Synthetic Wigs for an Attitude Adjustment
Our group of friends never thought the beautiful and confident Colleen Dreskell, our family friend, could ever accessorize with medical wigs. Her iconic hair styles added so much to her attitude. Have you seen her lately? Our favorite gal is still known because of her trademark toss ‘n turn. Not many in town even care that she wears synthetic lace wigs. It’s not so unusual.
As youths finding our way in the hill country, we always stole the spotlights to every dance. Then her hair loss took effect and her hair thinned spottily. I mentioned some lace front wigs. Whatever, it didn’t matter much. The incredible woman aggressively unveiled her innate beauty.
Appearing at her boyfriend Jacob’s rugby game, we taunted the players till someone retardedly launched the sphere (or whatever you call it) into the bleachers. She jumped up for it and her hand-knitted “head sweater” (her idea) fell off, unveiling her hair (or lack thereof). As though nothing were amiss, she tossed the ball back to the field. What’d I tell ya about her spunk?
But, nobody is perfect. Months later at our semi-monhtly stroll to the art gallery, the day she sat me down and confided that she prefers to go bald out of bitterness. She loved her old hair so much she can’t even look at women’s medical wigs, even if she wanted one. And who would have thought she grew embarrassed and requested that I it was silly. I thought “oh, well.”
I couldn’t drop it. Later on, I asked her about going shopping with me for a new lace front wig. Finally we both came to the perfect solution: we were going wig shopping! So I’m getting one too!
We had a ball wig shopping, stunned by the wide selection of hair colors, textures and styles. She never knew that synthetic wigs could be this fashionable for a lot of people. These wigs were marvelous. I coordinated an entirely new ensemble to go with my wig. Out of solidarity, and that will surely endure. Recently she gave me a photo of us in our wigs and thanked me for giving her back her hair, and confessed it invites a fresh spirit in her life. It’s heartwarming to have helped my best friend float about as light as a feather. And she’s still got the attitude.
