Many of you watched Regina's first video of her client consultation a few weeks ago when she chose her wigs for when she lost her hair for chemotherapy. She so graciously decided to share this part of her journey with our viewers. Thank you Regina! So many women are going through this same thing and don't have a clue where to begin. In Regina's own words..."If this video just helps one person then it's worth it".
She has an amazing outlook and attitude and has taken on this fight with strength!
Wigs shown:

Hi everyone, its misty and Kim for me, me, sweet boutique and we have Regina with us again today we did a client consult with her, Oh probably three or four weeks ago, and so today she has been gracious enough to share her getting her hair clipped. So she her first chemo treatment was on February 13th, so it's gon na be any day now that her hair follicles will start releasing so, and we are going to show you today how to clip your hair, the proper way to get ready to start wearing your Weight when you're going through chemo hi Regina, thank you so much for sharing this with us. It'S you know, we've gotten such a response from other people who have saw your video and said you know that they just they. They feel they're going through the same thing, and so they had a connection with you um and we haven't posted your picture so with your wig, she chose, and that is like the biggest thing that we did is: what did she get? What why did she choose? So, at the end of this video, we're gon na show you what she chose um, but we're gon na start out by just um, Regina, had really long, thick hair and she cut her hair. As soon as she found out, she was going through chemo, so um. You all saw that on the video, but we want to talk to you a little bit about how to properly do this um. You know it's the common thing to say I shaved my head for chemo and you're not really going to shave your head. You want to make sure that you're using some clippers and don't take it all the way to the scalp. I'M actually gon na use a number three guard on her. If you're familiar with that, because you the hair releases from the inside out, so you don't want to leave any of those follicles in there and if you take it to the skin, they kind of just sit there under the skin. And so, by leaving a little bit of hair, which is going to be put 3/8 of an inch that we're gon na leave, you give it a chance to every time you get in the shower or rub it to get those hairs out of there, and so The more and the quicker you can get those out of there, the less sensitivity you're going to have so um. This is her hair before, like I said, really think she's already clipped it if she were still gon na have her long hair would put this up in some. You know rubber bands and cut it shorter, but at the length it is now we're gon na be fine just to go ahead and say that, should I get me a clip, I'm sorry. I forgot a clip so again, I'm just using my regular fast feed Clippers with a number three guard, so we're gon na buzz it so like I said: if someone tells you you need to shave your head for chemo, don't take it all the way to the Scalp you're just kind of inviting some sort of irritation to happen um, but we're gon na get started here. Just let me grab a cake all right. Regina has her grandson here. Oh he's he's wanting her okay, but I love the fact and come up here. Let'S later juice your best friend over yeah, we want to introduce her, and this is Amanda hello and she has been there through everything, all the five o'clock hospital visits and everything. So we have very good support system. Friends are really long time. Yes, so I will be there, so she is not alone. She'S got her little corner over here, cheering her on and it's good to have a good support system and Regina has that. So I'm really glad that. So I'm just nothing fancy here, I'm literally just gon na, not even part it. I'M just gon na clip it out of the way since she does have really thick hair. Well, I make it a little bit more manageable. Are you ready for this sure? No emotional time, but I am others am and if you need to stop and take a break at any point time you just do it just tell us all right, I'm going to start the back cuz, that's the letting taught us in school. It'S actually quite freeing I've heard people say that you know when you just rub your hands well, and what we were talking about before is that this is one of the very few things that you can take control of when you're going through this process. Everything else in your life is now controlled by doctors and appointments, and you know really don't get to choose what you do win and but you can decide when you just want to eliminate your hair, and it is from what we've been told. It'S very freeing and it allows you not to have to go through it coming out piece by piece for a number of days. So is your head simply leading yeah a little bit I'll, try to be really careful! That'S how you know that you're really gon na start losing pretty soon yeah and some people describe it almost like a sunburn feeling. You know, like your skin, is just yeah irritated that no I'm just really tender headed. Are you yeah? I don't know if you want me doing this or not man girl, when you do hair and you're trying to get them in and out. You just start going on crazy, but this is not a normal hair appointment, so we're gon na just be really