I don't know if I'd completely give up on the wig. It is for sure an unusual color for Asian complexion but so are the blue contacts and you rock them.

When I have my hair lighter (like now) and I have very light skin color what helps is actually darker makeup around the eyes, eyebrows (you don't need that 😄) and lips. All to give more accents to your face. Right now, I feel the mass of red hair is somewhat overpowering.

And yes, the same - some things go dormant and will absolutely come back. I still remember that it was one of your self portraits that drew me to your profile. I'd say - keep going!
