First wig week down...many to go

Well, I have made it thru my work week with my first wig. It is better today than it has been the past couple days. It was more itchy for a little while there, but today has started off good.

Buzzing my hair and my first work day as the new me!

Well today is my second consult for a wig, hopefully she has more styles/colors that fit me and that I like. I am hoping to walk out today with my new do but will be ok if I have to wait(but only a little longer). I also found a wig shop that is down the street from the salon that I am going to that carries the brand of wigs that I like from the styles I see online, Rene of Paris.
