Wig Night
Taking Steps
Recently I was having my hair cut. Jennifer has been cutting my hair for 10 years now and as you likely know you develop a real friendship in that situation. A couple of months ago I decided to tell her about Kim. This was mostly a test of “what would a fringe friend say” and well it was all super cool.
Before Christmas I was telling her about these two wigs that I have some trouble with. One is the classic wig from 2014 that I used the wrong hairspray on and basically gunked I up. The other is the wig I purchased last summer but I have never liked how it has looked on my face. As you know when you make the investment in these wigs you want them to work.
Today I took my wigs in and let Jennifer do her thing. My long hair wig just needed some ends trimmed off and that went real well. We then jumped to the 2014 classic Kim look wig and she was able to do so styling and trimming and I think there is some new life in that one so I am very very happy.
The newest wig, well she could tell why I liked it so much and why I was so upset with it. After being hesitant to do anything to it (she kept saying “you know it doesn’t grow back”) we decided to do some thinning to the sides so that it won’t fall so easily in my face. Then it was just some playing and massaging of the hair until we agreed on a new part for the wig. Maybe the highlight of the night was my lesson on using bobby pins. This was excellent and shall require some more practice by me.
What you see here are a couple of shots in the salon – Jennifer was having maybe more fun than me and said more than once “it was like having her own Barbie doll to play with” and a couple of shots at home with the newly styled wig.
It is these normal regular moments of being out that just a few years ago I would never have thought I could have possibly had. But here I am. In a chair. In a salon. With three wigs being styled. Talking. Getting a bobby pin lesson. And just having some special moments.
If I can, so can you
