I'm after some advice on wigs, these two brands in particular as I have heard about them many times, but am happy to have advice on any other brands that offer good quality human hair, are secure and can be styled in an up do. I am now on my 4th bout with alopecia in 8 years and have had to pretty much accept this is likely to be a long term condition for me. I'm only 24 and a big thing I feel I miss out on is being able to style my hair in the way these types of wigs are said to allow. But they are big investments and I really need as much information as possible. 

Firstly I want to know price ranges. Everywhere I read seems to say 'it depends on what you want' and not actually give me any idea of how much. I would want a longer style, probably brunette, with some wave if that was a choice I had. I know they are costly but I need a rough idea of how much as this is something I will have to save for. I'm still a student and live largely from my husbands income apart from some seasonal work. 

Secondly, what are people's experiences with these wigs? Do they live up to expectations? Can you style them up? Are they secure? And does the hair quality last?

Finally, specifically with the Freedom wigs, how long do they take to make? I have a problem that whilst I come from the UK, where I believe there are suppliers, my husband is an English teacher and we do placements abroad. I only spend about 2-3 summer months in the UK right now so I think that could be a problem for the process of having one of these pieces made. Does anyone know anything about this or ways round it? 

Thankyou very much for reading this.
