Wigs for wedding 2 – hair loss story

Amy Johnson, AKA @amyonwigs on Instagram, runs a group called Wig Wisdom on Facebook with her close friend @crazywiglady. They focus on educating and supporting women who are experiencing hair loss. You can also find Amy’s YouTube channel at: www.youtube.com/amyonwigs, which is also full of helpful videos for new and experienced wearers of alternative hair.

As I hung up the phone, a wave of dread overtook the perfect joy I had just experienced. My oldest son had called to let me know that he planned to ask his girlfriend, his soulmate, to marry him. All mothers pray for this moment-that their children will meet the right person to share their life with. And, I was beyond thrilled about this news. Visions of a perfect wedding flashed through my mind. Suddenly, they stopped abruptly on my head-my hair, actually. I couldn’t see the beauty of the bride and groom. I only envisioned the wedding photos and how I would ruin them with my messed-up hair. That was the way I saw myself-a balding photobomber who ruined every photo, every video. This moment that should have been celebrated turned into panic.

Over two decades ago, about 18 months after the birth of my second son, I began dealing with permanent hair loss. Most women experience hair shedding after they deliver a baby due to changes in their hormonal chemistry, but that gradually reverses itself and they regain any lost hair. It’s not permanent. However, that wasn’t the case for me. My hair just didn’t stop shedding, and what came out never returned. So, I went to see my OB/GYN and she referred me to a connective tissue specialist for an appraisal of my condition. The doctor took a scalp biopsy and told me that I had Androgenic Alopecia-a genetic or pattern baldness experienced by both men and women. It is inherited from one or both parents and can be triggered by hormones at any time after puberty. Hair is lost at the front, top, and the crown of the scalp. The hair loss can vary from thinning to complete baldness. It is estimated that around 50% of women over the age of 65 experience female-pattern baldness.

Now knowing that I had Androgenic Alopecia, I had to slowly come to grips with the fact that most of the hair I lost wouldn’t be coming back. I stopped coloring my hair because I could see that the chemicals in the hair dye caused me additional issues-weakening the hand strands and creating more fallout. Having a fully gray head at that age left me looking older than I was and older than my friends. But, I just didn’t see any other alternative. I struggled to style my progressively thinning hair, pulling it back in a sparse ponytail for many years and wearing fabric headbands to hide my thinning hairline. Yet every day, I knew it was getting worse, and I wouldn’t be able to camouflage it any longer.

As it turned out, the engagement announcement was the moment that led me to search for a resolution to my problem. Hitting YouTube hard, I watched dozens of videos about hair loss, which led me to wigs and wig review videos. Seeing that wigs were NOT the sweaty, molded-cap designs they were in years past, I started to entertain the idea of purchasing one. Certainly, I would have to do it quickly if I was going to find a wig and get used to wearing one before my son’s wedding. I purchased my first wig. I immediately fell in love with her, and she was in a price range that seemed reasonable for a first wig. The day she arrived, I was SO nervous! What if I looked terrible in a wig? I would have to attend the wedding and find places to hide to avoid the photographer. I know that sounds so vain, but women count on their hair to create their look. Without it, you have to redefine your identity. It’s not easy to do without your hair!

Wearing a wig to my son’s wedding gave me courage and built back up the self-esteem I had lost so many years ago. I got many compliments on my “hair,” and when the wedding festivities were over, I was ready to add to my alternative hair collection.

That’s when I discovered UniWigs, specifically the LaVivid Collection. I began wearing LIZ, a short bob with silky Kanekalon fibers. Her color, Java Shimmered, was simply gorgeous! It looked like I had just walked out of the salon with a new haircut, color, and highlights! I also own Natalie in the color Shadow Chestnut, and I adore her too!

It is amazing to me how something as easy as wearing a wig can boost a person’s self-confidence so greatly. I only wish I had known how incredible this was going to feel years ago, not having to suffer so long.

The first wig you will choose in Summer – from Amy

Out of the box, LaVivid Natalie wig boasts silky fibers and a flattering, cheek-hugging pixie style. Her side-swept bangs make this adorable cut complimentary on both younger and older ladies. She’s a feminine style with LOTS of personality!

The three colors Natalie comes in (Shadow Chestnut, Creamy Ice, and Salted Tiramisu) offer a rich color option for any skin tone.  I’ve been wearing Natalie in the luscious Shadow Chestnut…an impassioned red with a paprika flair.

Outdoors, she’s fiery. Indoors, she tones down a bit into an opulent rust. This dynamic color has turned a lot of heads this week!

Natalie Synthetic Wig
Natalie Synthetic Wig

Simply made, Natalie is a basic cap construction with comfortable and cool open wefting all around. She has a bit of Permatease for a small amount of lift. And, there are extenders at the nape to personalize your fit. Natalie is affordable because she doesn’t have some of the more expensive features, but she competes well even without a lace front or a mono top. Overall, Natalie is a super buy for the total package.

I have found Natalie an easy style to wear. She doesn’t need any product to hold her shape. Even though she’s a short cut, she can be styled with clips or a headband for a different look.

If you’re looking for a short style with pizzazz, look no further. Natalie is a striking style with an affordable price tag.

“I have several wigs and enjoy most of them. However, this one is my favorite. It never needs anything other than a shake and you are ready to go. I get compliments on it every time I wear it. I am considering getting another color. You can’t go wrong with this one!” – Halle

“Love it..looks like my own hair. Bought another for back up and because I used too strong of a hair spray and cannot now get back to original texture. Have used wig shampoo and conditioner which did not do anything to restore back to original state.
Customer Service has not responded to multiple emails for advice..very disappointing as they were helpful in the beginning.”- Kate

“I have PCOS and suffered hair loss for many years. I have to wear wigs and I have many wigs in my closet. This wig is one of my favourite. It’s very comfortable. Sometimes I wish to have bangs and it’s easily to fiddle with the front hair. I’m happy with it.”- Liz

“My friend has cancer at stage 4. I can’t imagine how she being told at that time. I know many people use wigs, So I bought this one for her. She loves it so much. Thanks God this wig helps her out.”- Halle

If you are looking for caucasian wigs

Actually, few women will search for caucasian wigs online, most of them will call them white women wigs, or just search for short wigs, even the hair color they want to match their own hair. Also, few wigs store have this collection, it seems that color wigs in synthetic hair are every where. All of these makes the caucasian wigs are more unique and rare.

It looks amazing when I wear this wig. My husband loves it. It’s cute and versatile. I love the color Honey Glaze, it makes me look more younger than my grey hair.

 

When is it to wear a wig?

We had talked about when it’s time for wearing a hair topper. Today, we are going to talk about when it’s time to wear a wig.

I think most of people know wigs. There are so many different types of wigs in the marketing. Young people would like to choose colorful wigs. There’s no doubt that it accords with the tastes of young people.

But if you want to hide your thinning hair and look more formal, you would consider it seriously. For people who have hair loss, both of hair toppers and wigs can be used.

There are two main consideration many women think about when they decide it’s time to move on from a hair topper to a wig.

First, it becomes harder and harder to integrate your topper to your bio hair. Secondly, the ends of your hair might become so thin that it’s difficult to integrate that area, too.

It’s definitely a personal decision, but wigs can be a fast & simple solution to integration problems, or for women whose hair loss is too advanced to comfortably wear toppers. Or, for those that just want to!
