23. Smile for the camera...

Yesterday wasn’t a day too soon. Today my hair is slipping out in strands. There’s hair everywhere. Fortunately, my lashes and brows are safe for now.

So here goes. T, the Macmillan hair loss specialist, had a wide range of wigs and a lot of expertise - but stocks were low. Emma sat and took notes while T and I pulled on the wigs and considered the style, regardless of colour - not an easy task. Hairdressers’ mirrors are never flattering. This one excelled in that department!

1. The Dennis The Menace look (meant to look fluffy like my current style but synthetic hair doesn’t fluff well)


No thank you. Not even in white.

2. Sorely tempted. I did like the high and lowlights, even the asymmetric cut was fine. The downside was it would scream WIG to anyone who knows me (so what?), the bigger downside is that I might like it too much and end up back in my old ways of spending time and money on hair upkeep. Nah. I prefer my simple approach now.



3. Final choice. Perfect colour. Style fine, maybe a bit short over the ears but I can brush it forward over my face, which is how I like it. Most people won’t even notice I’ve moved over to a wig. The big question is will I get used to wearing it or will it be easier just to wear my beanies?
