Quote from: LoriDee on April 13, 2024, 11:35:16 AMThe hair is dyed to match the topper. What helped me is I found a color that is dangerously close to my own, so the color change was not dramatic. Depending on your skin color, you could go with a gray-blonde mix. I tried a wig that was close to my old natural color (dark brown) and didn't like it. Going lighter makes me look younger even though I still show some "silver". By holding the color swatches up next to your face (in good lighting), you can get an idea of how it will look. Since she sells wigs at her salon, she had a few that I could try. None were the exact color, but it gave me a chance to compare dark vs light, blonde vs gray, red vs brown, etc.
Take your time. She can advise on color and cut. Make sure she understands the look you are going for. Then have fun! I'll be anxious to learn how it went.
Hugs!
This is what my wife and I assumed. So in anticipation of the visit I'm probably going to try to see if we can see if we can find a color that works for us. I know this is going to be one of the really jarring things for her... and since the color really doesn't matter that much to me — the existence of hair is much more important — I'm really keen on picking something she likes.

Funny story related to her being comfortable with things, from lunch today:
We were having our weekly Saturday Pho lunch. About a month ago I finally took off the training wheels and went full spoon and chopsticks, no more fork (I use chopsticks for sushi all the time — but soup is another level), and this week she did the same.
She said "I'm nothing if I'm not flexible!" And I agreed. I said "Yeah, it's been a big year for you... chopsticks with your Pho, you're drinking green tea now, I've got you to eat potatoes (she is Irish but has HATED potatoes her whole life... now I have found a few limited preparations she kinda likes)... so yeah, you've really accepted a lot of changes."
Big pause.
"Um... among other things, I guess."
And we both laughed.

Oh and lastly, on our way home from lunch, as we were walking into the house, she said something that only in this context is a compliment:
"Oh hey, you know what? I do think you butt looks bigger! I need to see it naked to confirm but I'm pretty sure."
