TESTIMONIALS

It is true that a woman’s hair is her “glory.”  When the moment comes and you start losing your hair, something within you realizes that there is something not quite right about you.  Your whole body notices that your hair is missing.  Clothes don’t fit right.  Makeup looks funny to you in the mirror because of the missing of your hair.  You start trying to make the adjustment to the hair lost with weaves.  Weaves are beautiful until you have to have them to compensate for the missing hair.  When you can no longer wear weaves, you try to find wigs that make you look like you use to when you had your own hair.

          My experience with losing my hair on the top and around the sides has had an effect on my whole being.  For several years I wore a weave on the top of my head.  I had hair in the back which grew very long.  The hair in the back began to look strange with the weave so I went to a total weave.  My beautician put weaves in time after time, until there was no hair left.  She finally told me that she could no longer put a weave in because of the balding on the top of my head; along with missing hair along the sides.  In other words, there was no hair for her to sew the weave.

          It was 2014 when my wearing wigs began.  Not to be able to wear my own hair, even with a weave, has caused me to be very sensitive in regards to hair.  I’m super self-conscious of how I look.  When people say to me, oh I like “that.”  You look good with “that.” Windy weather causes me to have a devastating feeling in fear of losing my wig.  I’ve tried to find wigs that made me look like I use to look when I had hair.  I looked at old photographs of myself to try to find wigs that gave me that look of yesterday.  I have ordered all kinds of wigs, searching for the right color and style.  For some reason, I began to relax somewhat relative to my hair problem when I could wear a weave.  At least I somehow felt a little better about my glory when I could wear a weave.  But, upon the start of my wig wearing days, I became very sensitive and silent about my hair.  My very friends and family still think I am wearing weaves because they do not see me every day.  People I see on my job, regularly, knew I was wearing wigs. My only daughter has no idea of my bald situation and having to wear wigs.  I am very careful around my close family members so they will not know that I am wearing a wig.  They always compliment me on what they think is a weave.

          One Saturday evening, I decided that I was going to search for a lace wig.  Someone had told me that since I had the balding on the top of my head, a lace wig would not work for me.  I was determined to try a lace wig. I set out on the internet and began to hunt for a lace wig; looking at different wig companies.  During my search, I wanted to know how to fit the lace wig to my head and understand how to cut the lace. I searched through YouTube videos that showed how to wear a lace wig.  I was shocked that I could wear a lace wig.  As I continued to search, I viewed several YouTube videos that showed women who had the same problem I was facing; alopecia and thinning hair on the top.  I must have been searching for hours that Saturday evening when I stumbled upon this YouTube video with a woman that had a voice that penetrated my heart and soul.  She talked about the soft skull cap to enable women with balding issues to wear weaves.  I rushed to her website and there I met, God’s gift to women like me, Dana Cumberland Hueston!  I immediately reached out to her through a phone call. I thank God she was in traveling distance from me. The rest is history.

The first night after getting the soft skull cap to enable me to wear a weave, again, I thought I was “me” again, with hair.  I slept so hard and my head was so light on my pillow like days of old.  With my soft skull cap and beautiful weave, I felt alive inside.  Wearing your own hair, even if it’s just in the back and a sprig or two on top and along the sides has helped me to feel so natural, normal and good all over; inside and out.  I don’t feel like I’m carrying something around on my head that is false even though there is weaved hair all over.  It’s like a burden has been lifted and now I am finally free again to be “me.”  I smiled so much the first day after receiving the soft skull cap because of the happiness that has been returned to me that I have been missing since 2014. 

          I truly thank God for Dana’s true gift, the invention of the soft skull cap for women facing hair issue like mine. This soft skull cap has enabled me to wear a weave again; thereby giving me that feeling that I have longed for. My “glory” has returned, with the help of Dana’s invention, along with the phenomenal feeling that women have about their hair. God has blessed Dana with a gift that only God could have given, for such a time as this in my life; right now.  My position has me traveling extensively and I need to feel good about me and have no hair worries.  I thank God that my hair worries have come to a complete halt; due to the soft skull cap for hair restoration.
