Wigs

Okay – as Deborah suggested (and don’t worry both my friend Al and I both thought of this too), we brought cameras with us wig shopping.
First thing I’ll note, it’s much easier going wig shopping with a friend, especially one that makes you laugh.
Second, does anyone else but me get freaked out by all those bald heads with hair perched atop?

They were everywhere, just staring at us.

First, she sat me in a salon chair (you know the type) and then she put this hairnet thing on my head (the wigs apparently would slide around my head). Jealous yet?

Then she put on this jet black wig on (you have to use your imagination with the color – just concentrate on the style), which I actually liked – it was pretty short.

Here’s a good shot – I think it looked pretty good (forget the color).

Then we had to talk color. I wanted something that had a bit of salt and pepper but most of the samples were more salt than pepper.

While doing that, Al noticed a wig that sort of had a “choppy” look to it, which she liked but before we got that one, Diana (the wig specialist) grabbed another. What do you think?

So we went back to the one Al saw, which they happened to have in the color we liked (I think it was chocolate brown).

One more shot (oh, and I’m not wearing the hairnet here b/c we had taken it off to compare hair colors, so you see some of my hair peaking through).

In the end, we went with that one (right above). It’s a bit longer than the first, felt a bit more comfortable, they had it in stock and I’ll be able to “do more” with it when it comes time for the bat mitzvah. It’s also synthetic, not real hair but looks real good. I’m happy with it.
But here’s the best picture of the wig.
