The Hair I Always Wanted to Have

I have always wanted a cute bobbed haircut with hair that fell just right. Instead, my hair has some natural wave that on humid days is just truly frightful. I was never able to achieve that cute bob. Joe, in the meanwhile, has always wanted to see my hair in a real henna red. For most of the 15+ years I colored my hair, I had a reddish tint to it. But I never was brave enough to go truly red.

Well, no more. I *bought* the hair that will make me, and my husband happy.

Introducing, two wigs that join my collection of hats to be used for chemo.

Wig #1 is a bob without bangs. It has some black hair mixed in with the henna red:











Wig #2 is a bob with bangs and a cute fringe of hair on my neck. It is henna red:

Does it look like real hair? Not really. But for $25 a wig, what do you expect? I bought them to be fun and silly on days that I want to have hair. I figured this is the best time to get the cut and color I always wanted. Wig #2 makes me feel like a Super Hero, and we all need a little of that in our lives.

Just don't tell me I look like a drag queen or I'll give you a Super Wedgie.
