Wigged Out Details

[susandennis]

waning_estrogen specfically requested details - the Japanese English instructions... So for her and for posterity:

Washing: Filled up the bathroom sink with hot water and a pea of shampoo. Swished the wig around it in and then drained the sink. Ran hot water over the wig until all the soap was gone. Balled up a corner of the towel and stuck it inside the wig and then rolled the rest of the towel around it and squzed (squozed?). Then I stuck my fingers into the holes in the crown (so it wouldn't fall off my hand) and shook it over the bathtub like a wet dog. Then I put it on the bottle and waited until it was dry.

Here it is over the bottle looking into the cap of it:



Looking straight on:



I turned it inside out and this is what it looks like from the crown to the neck:





Now that same wig on our super model:

so that's what you look like without your head...

have you ever wondered what experiences your hair has had before coming to live with you? is natural or synthetic better? I would think synthetic would be... my son, Seth, used to sell his hair, he could grow it so fast... not me, nobody would want mine... thinking about it... at one time, I did have long flowing blonde hair that on occasion someone would ask to touch it... really... but that was a long time ago... I know that folks who know me now would say, "in a different life" or "in your dreams" now I've got that "hair slipping off my head to grow on my ears kinda stuff... and talk about scruffy... this beard... or wannabe beard...

Peace

Those directions are so funny! Thanks for posting.

Easy to wash and dry, eh. I really should get some. I want one or two or three.

I really, really like your new default picture: the one labelled 'new wig'. Not so much for the nice looking wig --- which does look very nice --- as for the self-satisfied smile on your face. You look happy and pleased; congrats!

Thank you so much. You know, it's funny but I did take that picture for the wig but I really liked it instantly and didn't know why. Your comment nailed what had eluded me. Funny how the expression makes all the difference. And, yeah, if you can't tell, this whole wig thing is just such a huge deal. You gotta wonder why my crappy hair caused all the angst and why it took me so long to find a fix. But I am so pleased.
