Dear Professional Women, Invest in a Good Wig (I Say This with Love)

Jul 25

I say this gently, with no judgment—just love, truth, and sisterhood.
Because I’ve been there.

I know what it feels like to throw on a wig in a rush. To settle for synthetic because it was “good enough.” When I lost all of my front edges due to a botched braid job, and had to face my German boss in a terrible sew-in, his face said it all. I know what it is like to wear one that doesn’t match your texture, your tone, or your power—and to hope no one notices.

But here’s the truth: they do and they make judgements about your ability to lead or taken seriously.
And unfortunately, as Black women, we are judged twice as hard—for our hair, our style, and how we show up in the world.

I’m not saying this to shame you. I’m saying this to elevate you. Because you deserve more.

A Wig Isn’t Just Hair—It’s a Signal

You’re a professional. A woman with vision, purpose, and presence. And your hair should reflect that. It’s the first thing people notice. It’s what enters the room before you speak. Whether we like it or not, your wig can either work for you or against you.

And when it’s not right—when it’s overly shiny, doesn't blend with your skin or texture, or looks “thrown together” or more like ‘drag’—it can undermine your authority and your confidence.

You Deserve a Wig That Honors You

Not just any wig. A well-crafted, natural-looking, beautifully textured unit that reflects your style, protects your crown, and respects your roots. Whether you’re experiencing alopecia, thinning, postpartum shedding, or you simply want to give your natural hair a break—you deserve a hair solution that’s intentional, not just convenient.

And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Let’s Discover Your Perfect Wig—Together

At Ola Rose Hair Wellness, I offer one-on-one consultations that take into account:

Your face shape
Your lifestyle
Your scalp health
Your skin tone
Your natural hair texture
And most importantly—your essence.

We don’t just slap on a wig.
We discover your crown.
Whether it’s a custom Afro-kinky lace unit, a textured loc wig, or a CrownFill hybrid system—we’ll find the one that fits like it was made just for you. Because it is.

You Are Not Alone in This

I’ve experienced hair thinning. I’ve worn the wrong wigs. I’ve ducked cameras, fixed hairlines in mirrors, and tried to fake confidence I didn’t feel. I’ve listened to friends who advised me to wear silky European wigs that looked silly and didn’t help me to stand out. Thank goodness, I had the confidence to start over, be gentle with my hair and ask for help and now I have back length sisterlocks/micro-interlocks with no extensions.

By the way, nothing is wrong with extensions or wigs, however…..if the wig is causing more damage and exacerbating your existing alopecia, or it’s making you stand out in the wrong way, it’s time to get support.

That’s why I created this space—for us.

So from one professional woman to another:
Invest in yourself. Invest in your peace. Invest in a wig that makes you feel respected, radiant, and rooted.

You don’t have to “make it work.”
Let’s make it beautiful—together.
