I used to go to a hair stylist a few years ago.
I did enjoy sitting in a chair and letting some
one else pamper me. The joy faded when walk
in clients delayed my getting home at a decent
time.Then I began to have allergic reactions to
the products my stylist was using. I eventually
had enough of these ordeals and stopped going.
The other problem was,I had pain in each of my
shoulders due to bursitis and an old injury from
an auto accident.Some days I was able to wash
my hair in the shower and other days, "not so
much."
Eureka! The answer was to buy a wig to wear
on those day that my shoulders were flared up.
I did remember that plenty of the stylists at the
beauty salon even wore wigs on "bad hair days". These ladies looked good and it was not obvious
that they were wearing wigs. I learned that some women also wore wigs when they needed to treat
hair and scalp issues. The needed to take a break from curling irons,flat irons,perms,hair extensions, and braiding.
There are pros and cons that you must learn when buying wigs. Quality wigs can be purchased from
$30-$300. The price can be based on whether the wig is made from synthetic hair or human hair.The length of the hair and a unique hair color pattern (ombre, streaked, mixed strands, etc) can affect
the price too.Of course, the wigs endorsed or sold
by famous celebrities can raise the price a lot.
Wigs can be sized in small, medium, average, or large. I make sure the wig hair is natural looking
and not too shiny. The wig cap that the wig hair
is sewn on is important. Some wig caps have an
honey comb design which allows your scalp to breathe in the summer months. I always make
sure that my short or pixie wigs have extended
necklines so my own hair will not show. Combs
and adjustable straps come on some wigs.Make
sure you do your homework about the "return
policy" before buying a wig online. A problem
with buying a wig at a retail store is, the law
in most states doesn't allow returns on wigs.
I'm glad all of the stores make you use a wig
cap when you try on wigs. Carry a friend with
you when you are wig shopping. You can get
an honest opinion on whether the wig looks
good on you or not. I try to be wise when I
must shop alone for my wigs. I check to see
what hair styles look good on my face shape
and wheter the wig makes me look younger
or older. I have read that senior women look
younger when they wear short or pixie wigs.
I hope these tips are helpful when you go to
buy your first wig.
Here are some videos that should help you buy
when you purchase a wig:
FACE SHAPES
I have always heard that older women look
betterwith short hair. I was convinced when
I was looking at a game show and a senior
lady was among the contestants.She had a
pixie haircut that made her look like she was
in her 50's. It was her birthday and she told
the host, "I am 75 years old today!" He said,
"No way." I was also thinking,"No way!"There
was a new lady that started coming to our
senior center.She had thin long salt & pepper
long hair. Two weeks later, she came in with
a very short hair cut. She cut her hair to give
to a foundation that makes wigs for women
with cancer. She looked to be at least 15 or
20 years younger. She got compliments all
day long.
Here are two examples from a Pinterest web
site that shows that a short haircut can make
a woman look younger:

Pretty lady with short haircut
The wigs featured below have short or pixie hair
cuts.I bought some of these wigs.The others are
some I hope to buy in the future.I buy wigs that
dark auburn or dark burgundy. I'm showing you
wigs in several hair colors so you can figure how
these shades may look on you.
