Feeling very alone and lost

i just wish i had someone in my life that can teach me about wigs and things of that sort because i need to start wearing one soon. I just feel so lost and alone, i wish no one else had to go through this but i wish there was some one who can help me. I dont anything about wigs, its so overwhelming and seems so complicated. My hair is really thing and i dont have much of it left.
if someone would just give me some tips i would greatly appreciate it

Also Ana I have bought the book of : Leslie Ann Butler. She is a member here also. Her book is called: If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep dancing! It was awarded Book of the Year by Foreword Magazine. Think you'll get a lot of help from these two sources as well as everyone here. This is a wonderful place to come to.

Ana,

The best advice I can think of is to spend the extra money to go to a full service wig salon, where they style the wig to exactly the way you like it. There is a world of difference between that and the "ready-to-wear" variety. Also, check with your insurance company because many of them cover the expense if you get a doctor's letter stating you have alopecia. My wigs are about $500. If you happen to be in Massachusetts there is a great place I can recommend. I've been dealing with this thing since I was three years old...it gets easier.

Ana, I hope you see my post. When I started developing alopecia about 10 or gosh 11 years ago - I joined a yahoo support group called "wig support". Thank God I found it! I found so much information and so many helpful members. Kathy Tonkin still runs the group which has moved from yahoo to msn.com to now http://www.wigsupport.com/forums/ . There is a wealth of info for you. Good luck.

It is overwhelming in the beginning but things will improve over time. PM if you need ....

Hi ana
I am all alone too.... dammit LOL ha!
I am not sure if you want to start out with synthetics or lace front/ human hair.
Anyways, go to www.wigsupport, and read every thread lol, ask a thousand questions, there is a heap of info there.
Also go to voguewigs.com, they have good reviews on most wigs, plus a youtube demo.
It is very overwhelming I know!
