The Sheitel Hunt: A Personal Review

Last month I went on a wig/sheitel buying hunt. 

I was determined to find what I was looking for and not to settle or be pressured into buying a wig that I did not simply love.  The plan was to find a wig that would be a good candidate for the classic bob haircut.  The wig had to fit into some basic criteria including 1) feel good on my head 2) European hair 3) Dark brown color.

After buying the prized wig, I planned on taking it to be cut by Eva Scrivo at her salon on Bond Street in the city.

Following are the details of my Crown Heights wig searching adventure. 

And The Winner Is...

The Crocodile Went to the Dentist

I made the trip to the dentist the other week, and for those of you who are familiar with Shel Silverstein’s poem, I didn’t exactly eat her, but I did get pretty darn close!

It started off innocently enough as I slid into the big vinyl chair, and got ready for my tooth cleaning and whitening consultation. I quickly noticed that the dentist seemed to be lacking an assistant as she came into the room and introduced herself.

I hadn’t gotten my teeth cleaned; I am ashamed to say, in a really long time. I know. People like me should be punished, or at least come up with a bunch of cavities or something right? Well, besides for some embarrassing discoloring that I needed to treat, my teeth were really not in such bad shape… and the dentist let me know that she was ready to begin the cleaning process.

She attaches the bib to my shirt and gets her utensils lined up on the tray in front of her. She takes out her anesthetic spray that I assume is meant for my teeth. Although, I never knew my previous dentists to numb my gums before cleaning them. “Hmmm. Something new” I assume.

1)To create a smooth surface for your lipstick use a natural lip balm after exfoliating your lips with a soft bristle toothbrush. I personally love Alba Un-petroleum lip balm in tangerine. It is natural, smells sooo delicious (not overpowering) and has an SPF of18. http://albabotanica.com/
