Hey Debby! I have several different wigs. The one in this photo is human hair and it was custom made for me, but I also wear synthetic (for example, the one in the photos of me with the little boy). I get my synthetics online -- I like Rene of Paris best. I buy "Brandi" and cut bangs and about 3" off the length. Mono top is good for me because I have no hair at all and mono lets my scalp show though so it looks like hair is growing out of my head. Sythetics are great for when you are traveling, doing anything that makes you sweaty or dirty (they are wash and wear), and for going out in the rain (since they don't go flat or frizzy in the damp). There is a lot more info in my book, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" You might want to get a copy -- lots of fun to read, too! You can find out more on my page and if you're interested, get it online at Amazon.com.
Meanwhile, Hugs!