gentle. Your hair's, not quite as dark as I thought it was gon na, be because when you see that little bit of root you always gon na get a look darker, yeah and since you're here it is really think I'm gon na go ahead and clip these sides. So it'll be a little easier on you than me for this, come through it, nice and modern haircut right now, I'll shake the back longer. You guys it's probably important, to note that this is not something that we do in the store. Regina really felt led to share this with you guys, which we appreciate, and I know a lot of those are people she just she just really felt like. If she could help one person, then it was definitely worth sharing this moment. So we appreciate that, but it's it's not something that we do in this store and there's a number of places that will do it. You just have to call a check here and you can't even I mean if you, if you are used to like, had Clippers at home - and you know a lot of wives cut their husband's hair. This is something you can do the privacy your home. It'S nothing that you have to have gone to school, for it's just giving a buzz cut. So if you don't feel comfortable going out, in fact, your friends over have a glass of wine. Have a wig! Well, not a wig! I guess for the head shaving party. I feel at this point, if your home, or in a salon or wherever you're gon na, want to shampoo, but since we're just doing this really quick, I'm going to spray down with some water and run a towel through it to get some of the excess hair Out my assistant over here, this thing needs to be fired, no she's doing good. Okay. Now what I want to talk about now is scalp care and how you're gon na take care of this. First of all, I'm gon na get its cape off of you and all this hairs in your eye. We'Re gon na get you a towel and what you're gon na do when your hair starts releasing is like. We talked about it's probably gon na, be a little sensitive and your Gina said she's a little sensitive right now, even so, the best thing to do is get that hair out as fast as you can so every time you're in the shower. Maybe even a couple of times a day, just get you a little shampoo. There is a skincare line for a woman going to chemo to kind of exfoliate. It'S got that that's the biggest key is exfoliation. You want to get all those hair follicles out. So there's not a chance of any type of infection or ingrown hairs. I know it sounds weird that you might have an ingrown hair during chemo, but a lot of times those gray hairs which Virginia doesn't have hardly any they're, really stubborn and they don't come out because they're a little bit different of a. I don't know they're just they're, not slower-growing, but they don't come out as fast as your normal pigment in here, which is a strange thing. But so when you're in the shower get you a washcloth, go in circles around your head to get all that hair out. That you can, at that point after you get out the more scalp you start seeing you want to make sure you care for it just like it's your face so put some moisturizer on it, and a lot of people will use just coconut oil. So just keep that moisturize, and also it's good to keep in mind, especially with hair, is thick as hers. You literally can't see any skin, and this has never seen sunlight. So if you happen to go out, you are just like: it's like babies, do not go out unless you have a hat on or put some sun protection on it and that'll keep you from getting any kind of burns or anything like that. But at this point in time Regina see me she's a really nice shaped head. It feels good I like to just, and it feels good you can just keep doing that. That'S it hey-ya scalp, massage, that's really good. To do too, I mean there are a lot of things you just want to make sure you do what feels good, and so, if you start to feel itchy or sensitive, you rev down with a little coconut oil or a little just moisturizer, and things like that. But we'll keep in contact with Regina and find out how she's doing, but now to the fun part, we want to show you what she chose. Thank you so much sure I appreciate it. Let'S do that be a part of your journey, so I guess this is the one that looks like her cow look right there. Well, unfortunately, I know come on hey you got a little bit of a tail there. I can take some more than this, so we're gon na go ahead and put her weight grip on. You typically don't need the wig grips when you don't have any hair and some people wear them going through this just for an added sense of security. So it's just your personal choice and again we use the mallanna wig rip and the white label needs to be on the right side of your head somewhere in this region, and then you velcro at the back. You do those two things and you're good to go. So what regina chose is zara by genre. No, it's a lace-front monofilament top. This looks most similar to the way. I'M sorry, let me try. You can't see the front there. We go when you before you cut your hair. This closely resembles what you had correct, and this is why her dad really liked this is Zara in 12 fs8, which is also known as shaded praline, so that looked absolutely gorgeous. Then she chose another one which I think we were surprised by, but it looks so beautiful on her that she wanted it. So this was this longer. One is what she selected mate more for like a weekend, going out type of thing, and, and then this other