Listen Closely, Alopecia Can Be Beat With The Right Lace Front Wigs
Not many didn’t think the sparkling Caroline Upton, my high school BFF, could need a collection of lace front wigs. Her extravagant hair styles added so much to her femininity. Guess what? Miss Prim n’ Proper will always be recognized for her impeccable looks. Very few even care that she dons synthetic wigs. They look that good.
When we were blossoming ladies in Arizona, we once took turns winning Miss “SCH” four years running. Five years later, her medical hair loss reared its head and her hair wouldn’t be the same. I hinted about some invisible lace wigs. Whatever, she just shaved her head. Even on bad days she aggressively unveiled her innate beauty.
Obliged to show at the school’s homecoming, we flirted with the crowd until someone clumsily kicked the puck (or whatever you call it) into the stands. She jumped up for it when her bandana flew right off, revealing her shiny head. Like nothing happened, she walked over and delivered it into the goal. That’s so her!
However, it eventually got to her. Not too long after she invited me over for a mid-day lemonade chat, when she grabbed my arm and told me that she prefers to do without hair all together, out of bitterness no less. She loved her old hair so much she can’t even look at well crafted lace front wigs, though she would wear them. She then miss invincible turned flush red and demanded that I can’t mention it again. I thought “oh, well.”
I thought about it all night. Shortly after, I talked about getting her a new wig. After a long deliberation the two of us arrived at the obvious conclusion: we’ll think of human hair wigs as fashion, and we love fashion. One for me and one for her.
We had a ball wig shopping, flabbergasted by the fashionable styles. She never imagined that lace front wigs were vital to fashion for people, even superstars. These lace front wigs made her so lovely. Personally, I put together a delightfully fresh ensemble around my synthetic wig. Its become an inside joke, if you haven’t heard. Last Christmas she gave me a photo of us in our wigs and thanked me for giving her back her hair, and confessed it fosters a new attitude that she’d forgotten. It’s touching to witness my best friend float about as light as a feather. She’s a better person, with the same confidence.
