Yes, the pics are all me with wigs. I have some human hair and some synthetics. I wear synthetic most of the time because it's wash and wear. I like Rene of Paris wigs best -- they seem to be the highest quality synthetic. The style I like is "Brandi" which is a monofilament top (although I have to cut it about 3"). You can get them at a discount at www.wigsalon.com.
I wear false eyelashes for special occasions and when I am being photographed. I get Ardell lashes at the local variety store and trim them. I like Ardell eyelash glue in darktone, which is better than Duo for holding. Some people swear by Sherani glue which you can get online; it comes in a bottle and has a built-in applicator. I haven't found that any glue holds all day so I keep a tube in my purse in darktone (although the "clear" dries invisibly, it stays white for awhile so not good for fast touchups).
Whether or not your hair will grow back is not a question I can answer! Alopecia is unpredictable. I have many stories from many women about their experiences which I've written up in my book, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It has lots of wig and makeup tips too, and may answer a lot of your questions. You can find out more about it on my page and you can get it on Amazon.
Did that answer your questions, or do you have more? I am happy to help!
