Finding Your Natural Spirit with Human Hair Wigs
The majority of us never imagined the indestructible Chandra Utsinger, my high school BFF, might someday need a collection of lace front wigs. Her extravagant long black hair flowed in sync with her mystique. Get this. There’s no question she will always be recognized for her impeccable looks. Not many in town even care that she lives confidently wearing lace wigs. It’s not so unusual.
When we were young girls in the hill country, we used to stole the spotlights to every dance. A few years went by before her alopecia took effect and her hair wouldn’t be the same. I mentioned these human hair wigs. Oh well, she shrugged it off. Even on bad days she proudly never let you forget about her shaved head.
At our alma mater’s baseball championship, we ate nuts till her beau accidentally threw the ball (or whatever they play with) at the crowd. My bff jumped up for it when her hand-knitted “head sweater” (her idea) jumped from her head, revealing her shiny head. Totally upreturbed, she lobbed it playfully to her man. That’s so her!
But, nobody is perfect. Not too long after we got together for a cookie baking marathon, the day she grabbed my arm and confided that she prefers to do without hair out of anger. She loved her old hair so much she can’t even become dependent on beautiful wigs, even if she wanted one. Suddenly she our fearless protagonist grew embarrassed and requested that I drop it. So I did.
I couldn’t drop it. Shortly after, I talked about going shopping with me for a new lace front wig. Finally we arrived at the perfect solution: we’ll think of wigs as fashion, and we love fashion. One for me and one for her.
Not sure who was more floored by the options. We didn’t realize that women’s human hair wigs could be vital to fashion for people, even superstars. These wigs made her so lovely. I pieced together a completely modern ensemble to wear with my wig. Its become an inside joke, you know. Not long ago she gave me a photo of us in our wigs and thanked me for reintroducing, and disclosed that it encourages a new attitude in her life. It’s delightful to see her live a happier existence. Can’t wait to see that infamous “toss ‘n turn” again.
