Human Wigs

Ok, so envision my trepidation when I walked into PAX last week and was assaulted on method in front of employees and prospects by the chef (ahead of even finding the likelihood to order my sandwich) who boldly asked, "Is that all yours?" At first I wondered what he was referring to and whether or not he was even speaking to me, but then I realized his eyes were fixated on my hair - Well, my Yaki Full Lace Wig that is. Shocked, I then identified myself unconsciously stroking my bouncy mane of F427 streaked, curly tendrils although I fished for the ideal answer. I mean, how does one genuinely answer that question? Technically, it can be all mine considering the fact that I paid for it and soon after all it can be becoming worn on MY head, but does it truly develop out of my scalp? hmmmm, No. So, do I inform him the truth? If I say "yes", it would only be a little bit white lie, but I am genuinely not one for lying, and what if he ironically (with my sort of luck) bumps into me next week when I'm wearing my personal organic mane that is certainly the color 1B, and a lot much less shorter and significantly less thicker? I decided to go with the truth, so I answered "No, it's not". His eyes opened in amazement as even though saying "No way!!" and I speedily tried to alter the topic by attempting to order my sandwich. He then said "You appear like you ought to be around the cover of a magazine". Relieved by his seemingly non-disappointment or disapproval in my option of fake hair, I smiled and mentioned "thank you", paid and left.

That whole incident had me thinking. To begin with, I under no circumstances would have expected a query like that to come from a man and one who doesn't even know me at that. Why would he care about irrespective of whether my hair is genuine or not? But then I remembered all the boyfriends I've had who have been obsessed with my hair for some explanation. They all dreaded my hair wigs and weaves and hated the idea that I even liked to put on extensions. A single of them said to me, "It makes me think, what else is fake?". After ditching my wig for any relaxer and bone straight coif, another even said to me, within the most relieved tone, "I believed you didn't have any hair". I mean genuinely?? Is is that really serious??

I will admit, I used to become one of these girls who swore up and down that I'd never wear a weave much much less a wig! "That's for the ghetto girls!" I would say. Probably the most I was prepared to accomplish still, was put on a "piece" and that was it! All that changed when I participated inside the Miss World pageant in 2004. That was my 1st exposure towards the true globe of extensions. Each of the contestants had been wearing it. I, with the exception of only a handful had been the only ones who were not flaunting a full head of long flowing "pageant hair". So when I was told that I'd be going towards the Miss Universe Pageant the following year, my pageant director and I decided to step our game up. He contacted Clem Lue Yat, a master hair weaver in New York to upgrade my hair for the pageant and that is when I was introduced to fusion hair. That is the addition of tiny strands of hair to your own hair by means of the usage of the "fusion method" frequently glue or micro cylinders. I couldn't think the outcomes. I could wash, style, color and cut my hair as I ordinarily would, devoid of even the slightest detection. The hair moved and looked just like my personal.