one that I'm going to show. You is what she chose for work, it's a more manageable length, and this is also Chandler. No, this is Brooklyn and the color is shaded peach and that's just beautiful as well. Let'S get a cycle, I was kind of surprised, but I wasn't here when she came back to make her final selection and so Kim texted me, I'm like what she got. A red one but she's great. She tried on Julia in this color, which is a good bit longer and the colors are so pretty, but she also liked the Brooklyn style. So we got it in this color. So it's beautiful on her again Brooklyn is a professional collection and by John Renault you can only get it in a brick-and-mortar store. You cannot buy this week online. Can you help me with the numbers? Unshaded peach? Yes, f. Okay, wait! No! That'S my color 3027 s for no yeah, it's 30-27 s. For so it's got a it's got a highlight in the low light. It'S got a dark, hydrant rivet and it's an absolutely beautiful color. So what are you gon na wear out today? I don't know choices. Did she was also talking about? It was feeling a little bit tight when she had all of her hair. Is it feeling better yeah? That'S not it it'll be much better and - and just I mean you'll get so used to wearing it. It'Ll be second nature, but that's when you got to watch out. Remember no heat! So if you're home cooking - and you forget your heavy way, going - don't open that oven door, right, okay and steam of any kind, so dishwasher dry cycle if you've got something cooking on the stove and you lift that lid that bursts of steam comes out. And I will tell you from experience: it gets you in the front every time. So if you start to see a little bit of frizzing, the the synthetic wig will not do that on its own. That'S a the heat damage has a real distinct look, so we usually tell people if you're close by swing by. Sometimes we can fix that there is a point of no return, but we try to you know we work out, just don't cut it. Get get. G varies per me the point of no return. You can burn it up. We can't do anything with the stop by any way, Regina. Thank you so much we're so honored to be a part of this whole journey with you and again, we looking to you come on over, let's say bye, yeah to best friend if she could be in a video, I'm like, of course, it's really. It'S really good that y'all are really close and in to have somebody with you during this time. So we just appreciate you both and we look forward to seeing how you're come through the end. I got ta be great yeah part. I just I'm here for her Wow, the harder part yeah. Well, you know it's been, you have to remember. Not everybody has that so you're a very important integral part of her life, so she don't want you to miss it as well as Cameron over there yeah. This is your grandson right shy, early, looking to be shiny, like totally walking away. Oh anyway, thanks for joining us and look, you know for our new videos that are coming out.

Comments
Dee D: She's a brave woman! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
GAMMIE IN FLA: Been there done that Regina! I know what you're going through! I'm 14 yrs cancer free now!
SfSchoen: I’m sitting here sobbing just because of how professionally and caring and the nurturing nature that was used during her hair cut...actually the whole appointment time. Not by 2 women that didn’t feel like being at work that day as you see sooo much of now, but by 2 women that were so nurturing, so very genuine. I have so much hair I can’t even stand to put a hat on. I live in MD I’m nowhere near TX and have never even thought of going there. Yet I came across these videos of 2 women in TX chatting about wigs and I’m loving it. I know she feels better knowing you 2 are there. (I have no idea why I love wig videos so much but they actually give me ideas of styling my own short hair)
Shelly B.: She is adorable with short hair! Even the buzz! Thanks so much for doing this important video! Praying for her. Shelly from Idaho
Joyce Boston: Amazing! Regina can wear so many styles and colors and rocks them all. Thank you Regina for sharing your journey and caring for others in this very special way. You are in my prayers. Thank you Kim and Misty for being that special team of support.
Brenda Gregory Yuen: All the best Regina! And what an awesome friend. I'm about to buzz my hair (not for chemo) so this was helpful so I can tell my husband what to do (ha!). I hope we'll be able to get updates on Regina as she powers through all the treatments and gets an "all clear"!!!!
Deb S: I cried like a baby watching this. I watched the video of her trying on wigs. She is such a brave and strong women to share this experience with us. The two of you were so kind and caring. My mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1985. I took her to a so called wig shop and they would not let customers try on wigs. You could just purchase one. I was so upset I went back into the store and told this lady that I hoped she had cancer one day. That was so out of character for me. I would have never been rude to anyone then or now. So I really want to thank you for all you and your staff do to help these women at such a difficult time in their lives. May God bless each of you.
Sandra G. McAlister: Very brave woman, both wigs are really pretty on her, but the red wig is absolutely beautiful on her, thanks ladies, y'all are the best!
