I’ll friend you on the network. I’m Electra there too. Curtis has a colorist who is doing the highlights. Curtis is going to supervise and we discussed the color for the highlights in detail. Follea can do color but I heard their colorist is out of town. I think the clips will be ok. I’m not sure if this piece will be a long term option but I thought I would give it a go. I will probably play around with where I put the clips as I have scarring alopecia and inflammation on the scalp. I’ll take pics when I get it next week and when I get it cut in. It will be a darker color than I have been in the past, but I haven’t really been blond in awhile. Crossing my fingers

Sounds cute! I was looking at the same color but need a slightly longer length I think. I like the idea of adding the highlights. Do you get that done after you purchase it or does Jentis do that for you? Did you feel like the clips were comfortable when you were trying it on?

Yes, I live in Atlanta. Let’s see those pics when you get your gorgeous topper! I’m excited to see it. Are you on the network? I’m “Pendy” out there.

I picked a topper I tried. 8 inch 5030 large base. . I just need to get it highlighted. When it gets back it needs a little trim to match my bob cut. I’ll post pics when it’s ready.

I feel good knowing I have a plan. If I loose more hair Ill get a wig and I already know what I like.

Are you in ATL? We live in Bham but visit Atl for fun. Made a weekend trip of it.

Electra- I went to meet with Curtis at Jentis this summer (loved him t00!) and tried on that same topper! What length did you get? Are you doing clip in? How exciting for you! I hope we get to see your new hair soon! How long until it arrives?

@Marsha – Thank you so much for sharing your story, I’m so glad you have made the leap to wearing wigs and aren’t looking back! Congratulations!

@Lina – I’m so done with being locked away, done with feeling like Sh*t all the time, I want to enjoy this life and I’m going to FULLY embrace all the wonderfulness that wigs can offer, offering me versatility in changing my look whenever I want. To do THAT, I have to be pretty open about my wig wearing. I mean people may not notice my hair grows and shrinks 4 inches from day to day when I wear Anya or Natalia because they are the same color, but surely (you’d think) they’d notice if I was blonde or red. Questions asked, will be answered accordingly
IT’S A WIG! 🙂

@Mycurlyhair – I don’t sleep in my wigs, in fact I only slept in my wig once and that was a few days ago because we had overnight house guests and these people were not “let in” on my wig wearing and since I do live in California, there are earthquakes and I did have concerns that on the off chance there was a little shaker in the middle of the night that we all would have convene in the hallway and I’d be sans wig! OMG, I can’t even imagine the shocked look that would appear on their faces.. “Oh this” as I point to my very short hair, “Oh I gave myself a haircut before I went to bed,” “What? you dont’ do the same?” Ughhhh no way, so I just slept in Anya, It’s not that comfortable and I definitely won’t make a habit out of it, it’s also not good for the hair. But from time to time if I have to do it to make myself feel more comfortable, I will

@Angie T – I’m actually going to cut more off in a few weeks, get it down to the shortest I feel comfortable with, it’s freeing to have it out of the way. I love it. You’ll get the “balls” 🙂 soon, believe and you will achieve, and if that doesn’t work get drunk and find liquid courage. Always works for me.. heeee heeee!

@Brenda – I think there comes a time when it just gets tiring to keep fighting and holding on to the hair that is determined to part ways with us. Even if my hair stopped falling out today and I never lost another strand, I wouldn’t be happy with what I have, and the only way for me to get the hair I want is to buy it ! And so I will. I’ve made peace with it and now I just want to find the courage to just be more out there about it, talk about it in “real life” more. Yes I wear hair and it isn’t because my hair fell out from “stress” it’s because I have stinky hair genes and have female pattern baldness. Check please!

I think acceptance in hair wearing comes at different speeds for different people and I think you’re well on your way. If you wear wigs all the time anyways, and you’re willing to part with the your bio locks, I’d definitely recommend a short hair cut. But you really have to be comfortable with the idea of it. What I like about it, is not seeing as much shedding and just not having the crap dry spider webby wisps floating around my neck and just irking me throughout the day. My wigs also wear better now that it’s clipped away. If the meds worked for me to give me the hair I needed to feel good about myself, I would have continued on, despite whatever side effects would have come my way down the line. But while it may have slowed the progression, my hair has reached the point of no return, so I’ve decided to show it the exit door 🙂

@Caseys – Congrats on your new wig from Flora! I have never tried on any of her pieces but I do know a lot of women love her hair. I don’t make a ponytail, actually I never did, when wearing a wig anyways, and my WiGrip stays on just fine. I actually much prefer the way my wigs lay better now that my hair is really short. I was committed to never leaving the house without my wig again, so I was willing to take a chance on cutting off my hair because it isn’t life-usable to me anymore. I’m not going anywhere in my bio hair, not even walking the dog, so snip snip and I’m going to get more snips soon. But you might want to give yourself some time to adjust to wearing your wig in the way you are now since you do feel that your little ponytail is helping you don’t want to do anything to derail you from being a happy wig wearer and making this transition easier on yourself. I had 4 months of full time wig wearing before I was ready to cut off my bio hair, so take your time and do it (if you want) when you feel comfortable and confident that you are ready for it.

@Lina – Hi again 🙂 I nearly pissed my pants when I read your line of being caught in a wind where you think you saw Dorothy and Toto pass by! LOL Cheers to future Meadow Skips!

Much love to all.. and big hugs!

I’m Lina. I understand how difficult this transition is but it was literally eating at me, enough and it is so amazing to have amazing hair! Just want to tell you, I shaved my head 1/8″ because the shedding was so bad, I needed that anxiety to stop, it was giving me chest palpations. 100% you do not need your ponytail to anchor the wigrip – I use a wig grip and I have been caught in some kind of wind (I think I saw Dorothy and Toto pass me by) that sucker stays on. I would be lost without it. Hope this helps. I’m only 3 months in and it gets better with each passing week. Not skipping in a meadow, falalalala’ing but much better.
Hugs to you.
