Wig or not to Wig .... That is the Question

Last Friday I had my mind set on purchasing a wig. I already kind of knew what I wanted the wig to look like and I must admit I was a little excited. The reason I wanted the wig was for a little diversity in my hair options. Right now I'm limited to the fro and the lil twisties. I was tired of both of those styles.

I go to the Wig Emporium... which is a huge wig warehouse. There were hundreds of wigs everywhere. There were long wigs, short wigs, curly wigs, straight wigs, nappy wigs, lace front wigs. It was almost product over load.

I looked and I looked and finally decided on two wigs I could possibly live with. The lady sat me down put a wig cap on my head and placed the wig around my skull. I looked in the mirror and felt fake. Plus the wig was super tight on my head felt like my scalp was being smothered slowly.

I kept looking and looking at myself in the mirror and did not feel like the wig was me. I have gotten so accustomed to wearing my authentic hair that wearing a wig felt foreign.

I was actually shocked I felt that way giving the fact that I used to be the wig and weave queen. Not to mention I longed to have long hair once I cut off my locks.
I kind of felt good about it. I snatched the wig off my head and told the lady no thanks.

Im against wigs maybe I can do braids.
