Remember the innocence of the early summer, when the new wig was dubbed Sexytown and replaced Beachy Hitler and I had not yet been possessed by the pelvic demons or been cursed by a bladder infection for my sins?
That wig was on sale recently, and I decided to buy a backup, for when Sexytown the Elder would not be up to task and retire.
I forgot the warnings that wavy wigs will not reliably look the same, because your wig seamstress just grabs a hunk of hair that may not curl the expected way.
Whoever let this incarnation pass QA must have been a fan of 1960s TV and Angie Dickinson.
... Yeah, that is different from the other Samarra in brown. But also, yes, curly hair does some weird stuff sometimes, so there is that.
Good luck with your adventures in wigging out!

I like it.

KC - But the thing is, curly hair does some weird stuff sometimes -- but curly wigs do the weird stuff ALL the time.
Allison - I might learn to like it. It will take a while.

Mm, yes, there is no regular-shower-reset. (although, honestly, some curly hair does the weird stuff pretty nearly all the time; I have friends with maddening cowlicks that their haircuts have to very strategically take into account)
What are the curly-hair-taming/calming things you can do with wigs? Are there any aside from trimming and aggressive heat-treating?

KC - it's simple. You wad up the stuff you don't like into a pin-curl, then flop the good "hair" on top of it.
