My Final Word on Wigs

I probably should have wrote this post a long time ago but life keeps flying by so quickly it's hard to keep track of it all.
I haven't really worn a wig at all since the end of October {almost 4 months ago}. Looking back at pictures of when I stopped wearing one, I can't believe I ever left the house like that. It was SOOO short! But I do remember that as it was growing back and  I was still wearing the wig, it was smashing the new fuss and stunting the growth in some places. Brett kept encouraging me to let it do it's thing and go natural. At least that was the mentality behind the abrupt stop to the fake do.

A few things that I did learn about wigs from my experience. Take it for what it's worth!---
* Get one really great wig! You'll end up spending a few bucks but it's worth it. It doesn't necessarily have to be made of real hair (and in fact I enjoyed NOT having to fuss with styling it. "Slip it on, smooth it down and go" was the best for me!) But get at least one you really LOVE! Getting more than that would purely be for fun!
* Make sure you try it on before you buy it. Best advice ever! Wish someone would have told me that! I bought a couple online but neither of those are my favorite. Such a bummer! So... Try before you buy! My two cents from first hand experience.
* I would spend the extra money and get a monofilament cap (and possibly with a lace front). That way it looks like the hair is coming from your scalp. Have no idea what I am talking about? LOL Well, while I was researching for wigs at the beginning, I came across this WIG GUIDE on wigs.com. It's really helpful!
* Buy yourself a soft "Cancer Turban". This 3 seam cotton one was my favorite. Cuz let's face reality. Wearing a wig ALL the time is a pain (and itchy)! I wore this a lot!!!

* Take a deep breath. Hair grows back. Maybe not as fast as one would like but you won't be wearing a wig forever!
