I've read story after story of kids bullying kids who have no hair, either due to cancer or alopecia (a condition we don't know much about but seems to be growing with each year). When I was a kid, it wasn't called bullying; it was just a part of normal life in school to be teased for being overweight, losing your hair, being a geek, having braces, or not being with the “in crowd”.
One particular story we personally experienced here at AJ's Wigs happened when
Oh LORD Not Again
(A personal story)
Most of us deal with things in our own way, some outwardly and some inwardly. Some of us get mad and emotional, some of us get cold and silent. And yet the results are often the same as we are human and always want to feel like there is a higher power up there that is not only listening, but loves us with all his heart. There are many things we do not understand in life, even us expert's like our staff at AJ's Wigs. As much as we deal with cancer every day, sometimes I find myself asking, Oh God, why?

Please be aware that there are many websites selling
counterfeit wigs of inferior quality. As far as we can tell, these
sites are all based in China. Many women are enticed by the seemingly

shoddy merchandise arrives. We Americans care about not only price,
but quality as well and when we don't get that quality, with these

With fashion wigs coming back fast and furious into fashion, we find ourselves, as New England's largest medical grade wig salon, having to add fashion wigs to our already large selection of wigs. But why?
I know that my mom, grandmother and aunts all used to wear wigs in the 1960's and 70's. We used to make fun of them. We would even take their wigs and run around the house with my dad, wearing them, laughing and joking around. But with fashion pieces coming back in huge popularity, I have to ask myself an important question: Were the ladies in my family so crazy, so vain as to wear a wig out in public rather than go out in public "au naturale"?
