my young daughter no good.
Desperate to be a positive role model for her, and tired of just existing, I ordered my first wig from Simply Wigs. Trying it on for the first time I saw flashes of my old self, trying out hair accessories and parting it in different ways, my confidence growing with each style.
Walking through the crowds of shoppers I felt myself holding my head a little higher, feeling a little lighter, smiling at strangers as I looked at outfits and make up to match my new yet old look.
Today, I have a whole collection from Simply Wigs, wearing them when I just fancy a change now, knowing I’m beautiful with or without hair, but eternally grateful for gaining the confidence to step out of the door that day and start my life again.
Love to you all, Christine x
