@Mycurlyhair – I have androgenetic alopecia, aka female pattern hair loss. Up until yesterday the only people that knew I wore a wig was my parents and 2 close friends. As of yesterday I decided to include my brothers in on this little secret I’ve been keeping. I have no comfort problems at all, and my own hair is pretty thin (Albeit still enough that I could wear ponytail out of the house and not draw any odd stares) so it doesn’t cause me any discomfort being under my wigs. If i had a lot of hair still it might make it bulkier which could possibly be hotter and perhaps cause some discomfort.

@Suki – 🙂 Indeed, knowledge IS power

@lizzib4u – I think getting used to wearing a wig definitely takes time, but if you have the right wig for you I think that duration of time will be a lot less than if you had a wig you were forcing to try to make it work. We fight enough with our own bio hair, we shouldn’t have to fight with the hair we buy. I know what you are talking bout in regards to a wig having too much hair. The wigs I wear are a very light type density which I love. Some companies pack way too much hair into their wigs, but even if you do get a wig that is too voluminous you can always take it to a skilled wig stylist and have it professionally thinned out. A regular hair stylist would be the right person to take the hair too, it has to be someone who knows how to work with wigs. My bio hair isn’t long (slightly past shoulders I think) and it isn’t that thick, I think it just works well with the wigs I have. I wasn’t sure what your last question meant by options for different thickness of hair (?) please explain and I’ll try to assist the best I can.

@phillygrl – When you have questions feel free to bombard away! 🙂 I know how scary and confusing the process is, I’m still learning myself. Yes that pic is 2 of my girls on my nightstand, was to lazy to get their heads out LOL

@EllieBrooknix – I think if you don’t wait to long to detach and reattach bonded hair that it wouldn’t be a smelly issue, you probably are hearing stories of people that go 30+ days before they take their unit off to rebond. If / when I bond, I will put myself on a 7-10 detach / reattach cycle. But for now I do enjoy just pulling my hair off at will!

@Jen – Congrats on your new WiGrip, they are fantastic! I think it’s wonderful that you are preparing yourself and arming yourself with the things you’ll need to make your wig wearing life a reality and easier transition. Wearing a wig has changed my life for the better, my only regret is not having made this choice sooner!

@Tania – I soooo feel you on the downside to wigs being having to take off your hair when all you want to do is wear it 24/7. I actually wear my wig at home MOST of the time, I don’t wear it at some points of the day sometimes, like on a major house cleaning day. But I’m home now, on the couch and my wig is comfortably on my head, I typically put it on very first thing in the morning and take it off around 7-8pm if I’m not going out anymore for the day. I think scarfs are great and look amazing, I’ve seen them tied in so many amazing ways, I have no idea how to tie a scarf, I can only tie it in the way that women tie a bandana to clean house LOL Not my forte for sure.

XOXO
