Well it had to
happen again soon, it was inevitable. After years of bleaching, dying and
partly shaving my hair, it had officially died a horrible death; different
lengths of black straw and huge ginger roots. I'd buggered it and there was
really no way back. The clippers were lying around from shaving my partners
hair, and I thought, "fuck it I've shaved
it all off before, I'll do it again." I'd had a chelsea haircut for
a few years whilst in college and loved how low maintenance it was. The only
difference now being, I'm a lot more lady like (paha, at least in my appearance
I am) and back then I was all about the rough punk/skinhead look. And so, armed
with a thin scraggly fringe and a very cold scalp, I embarked on a wig hunt.
I've followed a
company on Instagram, Geisha Wigs, for ages and I've always admired them. Their
huge selection of styles/colours and at an unbelievably reasonable price tag
(It seemed most were around the £20 mark) really made them stand out for me;
but for some reason, I'd never even considered wearing wigs before. Instead I'd
spend hours, days and weeks getting my hair the colour I wanted, then load it
with extensions. I should've got on with it a lot sooner and built up a
collection from Geisha Wigs, because as of recently the owner has decided to
close down business. I checked out their closing sale and stumbled across this
little beauty; 'Sunrise'. A gorgeous, long, ginger wig.
I couldn't believe
the quality. It's thick and bouncy and so smooth. I bought it with the intent to
restyle and cut. This is how it looked straight from packet.
I fell in love and felt like a princess. I
could've been an extra in Sleeping Beauty and wouldn't of been out of place.
But it was too much for me. I felt it needed to be shorter and have some thick Betty bangs. This is the end result.
Absolutely perfect.
My natural hair isn't at all far from this colour and I dream that one day my
own hair will be this luscious. But for now, I need to search for another
company that sells amazing wigs (or trawl through eBay for Geisha Wigs
products) and build up my locks collection!
Can anyone recommend
any companies or shops? What are your favourite wigs?
