About Donna
AKA: @style.me.ageless
Wigs.com: Tell us about yourself and how your journey with hair loss persuaded you to be such an inspiration in the hair loss community. 
Donna: I became interested in wigs about 13 years ago after I decided to grow out my hair…I had always worn it in a short pixie and was hoping to finally experience longer hair. Being a real estate broker, it was important for me to always look “put together” and the risk of bad hair days during my journey to longer bio hair was not an option. As my hair began to grow, I realized that it was fine, frizzy, and receding at the hairline. Plus, the extra work in maintaining a longer bio hairstyle was more than I had expected. Another realization was that I loved my wigs! It was at this point that I decided to cut my hair back to a pixie and continue wearing wigs. My current collection exceeds 100 and through the years, many of which I have donated to the local cancer clinic. 
I’ve never had an issue surrounding confidence within the scope of wig wearing as from the beginning, I sought out wigs and embraced all they stood for. I had little regard for the way others felt about my wigs. They make me feel amazing 
I’ve learned that a well-chosen wig can totally change my outlook on life. My experience with wearing wigs has been so positive that sharing that experience with others has become a passion. Whether they are experiencing hair loss due to medical reasons or seeking a change in their own personal style, I want everyone to know that something as simple as wearing a wig can empower and inspire them to become the best version of themselves.

Finding Confidence with Wigs

Wigs.com: How has wearing wigs influenced your confidence or other areas of your life?
Donna: Wearing wigs has had a bit of a ripple effect beyond just enhancing my physical appearance. As a retired successful real estate professional, I’d been in the public eye for most of my career but privately, I have been very much an introvert. Since wearing wigs, I love the way I look and have become more outgoing and enjoy the diversity of my personal style. The mirror has become my friend as wigs allow me to be ready to take on the day at the drop of a hat regardless of what the day has in store. From going out with friends and entertaining family to quiet dinners with my husband, I have a new look for each occasion and it’s surprising how each wig comes with its own persona. Ultimately, wigs have become more than just a fashion accessory to me, they're a source of personal empowerment.

My Advice For New Wig Wearers

Wigs.com: What advice would you give to yourself at the beginning of your wig wearing journey?
Donna: At the outset of my wig-wearing journey, I was extremely confident in my choice to wear wigs. My biggest issue was that I knew absolutely nothing about wigs or the wig-wearing community. I didn’t know ANYONE who wore wigs. It was a lonely path and I had to learn everything by trial and error. It was not until about 10 years into my journey that I realized there was a wealth of information and assistance out there for wig wearers. My advice to myself would be “don’t feel like you are in this alone…do your research and reach out for advice - it is limitless”. 
Wigs.com: What is the biggest challenge with wearing wigs?
Donna: I have to be honest, I have been extremely fortunate in my wig-wearing adventure. It has been so positive and has given me many opportunities to share my love of wigs with people who compliment me on my hair. 
If there was one thing that I could pinpoint, I would say “the fit of the wigs” might be my biggest challenge. My head circumference is on the smaller side (20 5/8”) and some wig caps are just too big for me. Over the years, I’ve learned a few ways to adjust the fit to make them wearable.

Wigs.com: What do you love most about wearing wigs?
Donna: What I love about wearing wigs is the versatility they offer and the endless array of styles and colors available. I can be a different (looking) person every day. I love “hair-mail” days - they are some of my favorite days! The arrival of new wigs in the mail makes me happy, 
so happy that I can't wait to try them on! And, I love the fact that my husband is so supportive of my choice to wear wigs but if I had to narrow it down, the thing I love most about wearing wigs it would be seeing the surprise on the faces of other women who compliment my hair, when I tell them I wear wigs and watching the smile on their faces light up the room. It’s like a light bulb went on in their heads and they now see a personal path forward with beautiful hair again.