Debera Crabb: She is a real trooper an a very pretty young lady ...her wigs look so real on her..you girls did a great job thank you for sharing❤️
Kate G: Thank you Misty and Kim. It's hard to go through losing your hair but you have real love and giving and compassion. Hugs to both of you for making that easier for Regina. Bless her heart for helping other people and allowing you to stream this. She's a tough lady and she'll kick cancer's butt. x
MisterTracks: amazing stuff
Cindy Johnson: You are so brave doing this on YouTube! I went thru this too but when I “shaved” my head I did not look in a mirror and immediately put a hat on afterwards. It is freeing but it’s also very emotional! You got this!! I’m 4 months post Chemo and my hair is growing back!
Angel M Giovinazzo: So wonderful to see this today, and she was so brave to do this on camera! Many of us who are not going thru chemo want to buzz our hair also, Especially if we have very thin hair where our scalp is showing, and wear wigs everyday. Thank you!♥️
Barbara Anderson: I love you girls. You help so many people and your caring way is so appreciated. ❤️
unlikely critic: As a survivor of breast cancer, over 20 years ago, I am praying for Regina and I really appreciate her sharing her journey with us!
Laurie Shafer: Thank you Regina for allowing us to be part of your journey. When you are willing to be so open, you help others that are experiencing a simular path to have less fear about lossing there hair. You have touched my heart deeply. You now have a whole community rooting for you. Blessings!
Angel: Tears flowing, the love and care you show people going through such a scary, horrible time got my heart strings. Not just that but Regina herself she sat there and smiled bless her sweet heart ❤❤ She is trying to help others with her own experience, while others would be saying why me she is out there saying ok well maybe I can help someone else I am praying for a full recovery for Regina and will be thinking of her always! Also bless her friend that's amazing she is a kind soul. Please keep us updated
Lydia Johnson: Many thanks to Regina for sharing her experience. I'm going through chemo now. I have a treatment tomorrow. I really like the Brooklyn wig on her, but I may be biased since I love red hair.
Debra Henderson: Thank you Regina!!! You are so brave sharing your story with the world! I love both of your choices. When you were just talking I totally forgot for a bit that you even had a wig on . You also have a nice looking head and pretty face without a wig at all. I’m praying for your speedy recovery you seem like a very strong lady! So nice to have the support of your friend and grandson!
BeckyS: I've been debating for a month now about just shaving mine off since it's been thinning out drastically over the past year. So glad Regina shared this with us as it has given me the courage. It's not an easy decision but when you're holding onto an idea of perfect, thick hair that is no longer an option, this just makes sense and will be freeing instead of looking at it and feeling depressed. You ladies are awesome! Thanks again for sharing. Regina looked amazing in both choices.
Donna M: What a blessing of kindness you have given to Regina. Prayers lifted for the chemo to put her in remission quickly. Love that Amanda was introduced. I love your chats. You are both so natural in spirit while talking to us. I love that you laugh at yourself. Kim - you are so right about lack of control. I can tell Regina’s spirits have been lifted from loving TLC from you both. I tear up because in 2018 - I found myself going through 2 major surgeries due to my 2nd diagnosis. I traveled from West Texas to the amazing Surgeons & oncologists @ UT Southwestern. My Breast Cancer journey began in 2008. I’m now in my 2nd remission. I now have hair loss due to daily medication. I plan to make arrangements at a later date to come see you ladies. I will email ahead of time, and work out a date in time. Thank you for doing this for Regina - I know it filled her heart with love. You ladies have servant’s hearts. Bless you all! Donna McBride/West Texas.
Sandi Newton: I respect Reginas sharing her buzz with us. My first hair loss was 2 weeks and one day after first chemo. I kept it buzzed for a couple of years cause I loved wearing wigs so much. You’re gonna do great, Regina!
M Wheel: You need a love button on here! Regina, you just plain rock. First, you look great with short hair, have you ever had short hair before? Was that a pleasant surprise? AND both wigs look great! You are so generous and kind to share this experience, thank you and very best wishes!!
MoodyGirl: Hello ladies!! Regina you are a warrior!!! Love the wig you chose!!! You are helping so many others!!!
Barbara Napravnik: Good luck with your Chemo treatments Regina. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. God bless
Marsha Malone: How sweet of you Regina to share this very personal moment with us, thank you
twerpylou: I was in your shoes once-- Godspeed and get it DONE!
Ginger Lehman: Regina will be in my prayers. She looks beautiful! God bless you all!
