Chemo chic with or without a wig!

What a great theme this is. Found it in The Times today and feel very humbled by Jessica's bravery. My sister died of breast cancer eight years ago and that is part of the reason I set up www.wearmyhair.com. One of the problems Annette had was the hideous wig the NHS provided.

At such a difficult time, it must be up to every individual whether they choose to wear a wig, wear nothing, as did Jade much of the time, or wear any or all of the gorgeous and glam scarves and turbans available. At wear my hair, I am trying to help those who prefer to wear a wig, by providing a good range of wigs for £65 as a rule, but also the option to custom choose and have a bespoke wig delivered in 2-3 weeks only! I buy direct from the manufacturers so there is no middle man and I offer men's wigs, women's wigs & children's wigs, as well as hairpieces & extensions.

In recent posts I have been encouraging those who do wear wigs, to glam them up, as if they needed it, with ribbons, clips and all sorts. It all adds to the fun and whether it is cancer or alopecia, or any other reason, boosted fun and a greater sense of recovery is all important through difficult times.

Accessorize your wig revisited!

Hi again, been having loads of fun with ribbons recently. Wearing a new wig, a little short wig called Grace, I decided, again because the front bits tend to get in my face, to tie them back with little thin ribbons. It really is great to wear a wig and accessorize it. It makes any and all wigs & hairpieces look exactly like real hair as putting things in hair is part of make-up and jewellery in a way.

If you buy a really long wig, you can carry off the most excellent up-do as you simply leave the back of it hanging fairly low so that the weft remains hidden under the hair. I will show you that wig trick another time. Here's some pickies in case you want to try it yourself!

A curly wig for a change!

Yes, I break the habit of a lifetime in this business but I have to concede that there really are people out there that actually want curly hair. Actually, this wig, named Cassie, is available because a customer had a specific request and so I got it for her.

Generally speaking, we are in the business of straight hair, straight hair wigs as just about the entire world is straightening their hair of even the slightest flick or wave. It seems almost every year that the fashion pundits tell us that curly hair is back in fashion, but no-one takes any notice and the curly extravaganzas remain confined to the glossy mags and centrefolds.

Anyway, who knows, maybe we will be deluged with orders for curly wigs from now on!
