Celebrity Wigs..Look A Star!

Are you going to do the same thing this year that you did last year?  Are you really going to wait till the last possible moment then rush to the closest “Open 24hrs” store?  Come on, get with it.  You can be stylish, sexy and hot this year.  And not break your ever tightening budget.

What am I going on about?  Well, Halloween of course!  The day is getting closer.  The kids haven’t said it yet (well some of them) but I bet they have an idea of who they want to be.  I say, stay away from your over-priced, understocked Anon-Mart and check out some online stores this year.  Save gas, save time, be green, whatever the excuse…it’s just easier and better quality for less money!

There’s no need to not participate or have fun because you’re not able to spend a couple of hundred bucks to rent a theatrical costume. I’m going to tell you about my favorite place on the internet for costume supplies. They do other party items, even mascot costumes, but I luv them for Halloween.

Is your daughter going to be Pocohantas in the Fall Festival/Thanksgiving play? Oh, and YOU have to make the costume? Stressed? I know I was at the time. The school was no help whatsoever. $30 bucks for a wig at the AnonMart. Then a friend said “have you checked buycostumes?” and I was set.

My card was smoking I ordered so fast. At that price I started poking around and found me the following little beauty.

The company I now work for is big for whooping it up for every holiday at the office. I was tickled to take an old peasant blouse and long peasant skirt, some cheap bangles and my beauty of a red wig. I became Madam Mysteer, see all, see a raise coming my way….it was fun and I felt gorgeous! Hubby thought it was rather hubba-hubba himself .

Now, I’m being honest here. I will make a dime or so off of each sale. It just helps defray some of my hosting costs. I’m just being frank and I want you to be able to count on me always being upfront with you.

This really will save you time, gas and money. This is one of the secrets of those put together moms and how they keep their cool. I am sooo happy there are quality stores to shop online now. And BuyCostumes is definitely one of the best. Save yourself the headache of picking thru the rubbish of last years costumes the brick stores put out year after year and overcharge for to boot.

What I want you to do is visit BuyCostumes and check them out for yourself. If I were a betting woman I would say you’re going to find just what you were looking for and be tickled with the quality and the price. Get an Afro Wig or a Medieval Wench or whatever strikes your fancy. Then tell me how many compliments you get this year at the party!

I truly feel there’s been this entire population of folks who were intrigued by wigs and wanted to know more.  But they either weren’t familiar with their local wig shop or (heaven forbid) didn’t have a local wig store to shop from.  And like so many others, the internet came to the rescue.

The shame in it all is there are shops that broadcast “Celebrity Wigs!!” and when you click on the link you find the latest styles to be Hannah Montana or the Princess Bride.  Um, yea, that would be great, if I were 10 years old!  

Then there are the shops all over Ebay and other places promising a great wig but you look at the pictures and it’s some woman, covering her face with the wig hair like she’s avoiding cameras at a police line up.  Are they kidding me?  That really gets my confidence going.  Um, are these wigs hot off a supply truck somewhere in Jersey?  Thanks but no thanks.

Now I’m not a label hoe by any means, but I do feel more confidence going where the big boys go.  Especially when I get great service and great discounts.  In all my looking around I fell in love with Beauty Trends.  They have wigs in almost every style, great quality and prices to fit any wallet.  Celebrity wigs actuallly means a wig styled like a celebrity wears it.  Glam on the go.

They currently carry Adolfo, Beverly Johnson and Revlon recently joined their team. And right now they are running a special for (drumroll please)



Check them out, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Now, flip that hair and flounce on!

I’m sure you’ve noticed it.  The increase in online wig stores popping up around every mouse click.  It’s not like the days when you walked into a physical shop and were able to assess if it was a place you wanted to buy from or run from.  Sites are beautiful, glitzy, look professional, some are even part of national organizations, right?  Yea, not so much.

So here’s a little 411 on weeding out the wig stores to stay away from.