Debbie R: WOW!! What a fabulous video this is... THANK YOU so much for sharing your journey with us. I can only imagine how your strength, courage and faith has touched those who are going through exactly what you are going through, what a shining light you are!! I am going to pray with and for you every day until you ring that bell!! BTW...I love the two wigs you picked, they both looked amazing on you. You've got this!! On another note...Thanks to you both for your encouragement, you were so very kind, encouraging and humble which is exactly what this world needs more of. Many blessings to each one of you!
Doreen Gardner: This is so kind of you! My hair just started releasing on Sunday, my 1st chemo treatment was Feb 6th. I actually did exactly what Misty said to do on about day 10. I really enjoy the freedom my new wigs give me. But, I'm still searching for that "everyday" style and color. I wish I was like Misty and looked gorgeous and natural in EVERYTHING! I'm not having great luck with color. There isn't a wig store anywhere around me. I've bought great wigs styles on line but my color choices have been a real challenge. I REALLY wish I could come to your shop!! You ladies are truly a blessing!
Victoria Lang: Regina, you got this! Praying for you! I am a 6 year surviver!
Brenna Gardner: You both are truly angels The compassion and care shown is phenomenal. Prayers for Regina! You are a trooper and love the new hair ❤️
diane gaines: Prayers for you Regina through this journey you are on. Thank you Kim and Misty for being angels on earth.
Brenda Jerles: This is amazing! I am also going through chemo. This would have been awesome to see before we shaved my hair off. I didn't know you shouldn't shave it all the way down to the scalp. Mine is starting to grow back but it is all white in the front! I dyed it medium to dark auburn before cancer. This video will bless many people! Good bless you on your journey Regina. I will be paying for you.
allykatt1849: Sending Regina lots of love and positive vibes her way. She looks beautiful in shaded peach!
Janis Huey: I think, since every woman has either been through chemo herself or has known someone who has, this video will surely be a huge blessing. Thank you so much, ladies, for your bravery and generosity (Regina) and your compassion and kindness Misty and Kim. Also, Misty, you gave some information that is invaluable on scalp sensitivity. Love you, girls!
Sari S: I want send a huge hug to Regina. You are so sweet to share this journey with other women who may be going through their own journey with chemo. As a now almost a 15 year survivor who fortunately was cured with radiation not chemo but my hair and skin suffered. So grateful to Kim and Misty for their kindness and compassion in helping other women. Regina's smile and bravery left me in tears. Kind heart and brave too. I wish Regina to be where a lot of us are today. Survivors! Stay brave and know many prayers are coming your way. We look forward to updates on your complete recovery. Love to all the brave women out there.
Gianna Rossi: What a wonderful, heartfelt video showing a very courageous woman going through a tough journey. You ladies were so great with her, and you both deserve a lot of credit. Regina looked great in both of those wigs, especially Brooklyn, but I really liked the buzzed look. She’s beautiful!
Debbie Freeman: Thankyou Regina for sharing and to Misty and Kim for the video and being so kind to include us in this journey xx
Cl Ro: She looks Beautiful. Congratulations Regina on such a great choice.
A. RosesRBleu: I thank God Amanda and your grandson was there for you today Regina....as are all of us watching and thanking you for sharing this very intimate and challenging time of your life with us, the viewing audience....love that smile, brave Regina...may God keep you in His tender care and may you get thru this all with flying colors! I appreciated all the wisdom in Misty's words regarding not taking the hair down to the scalp because of the risk of infected hairs etc...and especially during chemo you can't fight infection very well....Excellent video all you ladies (and grandson!) Love the tips for dealing with the hair follicles and taking care of the "baby" skin on the scalp as well...May we all be enriched by this brave journey Regina is on, and may she know she isn't alone....God Bless! xo
Kris Betts: Thank you Regina for sharing with us. You are a pretty and brave young woman. I’m watching this for scalp tips. My mom had brain surgery in December and is getting a plastic plate next month for part of her skull. She’s lost hair from surgery and the meds. I’m going to send her this video. Her scalp is itchy so your tips will help. She has a wig but right now has to wear a helmet to protect her head. We decorated it with cute sparkle stickers. Thanks for the tips
Connie Helm: Awe, blessing to all of you. I was at this same place in early 2017. I invited my family to come for a buzz party, and help me buzz my hair, so my sixteen year old granddaughter cut mine. I will be praying for you Regina. I was so happy to see your family and friend there with you. Stay Strong and take it one day at a time. Jesus did a miracle for me and I am believing for your healing, too. Sending my love to you all.
christopher blain: She is so amazing and beautiful, thank you for sharing your journey with us!!!
