I can’t wait to see your pic, which I’m sure will have the BIGGEST, HAPPIEST, HEARTFELT SMILE!!!
XOXO

@Maisie – I’m so glad this helped you to realize there are natural options because there really really are, my biggest regret is just not having done this sooner!

@Bidi – Yay for local Follea contacts! I love that quote you saw on Facebook.. how true. Please keep us posted with your own hair finding journey.

@Debbie – Thank you soooo much for sharing your extremely heartful and encouraging story. Your story brought tears to my eyes that continue to slide down my face into my chardonnay. (It seems I always have a glass of wine in my hand when I come to write on this site, part of my therapy ya know! ) I am so glad to hear you are in remission! You have such an amazing daughter and you both did such a generous and loving act by donating your hair for another. All I can say to you, is thank you for taking the time so share your story… it is so meaningful and you share such an important message… Life IS to short. That is the truth. I made mine even shorter by depriving myself of living durning my entire 20s and some of my 30s. Hiding, feeling ashamed, less than, depressed…. on and on. I alway say hair loss is a journey because it has been very much so for myself, I’ve gone through all kinds of stages in dealing with this. I’m just glad I finally got to a good part!

@Elizab – I’m so glad that I’ve given you a bit of hope and strength! This wig was quite expensive, if I recall with tax it was $ 4,500. Follea has a downloadable catalog that has prices on everything. Of my small wig collection of 3 brands, for me this is the best one, but I do have to say that Freeda (mine was around $700 from sale section ) and Milano wigs ( around $800 ) are also really great natural silky soft human hair wigs. Freeda has a large discounted section which is nice. I will have to take pics in all of them so everyone can really get a feel for the different ones. Between Freeda and Milano, I liked the Freeda better. I really think it will also depends on your personal preference and what your former hair was like, since I think we try and compare it to that the most. For my hair type, texture and color the Follea was nearly a spot on match for my former locks.

@Andi – I sent you an email on this, but I’ll post it here too for others. I did take my photos down because I want to find a better more private way to share a lot of photos with anyone of you ladies who care to see them of me and my wiggy life. This site has been my journal since 2007 and I have and continue to share my inner most thoughts and feelings, devastations and revelations and while I did blur out my face, it’s easy enough for someone who does know me to see that that is in fact me! The other day I got an email from a relative who knows I have hair loss who sent me a link to an article on this site, for ME to check out. An article I wrote! I worried they would see my pictures and realize, gosh darn it, uh this is MY site. I’m at such a good place right now I didn’t want to deal with the emotions of knowing someone who knows me will read all my posts. That’s the whole reason I’ve been able to be so honest with my life and dealing with hair loss, because I run the site anonymously. Anonymity gives you freedom. I do know how important pics are though and don’t want to hide the wig I love from view from anyone who does want to see pics, so I will most likely put up a password protected flickr page and i’ll give the password to any of you gals who care to see it.

XOXO
