Hello again.
My wig journey started in December at an appointment with my endocrinologist where she concluded that the gig was up and the medicine she’s prescribed for hair loss (androgenetic alopecia otherwise known as female pattern baldness) wasn’t working so I should stop taking it. I bought a hair topper from Amazon, another one from the Tik Tok shop, and finally a good one from Uniwigs. Grid photos 1,2,3,5,6 are all toppers and the rest are wigs. Photos 1 & 5 are the same topper – one is just curled. She’s Aura from Uniwigs. She is my only human hair, the rest are synthetic. No. 4 is Montecito by Belle Tress. Photo 7 is Valencia by Belle Tress. Photos 8 & 9 are the same wig by Belle Tress – Newport. I share this information in case you are thinking about wearing hair and see something that catches your fancy. I didn’t know any of this was even a real possibility until I saw someone on Instagram showing the Uniwigs topper. I was pretty sure I was just going to gradually go bald. Period. End of story. WRONG! I have written a new middle to my story and it includes a glorious crown of hair. Go me!
I’ve worn all of these to school. Everyone including the kids are great! After a while no one notices or cares. But I notice. I love putting on my hair in the morning.
If you’re on your own hair loss journey keep me posted. There are communities of hair-wearers all over social media. A great sisterhood bound together by their passion for and interest in HAIR.
See you soon dear middle-aged mammals. Thanks for your comments & emails. I’m delighted to be back in touch. xo
