Begin Again

Flash forward about 25 years.

So I had a hair melt down, and at my husband’s suggestion, I decided that I would try wearing a wig. But where to begin?

Well, in this age of massive knowledge right at our fingertips, I went to the web and started my search. Granted, I knew nothing at this point. After all, the world of wigs had changed quite a bit in 25 years. It was like starting all over again.

The first site that popped up in my search was Paula Young. I remembered that name. The two wigs I had purchased 25 years back were that very same brand. Okay. Let’s take a look and see what we can find!

After a couple of hours going through their on-line catalog, I made a choice. The wig was called Jazz. The maker was Jon Renau. A short shag with playful flipped out layers. Now that sounded like a hairstyle I would wear!

The model in the photo made the wig look like it was cute and perky. From the little squares shown for color choices, I picked out the color 10/22TT, whatever that meant. The desciption of the color was light brown and natural blond blend. All I knew was that it looked like it might be close to the color of the hair remaining on my head.

This one was it! I filled in all the necessary information, checked all pertinent boxes and hit the submit button. Now, all I had to do was wait.
