My girls are holding up great! No issues at all and I’ve had Natalia nearly 4 months and she isn’t showing any signs or decay yet LOL Furthermore, let me tell ya, I don’t exactly baby my hair. I pretty much sling these ladies around. At night you might find them on the coffee table, over the end of the couch, plopped over my laptop or on a stack of books. I’m not a delicate “brusher” either. I’m not saying that’s right, I probably should be more careful, but that’s just how they have fit into my life. The only time I do take precautions is in washing to make sure I don’t loosen the knots with the conditioner or shampoo for that matter, but that’s it. The rest of the time, it’s ON. But, with that said I’m also not a hair stylie girl, I’ve just done nothing with my own hair for so long that I don’t care to primp my wigs with curling irons or hairspray, so I’m not over heat styling them using “product” at all. Which will help them to have a longer life overall. I’m thinking of getting a curling iron at some point to have fun with some loose barrel curls, but even when I do, do that, it will be like once in a blue moon – I don’t want to fuss with my wig too much, I just want to throw her own, get it straight on my head, brush it through and find the nearest coffee shop or bar (depending on the time of day).

Stomp your feet and start cracking the cement off those shoes… it takes time so be patient with yourself… and don’t avoid writing because you don’t want to be a downer, have you read my blog? 😉 More than half of it is me sharing my downer hair loss life I was having at any given moment, crying spells and depression… that should be my middle name LOL

Here for ya always

Best,

What a great article ! I hope the more it gets out there, more salons and physicians all over the country will see a great opportunity to make money and help women like us 🙂

Was wondering how your “girls” are holding up now that its been awhile? Someone posted about their Follea wig not lasting four months ?? But a lot of times, if you dig deeper, you find out it was posted by another wig company…surprise, surprise !

XOXOs to and all the brave women on here (esp. Lina and Electra)! Still walking with my cement shoes, asking why me instead of doing something . BUT, one day at a time, and all you women inspire me ! 🙂

I hope in time I can get to the point I feel even more comfortable in my ummm “situation” that I can be more effective in helping to raise more awareness, and understanding for women’s hair loss.

((HUGS))

I second, third, and fourth the motion that you should write a book, Y! Seriously! And I loved your quote, it spoke for every single one of us! xoxo

OH – DID I HAPPEN TO MENTION – you SHOULD WRITE A BOOK?!!! I am absolutely serious, Y – I think you have a ton to offer women who are going through this trauma (and YES it is a trauma). A couple of years ago I truly thought I was having a mental breakdown due to hair loss (well, I was) and THIS website helped me through with words of encouragement and sympathy. Sympathy is not something women with hair loss get very often – it just isn’t… Thank you again for everything you do for us……..
