Need Advice on hair

[Martha G]

I can use all the help I can since I am bald with just a little gray fringe.

I want to have a variety of wigs so that I can look very attractive and continue to make a very passable woman.

i personally like wigs as they are easy, comb them out before putting them on, flop them on, fluff and go.

Does anyone else experience the rush of donning a wig? Let me explain. Before I met my wife I lived alone and could dress whenever I felt like it. I would be sitting at my dressing table putting my makeup on and it never felt like Michelle looking back at me. Due to the uniform regulations of my job then I cut my hair to a short back and sides. It wasn't until I put my wig on, a blonde shoulder length one that I felt complete and saw Michelle looking back at me.

Michelle, I know exactly what you mean about putting on a wig.

For me I'm folically challenged as a male. Before I was getting to a point of buying and wearing cosmetics, back in the 90's I'd dress in various women's clothes and heels. I'd look at myself in a mirror and see a rather typically looking, slim, fairly tall, white male in women's clothing. It was still exciting but it lacked that spark of total femininity. I had to imagine the complete look of myself.

As I began buying makeup I'd see how that helped but I was now a guy wearing makeup in women's clothes. Oh don't get me wrong it was still fun dressing and interesting to play with makeup in my early cosmetics days as ham fisted as I was with cosmetics, but I was still not seeing a lady when looking in a mirror or playing with my home camcorder.

It was when I finally grew the courage to buy a wig. I went to a local wig shop. The lady let me come in after hours to be more private. It was winter time and I got there in the evening and saw she was still finishing with a lady. I chose to wait in my car and watch as the last customer left. My heart was pounding with excitement and fear as I walked up to and inside her shop. We greeted each other and she was polite and professional putting me at ease. She told me that she has helped other crossdressers and that made me feel better.

She asked about any type or style of wig I wanted? I was sort of at a loss, I said probably close to my brownish hair colour and not too long as it's harder to up keep from all I knew. She brought a few out and with me in a chair she slipped each on and let me look at a mirror. She found one that was shoulder length, full in style and had longish loose curls. Once on, I knew it was for me. I told her that I sort of looked like my sister as she had a similar hairstyle at the time but longer hair. The lady at the shop said she felt it looked right for me too and soon I was paying for it. She said she wanted to make a few styling adjustments and I could pick it up in a couple of days. They were TWO long days of waiting for me.

Once I got it and had my first opportunity to dress, do makeup and I was getting better at such to then putting on my first wig, well I went from a guy dressed very feminine in a blouse, skirt, hose and heels with my face in makeup to TA DA! a lady. It was amazing how that wig transformed me into looking very much like a lady. I was totally thrilled and enjoyed my first dressing session with a wig and makeup on at the same time. I set up my home camcorder and made a video of me strutting around showing off my outfit and high heels and then sitting and just talking to the camera about how I felt. I still have the video today (I recorded it Feb. 1999). It's cool to dust it off and watch it some times.

Today when dressing and I am able to do a pretty good make up job, not as good as could if I dressed more as I do seem to fall a bit out of practice But the wig I choose to put on (I now have three) is like a magical transformation. To my eyes I become a lady and feel so good like hugging a