Lainey: Fantastic video....I braved the shave last week, i suffer from alopecia....its definitely a shock to see yourself with no hair.... at least now I won't see hairloss ..just new hairs appearing .... all the very best to Regina x
janetplanet09: OMG! I wish I had this good advice 4 years ago! I had my hair clipped 4 years ago after my first chemo by my wig salon and I ended up with folliculitis, and my coworker a year later had the same issue. I had no idea it was because they clipped it too close! Misty and Kim you guys are so awesome. God bless you for the good work you do. One day I’m coming down to see you.
Frankie Lee: Regina, thank you for this. And Misty and Kim, thank you, too. I'm not sure why you don't offer this service to your clients going through chemo, because it would drastically reduce the trauma often associated with headshaving, but I'm grateful you helped Regina. Not everyone has someone, or knows someone, willing to do this, and not everyone has support like Amanda. Regina, you are going to get through this and look back on all of it someday. Godspeed healing and breathing in all the love that surrounds you. x Wendy
sweatintotheoldies: Lifting up Regina in prayer! She's an angel for doing this video. So important. The red looks awesome on her!

Holly Kurtz: I just feel like I want to reach in and give Regina a huge hug! She looks so pretty with a buzzed head and I can’t wait to see what beautiful new hair she chose!
Rosemary 12: I especially love the red one. She looks beautiful! Best wishes!

Danielle Kline: Watching with no hair. Shaved mine after first round of chemo. to Regina.
Melissa Carter: Regina, May God bless you on this journey and recovery be swift and complete. You are a warrior woman, I have the highest respect for your desire to help other women along the way. Keep in touch, we will be thinking of you
Michelle Cook: My prayers are with you Regina! Misty cut your hair like my stylist cut mine. We had a celebration because when I lost my hair it was a sign that my chemo was working. Support systems are as important as the treatment itself. Much love from SW Oklahoma!
Rainie3: That was very brave and I thank you for sharing this. Praying for Regina.
GAMMIE IN FLA: Regina you look beautiful without your locks! You rock!

Barbara Anderson: That looks so natural
Mable Ashworth: So nice to see how happy she was
Charlotte R: Regina, I’m so sorry! I know it hurt to get your hair buzzed! I pray that you are healed completely and your hair comes back beautiful!
Jonnie Stewart: Thank you to Kim & Misty for showing this video. And thank you to Regina for being so brave to allow both her videos to be shown. I had watched the first video with Regina and it was so helpful to me. I am going through the same process myself. I had been dreading going in but after seeing the first video, I was able to go Mimi’s and look at wigs. Worked with Kristie to select a few wigs. She had to order a couple and am waiting for them to come in (hopefully soon). I had my first chemo treatment last week and had already scheduled an appointment with my hairdresser for next week. We’ve talked and I was planning to do the same process that Misty did for Regina. So watching the second video was also perfect timing for me. So a great big thank you to Regina, Kim & Misty for these two videos. They were just what I needed at the right time and I know they are helping others.
Kathy Eubanks: God bless Regina! And bless Misty and Kim, too; you ladies are amazing women. All of you!
sdraper2011: Very pretty and totally natural on Regina - wow! Chic and elegant. Love that smile.
Donna Murphy: Regina looks great in both wigs, especially Brooklyn! I pray she is doing well with her treatments.
Kimberly Guiseppe-Cooley: How kind and dear you girls are. Even I was in tears by your helpfulness and kindness!!!
Suzanne Dawson: Awwwwe, Thank you, Regina. Wishing ALL THE BEST as you are cured. What a woman you are ❤️❤️❤️ They are both lovely on you. I wasn’t thinking last year, and stood next to an outside heater. Wrong move.... I totally singed my wig.
Angelika Blossfeld: I cried the whole video. Regina you are a brave warrior. I have been to scared to shave my head and my hair is coming out by the handful. After watching your video I feel brave enough to do it now. Wishing you a complete recovery. You are strong, you got this
Andrea Walker: The red one is a great look on her. She smiled as it was put on.
Jeanene Viola: Such a courageous woman. You look beautiful in your choices of wigs. Thank you for sharing.
BeachN Sandy: Very nicely done ladies. Good job.
