From Hiding Under Hats to Rediscovering My Confidence
Hair is one of those things you don’t fully appreciate until it is gone. The reflection I saw in the mirror didn't match the image of myself I held in my mind; each gaze caused me pain and seemed to age me.
Initially, I tried cheap synthetic wigs from the internet with varying degrees of success. Most were ill-fitting or badly styled, looking nothing like the immaculate images in the adverts. The few I liked rarely lasted more than a month—they were quickly destroyed by friction against my clothing or the constant untangling required. The final straw was the inability to find identical replacements for the styles that actually worked.
I decided to research professional suppliers and found Betty Brown’s Wigs. I was nervous when I jumped on the train to York, but I needn't have been. I was immediately put at ease by the professional and friendly service. Being able to try on a huge selection in-store and receive advice on styles and lengths made all the difference. I finally chose a human hair wig to be styled exactly as I wished.
Words fail me in describing the difference this made to my life. I started receiving compliments—a pleasant new experience! At first, I told people it was a wig, and they were amazed because they truly couldn’t tell. Eventually, I stopped telling them. I reasoned it wasn't a lie; after all, it was my hair, and I had the receipt to prove it!
A Worthwhile Investment
My human hair wigs have been a great investment, lasting far longer than the synthetic ones. I now alternate between two identical pieces so they can be washed and dried without hurry. They have lasted so well that I’ve even had them restyled into a shorter look for a change!
My confidence has never been higher. Now when I go out, I worry about normal things—like if my make-up has smudged. It is so wonderful never having to worry about my hair again.
