A touching story of a cancer patient who cuts off her lengthy tresses before facing chemo just to wear them again as a wig.
When life throws a challenge at us, we don’t turn away. We hold our heads high and keep going no matter what. This is exactly what happens with a client whose life story gets the hair community all emotional.
“Today was a beautiful and emotional journey as I created a custom wig for my amazing patient using her own hair. It’s a powerful reminder of strength and resilience, especially as she prepares to face chemo,” the Orlando-based wig store Postiche shares the details on its Instagram page.
As the client sits in the hairdresser’s chair, she can barely hold back her tears. Knowing that she’ll lose her hair during chemo anyway, she decides to cut it off now and opts for a shorter length. After a thorough consultation with a stylist, the woman goes for a chin-length bob.
The hair pro creates a sleek, side-swept look to accentuate her client’s oval face shape and enhance the hair’s naturally straight texture. The woman’s smile at the end says it all!
While most hair salons get rid of leftover strands, wig showrooms and stores may keep them for a very special purpose. They transform human hair into hand-crafted wigs that offer a realistic appearance and maximum styling versatility.
This option comes in handy for alopecia patients and those who lost their hair due to medical conditions. So, when a new client orders a wig from her own tresses, the hair specialists work their magic to enhance the woman’s natural beauty and uplift her spirit in these difficult times. The final product is impossible to distinguish from real hair as it matches the client’s original tone perfectly.
The hair fans are touched by the heart-warming story and actively share their words of praise and support. “Amazing work! There’s nothing better than making someone smile during such a challenging ordeal. God bless you,” one comment says. “What an amazing gift you have! Not only making the wig (which was incredible) but also the compassion and support you gave her through the whole process! Truly you are a blessing,” another comment suggests.
We at The Right Hairstyles believe in the healing power of transformation, even though it’s a rather dramatic change. The most important thing is how you feel afterward. And remember, if you’re going through hard times, you’re not alone in your fight.
