THE GIBSON GIRL IS BACK!Los Angeles, CA. Once thought of as the “ideal woman” with heaps of beautiful hair piled atop her head and representing self-confidence and optimism during the First World War, the Gibson Girl is making a 21st century comeback! Now, Emmy-nominated soap star, Amy Gibson is reinventing the Gibson Girl in her own way as founder of Crown & Glory Enterprises manufacturers of creative high-end wigs and lifestyle training for women who suffer from hair loss.
“Over 35 million women in America are suffering with hair loss today, and most have difficulty dealing with it physically and emotionally, and are searching for the right wig to become a part of their everyday life without anyone knowing,” says Gibson who knows the effects of hair loss all too well after having to keep her baldness (due to Alopecia Areata, a common autoimmune disease that attacks the hair follicle and causes baldness) a secret for over 20 years while starring as an actress on television. Gibson feels it is vital to help women understand that life doesn’t stop because of female hair loss, and launched her company to provide the tools and guidance necessary to help them live a normal life with wigs.
Gibson’s new line of personally designed wigs “Presence” are different than any other wigs on the market today. Highlighted in Gibson’s line are her “break-out” wigs; “The First Women’s Sports Wig” for active women who can wear the wigs while working out and while scuba diving, as well as “The First Women’s Intimate Wig” that can be comfortably worn during those special times with a loved one.
Gibson’s partnership with International Hair Goods, Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aderans, the largest wig company in the world marks her premiere entrance into the mass market. Together they have joined forces to present the first line of ready made wigs using Cyberhair, a remarkable synthetic hair developed and manufactured exclusively by Aderans. Cyberhair which looks and feels like healthy hair with natural appearance and bounce, weighs less for more comfort. The wigs have permanent color-stay and style memory so after washing and swimming they go right back into their style.
In addition to the unique line of wigs, Gibson’s personal coaching, teaches women how to live with hair loss and make a wig part of their daily life; what to do when a significant other wants to run his fingers through the hair or caresses the neck, sleeping and how to make love in a wig, and how to engage in sporting activities, etc.
Amy’s work with cancer patients focuses on boosting their self confidence and regaining their dignity after losing their hair, so all they need to focus on is healing.
“Life doesn’t have to stop just because you have lost your hair. Gibson’s motto; ‘Girls, we are more than just hair’,” “I’m living proof of how you can transform from feeling like a victim to being Victorious!”