• If the site looks like a 8 yr-old built it…click on down the road.  If they don’t have enough money or connections to get a site built that looks professional then I simply have to wonder if my giving them my money is going to get me a nice wig?  Or will it be something cheap or worse not show up at all because they just pocket my dough.  Nope, run.

• Misspellings…seriously now folks.  Too lazy to run spellcheck on your business?  Probably too lazy to get the top quality goods.

• Grammar police please….I’m not so strict in RL BUT these sites are trying to seperate me from my money.  I expect to read titles, articles, buttons that make sense in my language (English).  When I see something like “Make you like Tree” I think “Me love you long time” or other slang missing some components of language structure.  “Make you believe you’re a Tree”, “Make you Look like a Tree”, “Make you feel like a Tree”….I guess you get my point.  This just flags me I’m probably sending money overseas and I want to know more about the shop to see if I can feel secure.  If not, I’m out!

• This one is rather clever…..fake awards. Just saw a site recommendation the other day and checked it out.  Beautiful site, beautiful products, wide selection, answers lots of customer questions.  There was even a little badge saying they had won some award from the National Wiggerie Council or something, impressive.  But I thought “well who else has won this award and who are the Wiggerie Council to be the judge”, so I Googled them.  Guess what.  The Wiggerie Council was the same people that ran the wig store website.  The award was made up, by them!  That’s just downright deceptive and I have blacklisted them from my bookmarks.

I hope you take the time to be diligent. The internet is a great place to find and purchase all types of things with happy results.  There are many online celebrity wig, cancer wig, lace front wig stores competing for your dollars, choose wisely.

I don’t know how I found the article (or it found me) but I was blown away by this little story.  There appears to be a market for human hair that I would have NEVER thought of in my lifetime.  The same human hair that goes into our beautiful wigs is being used as….wait for it….FERTILIZER!

You heard it hear folks.  A natural fertilizer and weed preventer on farms.  Blair Blacker in Florida has found a special niche and is filling it with thousands of pounds of hair from China and India.  My question would be:  why not just recycle old human hair wigs?  Are our old wigs just fertilizing the landfills?  You can read more about Mr. Blacker in the FoxNews article.

Oh, and if fertilizer isn’t enough folks also use human hair mats for…wait for it…oil spill clean up.  Yep, who knew that human hair was so absorbent that it makes a great tool for clean up of toxic oil spills.  Planet Green’s YouTube video does a great job of showing how it all works.

I’m off to figure out how to recycle old wigs and make a fortune (while helping the environment, of course).

First, welcome to my site/blog.  I really do hope you find it informative, fun, heartfelt….well and every thing else soft, warm and fuzzy.  Sometimes I’m just like that.  Now, to answer the question at hand….

Why a site about celebrity wigs?  Why not about cancer wigs or just general wigs for women?  To answer that I want to tell you a little story about me.

I have to say, these last few years of life have been a bit rough for me.  I won’t elaborate on the details but I know there are many women these days that are juggling the same things I was.  And although I had started doing my daily actions in some kind of fog, I made sure everyone’s needs were met….except my own.

Thank goodness for good friends and the love of family!  My dearest friend had a “wake up will ya!” talk with me.  I had let myself go.  Now don’t get me wrong, I celebrate my age with joy.  But I hadn’t been to a hair salon in years and a pedicure?  Let’s say my closet was full of closed toe shoes.

We went shopping…..for wigs!  First I was giggling like a kid in a candy shop.  But there was this little bob number…when I looked at myself I saw a different woman looking back and I liked her.  I had a little flash, a twinkle in the eye, a spark that I hadn’t seen in awhile but welcomed back like an old friend.

So, to answer the question, sure celebrity wigs!  When the majority think of glam they think stars.  Stars have the best hair designers and hair technicians to get those extensions just right.  I’m all for borrowing a little good feeling from being more of the star inside of me.

Where your wigs and put a pep in your step!
