The Anxiety of Wearing your First Wig (Crown)

Embarking on the journey of wearing a wig for the first time can be a mix of excitement and anxiety. It's completely normal to feel a range of emotions as you step into this new experience. Here are some tips to help you navigate the anxiety and embrace your new crown with confidence. We call wigs "crowns" because we want to distance ourselves from the common stigma that is often attached to this wonderful beauty tool. Every woman is a queen and has a right to beautiful, healthy looking hair, regardless of her age and health status. We are "crowning" ourselves and we are having fun in the process. 

Understanding Your Feelings

It's okay to feel nervous about wearing a wig. Change can be intimidating, especially when it involves your appearance. And crowns can change your look pretty dramatically. Take a moment to acknowledge your feelings and remind yourself that it's a natural part of trying something new.

Get a Personal Consultation 

We offer video consultations that last 60-90 minutes. There is no rush and there is absolutely no pressure to buy. The consultation fee is $50 up front, but you will receive a $50 coupon code for the online shop at the end of your consultation that will never expire. It is very important to us that your fears, concerns, hopes, goals and expectations are not just taken into consideration, but truly "heard". We often hear from customers that they felt rushed or pressured into buying a wig at their local wig store. Our approach could not be more different. We truly understand that no reason or circumstance is exactly the same and we have the knowledge, the empathy, the experience and the tools to get your wig journey off to a great start. Not only will we discuss your ideal first crown, we also teach you the "Arwendayle Protocol" we developed over the course of three years and hundreds of consultations. The protocol is an easy but extremely important 4-step method to give you the confidence to wear your first wig in any setting and your every day life, without going through the anxiety most women have to struggle with when they receive their first crown.

Seek Support

Reach out to friends, family, or online communities for support. Sharing your feelings with others who have been through a similar experience can help alleviate anxiety and provide valuable tips and encouragement.

Practice Self-Compassion

Be kind to yourself throughout this process. Remember that it's okay to make mistakes or feel unsure at times. Treat yourself with the same compassion and understanding that you would offer to a friend facing a new challenge.

Confidence is Key

Ultimately, the most important thing to remember is that confidence comes from within. The only person you need to convince is yourself. Everything and everyone else will fall into place. That's why it is so important to go on a little soul search with someone who can give you competent advice and hold your hand. Purchasing the wrong first wig will set you back, not just financially but also emotionally, and it is so easily avoided.
