This is the second of the three wigs I’ve bought in my lifetime thus far; each cost no more than $20. The first had to be thrown away for looking like a jerrycurl gone wrong – you get what you pay for. This one was intended to be an easy wear-and-go coverup, but quickly ended up becoming a crutch. I’ve written about my fraught dance with hair, and will return at some point address my foray into the fake.
