Sparking Life Affirmation: Medical Wigs to Compliment Personality
Our group of friends couldn’t believe the incredible Colleen Dreskell, my high school BFF, would accessorize with lace front wigs. Her iconic long black hair was synonymous with her personality. Have you seen her lately? Miss Prim n’ Proper is still recognized for her hair. Very few know she compensates for medical hair loss with quality black wigs. They work well.
When we were young girls in our home town of Scottsdale, we regularly swept all the beauty pageants. In our twenties her hair loss reared its head and her hair thinned spottily. I suggested some lace front wigs. Whatever, balding was no big deal to her. She took the time and never let you forget about her bald-headed look.
Attending our alma mater’s baseball championship, we heckled till a guy on other team clumsily launched the orb (or that thing they use) at us. Quick on her feet, she jumped up for it when her hand-knitted “head sweater” (her idea) fell off, unveiling her naked head. Totally upreturbed, she tossed the ball right back at him. She’s that kind of girl.
That said, who can be invincible at all times? One time we got together for a cookie baking marathon, where she sat me down and revealed that she opts to make do with a shorn head out of anger. She would never become dependent on beautiful wigs, secretly acknowledging she would wear them. Then just like that miss invincible stopped talking and requested that I should think nothing more of it. I had to oblige.
I wanted to help so bad. That night, I called about settling the wig issue. After a long deliberation we both came to the only logical action: we’d buy each other wigs Wigs for the both of us, on me!
We had a great time, flabbergasted by how natural they looked. She never knew that wigs were so professionally crafted for people, even superstars. These womens wigs complimented her natural beauty. As for me, coordinated a delightfully contemporary set of outfits to go with my wig. We’re inseparable, forever and always. Last Christmas she sent me her thanks for giving her back her hair, and explained it invites new vibrance for many occasions. It’s a relief to watch her float about as light as a feather. I’m right there with her.
