Wife #1: The Brunette

Today I went to pick up my wig from Violet at the Centre of Hair and Wellness in Moorhead. When I first went out to her, I had decided to buy one of the least expensive ones right on the spot just so I would for sure have one. But I decided to buy it in a blonde color so they had to order it. It was kinda an impulse buy- the cheapest and  it was fine, I thought. Well then I did my research! I was a little bummed that she hadn't tried to talk me into waiting or at least made me go with a nicer cap. Betcha didn't even know there were standard caps, monofilament, lace fronts, full lace, and hand-tied wigs. Did ya? Neither did I. But now I do and the one I had bought was just a standard cap. Bummer! Anywho- when I got there she said she wasn't able to get the exact wig in but she had found one she thought I'd like. Fortunately for me, I didn't. It totally looked like I was wearing a wig. Shoot! I told her that I knew I'd already bought the other one (not the one she actually had for me though, remember?) but was wondering if she'd let me use what I paid for that one towards a more expensive one. She agreed. I went in a totally different direction. And I LOVE it! She's gonna bill my insurance so with what I already paid, I actually will be getting money back. (Let's pretend we didn't even already pay some towards it that way I feel like I got a really good deal! LOL)
I still have to decide if I'm gonna swallow the big lump in my throat (they start at $1000) and buy a "human hair" wig but for now... the benefits of a synthetic wig I've read about are pretty appealing. 1-I can get several of them for a fraction of the price. Options, baby! I love it! 2-I never have to do my hair again. Just put it on, smooth it down and go. Wahoo! Simplify is my new favorite word so yeah for me! And look how cute I am: Bonus!

I also made a stop at the American Cancer Society. They offer one free wig to cancer patients. I decided to go blonde for this one. ;) They had to order it for me so I didn't get to try it on. I hope I look OK in it but the picture is pretty so we'll just hope for the best. They also let me pick out a hat and a wig cap. They were very kind. I'm glad I stopped by. I'll take a picture of me in that one when it comes. So stay tuned for the Wife #2: The Blondie LOL

Like I said I may get a fancy human hair wig after my hair falls out. or maybe I just wanna be a redhead, a brunette, sport a little black and perhaps some curls? We'll see! LOL
