I’ll write a blog on pros and cons of each.
Y, I’ve used both, and they both have their pros and cons, one of the best pros of bonded hair is having great hair all the time.
The good thing about normal wigs is you can just put it on and take it off whenever you want to and it lasts a lot longer because you don’t sleep in it, but then you don’t sleep in it.

I fully understand where you’re coming from! I am planning on going the same route as you, and don’t want to jump into bonded hair because it just seems so complicated, and I don’t exactly feel up for the challenge right now. I’m not sure if you’ve done Susan’s program – Crowned Beautiful – but I bet that would offer all of the specifics to make the journey easier. Or going to someone to do the bonded hair for you initially would be easier too, I would think. I hate that this hair thing is such a never-ending journey!

But you’ve made a great leap by getting a wig and wearing it out! I bought a wig (a cheap one) but have never actually worn it out of the house. I’m planning on going to LA probably in a few weeks to visit the places you mentioned in your last blog post. So thanks for writing about your wig journey!

I am happy that you are moving along out of the stagnet freaked out phase a lot of us seem to go through. You are still so young and it is past time to be really happy. After all, it is really just hair 🙂 Yes, I know I know! I KNOW how lonely, embarrassing etc etc.
I wear lots of hats. Gonna get a nice topper someday. I even go out now with my hair as is. There are sooo many women that I see lately that have hairloss and they don’t hide or appear to stress over it. It’s an epidemic out here! I expect that someday soon bald women will be sexy like bald men are now.
Thank you always, from my heart for sharing with us Y. Your shares have given many of us in various phases and stages of this journey hope, compassion and laughter and for those things I am eternally grateful :)) it’s a new day and I’m happy that you are enjoying your new hair and new life and that you are getting on with it !

Any advice on wig and hairpiece shopping. Which are the most natural and long lasting. This is all very new to me.

I’ve done the bonded hair when I was young – you can do more physical activities with it but now that I’m older and don’t do much of those outdoor events – so enjoy wearing a wig and taking it off when I get home (I’m a single mom).

It’s definitely a journey, a process, no matter which path you take. Jumping right into bonding was the step for me because of the limitations you described with needing to take a wig or clip-in topper off at night. But this hasn’t been entirely easy by any means, as my recently blog would suggest. I have my lows also. Whichever path you take is going to have it’s own set of challenges. But I agree with your fiance…we should both be happy that we had the courage to take the next step, whether big or small, that truly is changing our lives. 🙂

I’m glad that things are going well overall! I think a blog weighing the pros and cons between a wig/clip-in vs. bonding is a great idea. I’ll be happy to weigh in on the bonding side of things!

I’d love to read a blog about the pros and cons of bonding vs wigs. I am one of those people that will probably leap into bonding first (and even maybe early). I am concerned though because I don’t see too many drawbacks with it and I want to know ALL of the limitations and challenges that I may be faced with.

Congratulations on taking a first step for yourself.
