Di Di, my stylist, ordered my hairpiece blonde ...

She then dyed it dark brown, along with my
side hair, so the knots and base would disappear
into my scalp ...

And I guess from no one ever mentioning anything strange
about my hair ..

and I no longer see friends, relatives and strangers ....
discerning eyes traveling to the top of my scalp
like I did when I was using concealers for years ...
I guess DiDi's strategy is effective ...

Although ....I found, from my experience, that after
a week or so, the hair color she uses ... starts
to get a shade or two ... lighter in color ...

So now .. I have her touch up my own side hair
and the hair piece at the same time ... so as the color
fades ... both areas (natural and the piece) fade equally,

Keeping the hair illusion undetectable ...
the blend where the piece
meets my own natural hairline ....
