The deal is I’ve tried human hair on many, many occasions and the problem I always have is they tend to tangle, and then things go horribly, horribly wrong. Humidity behind my neck, boating, etc. will cause a rat’s nest back there. So my question for you is, “How does the Follea hold up?”

I would love an honest review of this in terms of longevity, as it is an investment. I’ve worn RPG show human hair wigs that were okay….but I hated the glue situation. What is the longest you’ve gone without needed to get repairs?

I’d love to hear back from you. When I see stories like yours I am inspired by you younger generation. You look so gorgeous and I would never guess that is a wig. I am surprised at how many people are going through this because growing up I felt all alone. It started for me at age 7, screwed around with me for five years, then eventually progressed to complete body hair loss and now here I am at age 47.

Thanks again for your story!!!

Lauren, thank you for your lovely comments. Follea hair is very very nice hair – for sure. Shucks – you like the style (I’m blushing).

Bernadette, 12″ is my length, I don’t find it too long at all.

Ali, I understand about all you said, swimming, working out and sleeping. I am very OCD so I have to be able to take my hair off whenever I want or need to, it is in my head but I cannot have anything attached to it – just me.
you can definitely workout and sleep in the wig – but the harder you are on it, the less life expectancy and more repair it will need. I wear a cheaper wig to the gym – always under a buff. I have never slept in my Follea but I have napped in my other wigs.

My routine is wash my head and put on my wig. I wash my wigs myself and to date I mostly air dry them and have done no curling or straightening – I don’t think I know how but I actually want to start.
I take my wigs off every night and to this day still put them on their styro heads. I use no sprays or mousses, just shampoo, conditioner and occasionally some oil on the dry ends.
My gripper was just over $4000 American but I got slapped with the exchange (I live in Canada).

As far as dating? Yeah – hurdle I need to jump over still, sigh…

Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve been bonding for a few years now but I still don’t feel like I look normal or natural. I like being able to swim, workout, sleep, etc. though. I’d LOVE to be able to just take something off my head and feel my scalp so I’ve been considering other options, but I don’t know if I can go through with it. I’m still young-ish (30) and single, so dating and hair is always an odd topic. Can you sleep in your gripper or would you feel like you were damaging it? Can you/do you work out with it on? Can you share your routine with us? Do you take it off at night, etc? How much did it cost?

Thank you for sharing your story! <3

I was happy to hear how comfortable the Gripper was for you. The name has always made me wonder.

You look absolutely gorgeous and you and Y make me want to check out Follea more than ever. I’m currently only wearing synthetics but I do miss being able to style my hair like I used to (although, I live in the humid South so it will be nice to switch between the two).

Thank you for your story – I’m bookmarking it because I actually LOVE the style of your hair and may just use it for inspiration someday!

Lauren
