Us Scottsdale Girls: Beating My Friend’s Alopecia with Synthetic Wigs
My mother and I never imagined the breathtakingly human Amelia Upton, my high school BFF, would wear lace front wigs. Her iconic hair added so much to her mystique. But surprise surprise. Miss Prim n’ Proper continues to be celebrated because of her style. Very few know she utilizes synthetic lace wigs. They look that good.
Back in the day as young girls in our home town of Scottsdale, we used to swept all the beauty pageants. In our twenties her hair loss reared its head and she went bald. I recommended a few synthetic wigs. Oh well, it didn’t matter much. Unfazed by medical hair loss, she proudly showcased her attitude.
Obliged to show at the school’s roller hockey tournament, we flirted with the crowd till her loverboy accidentally flung the ball (or however you say it) at us. Such a sport, she reached out for the thing when her hand-knitted “head sweater” (her idea) jumped from her head, revealing her thinning hair. Undisturbed, she tossed the ball to the game official. What’d I tell ya about her spunk?
That said, nobody is perfect. The same summer she invited me over for a mid-day lemonade chat, the day she very sincerely revealed that she prefers to go bald as a statement. She missed her natural hair too much to think about women’s medical wigs, even if she wanted one. At that disclosure, our fearless protagonist changed the subject and requested that I dismiss the notion. I didn’t know what to say.
I couldn’t drop it. Later on, I talked about settling the wig issue. Finally we ended up with an agreement: we’d buy each other wigs We have a knack for making online wig shopping fun.
Not sure who was more floored by the options. We didn’t realize that lace front wigs were this fashionable for beautiful people and famous actors. These wigs for women’s hair loss were exactly what she needed. As for me, put together a completely creative set of outfits to go with my wig. Out of solidarity, you know. Not long ago she sent me her thanks for reintroducing, and said it brought about a feminine mystique in her life. It’s a relief to realize my best friend float about as light as a feather. Can’t wait to see that infamous “toss ‘n turn” again.