Louise M: I want to say both wigs look completely natural on Regina. Glad she had you two to help her along. That said I do have a question. On screen, shaded praline always looks to be a fairly light blonde. However when I ordered a Jon Renau in that color, well, mine looks so dark with no light blonde at all. Did I get a fluke or is it the lighting. Because it’s not just your channel, everyone I see on you tube looks quite light. So would the 14/26s 10 be a little lighter? I would do appreciate an answer and please give Regina my best wishes for as uneventful a journey as possible.
KA Pirk: Oh my! I just did this a few days ago. But, I did it wrong, my husband did the buzz cut for me, then I razor shaved it down to baby bottom smooth. I loved it! I was so sick of hair falling out every where and getting on everything. I couldn’t scratch my head without a clump of hair coming out. I am so happy that Regina was generous and shared her experience. I love the wigs and colors she chose. Thank you Regina! Best wishes for an easy time and all the success with your treatments!! Oh yeah, I forgot to add, my husband let me buzz cut his hair the next day so we were twins. That was super sweet of him. I don’t have any wigs yet so we a bald twins. He asked me if her could wear one of my wigs. I should have gotten him a purple wig.
C D: Regina, you look beautiful! Prayers ❤️
ohyouresotough: I just lost my hair for the second time due to chemotherapy. You gals are awesome :)
K Vision Media: Regina you’re so brave and beautiful! Stay strong and kick cancers ass!
Evangeline Kessler: These videos taking us on Regina's breast cancer journey were incredibly moving. Thank you, Regina, for sharing with us. I am moved to tears. And you look so beautiful in that red wig...both of them, but that red is stunning on you! I'm so glad you went a little out of your comfort zone. By the date on this video I see that I'm watching it two years after it was filmed...I'm just now coming to the wig party due to aging/hormonal hair loss, and I recently buzzed my hair off. It is so much more pleasurable to wear a wig without having to first wrangle any hair you have left and get it situated under the cap or whatever. I'm still having what I call phantom hair moments about a month after my buzz cut. I hope this finds you well and fully recovered from your bout.
Pamela Brown: Regina you look so beautiful in both of the ones you chose!! for you on your journey.
Ann Dumond: You are so brave and continues prayers for strength and comfort.
Robb Endicott-Powers: What an incredibly selfless act of Regina to share this part of her journey as a warrior with others. I just wanna do her makeup and give her a huge hug. She is beautiful and has gorgeous skin........just like you two.....Regina is beautiful in any style. Loving the shaded peach!!!!
Gerty Terry: Blessings to Regina on her journey and sincere mahalo for being so brave to share it with all of us.
BoMiSo Satori: You are gorgeous Regina <3 , even with a buzz <3 Coconut oil clogs your pores, please don't use it. It's much better to use jojoba oil it behaves similar to the oil in the skin and its also very good for cleansing the skin <3 I am sending you the best possible thoughts and great vibes Regine <3 Cameron is stunning on your Kim.
Maria Abbott: You go girl!!!!
Ann4U2000: She looks great in both!!!
Susie Crisp: Brooklyn looks awesome on her!
Christine Laine: Omg what a brave lady she looks beautiful and the girls are fab
Cathy Lee Grantham-Schreifels: Regina and her friend look like they could be sisters. My bestie died with cancer 2 years before I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. She would’ve been there the same as I was for her. So I’ve been here with chemo hair. It was emotional, but before losing my own hair, I found a Raquel Welch wig that looked exactly like my own. To test the look, I met my mother, sister, cousin and uncle at a very busy restaurant. We visited a half hour and my cousin even ran her fingers through the ends, telling me how pretty my hair always looked! Once I had everyone’s attention, I gave the wig a good twist. There were 4 floored people staring back at me. The next day vegan my 6th month of chemo. I had worn the wig at every treatment. My chemo nurse came to my chair and whispered, “Is that a wig?” She said a lady across the room wants to know. LOL What a great way to lift your spirits! I wore it with a wide knit headbands just under the hairline when I went skiing. It was adorable and nobody ever guessed. 12 years well and strong by a miracle from God! Prayers for Regina. Ring that golden bell and never look back!!
Jeanne Shumaker: Regina you look beautiful in your wig choices!
Colleen Giese: Trailblazer, generous lady to allow us to watch & learn. Txs a million Regina, my spiritual Sister!
Maryann Towndsend: God bless your journey Regina❤️
