Long before surgery I had made the decision to wear a wig while my hair grew back. Finding one I like was much harder than I imagined. I don’t have voluminous hair and it seemed I could only find wigs that were too puffy. I visited any wig store I could find. I ordered and retuned more than I can remember.
The human hair wigs I found were out of my price range. So, I stayed in the human/synthetic blend wigs.
Then one magical day, or so it seemed, I found “the one”! It was my hair color, length and best of all, it wasn’t piled too high with hair. The moment I looked in the mirror, I just saw me. The me that I wanted to see after surgery. Face it, going in public I would look like I had brain surgery. Then came the price tag, ouch! It was as least 1/3 less than any other human hair wig I had found. The store owner makes her own wigs and cuts out the middleman. Still, I couldn’t justify paying so much money on a wig.
I kept on looking at other wigs but nothing compared to “the one”. The whole purpose of finding a wig was to look like myself. In the end, I went back and bought “the one”. I love my wig!
