Help ordering a human hair wig from China

This message is for anyone that orders from China. I see Sue T does, Lexis gam gam and Leonore. Maybe one or all of you could weigh in.

After dealing with aga since my late teens and now in my early 40's I would like to use some supplemental hair.

Currently I have ordered a hh topper with clips from China and am now interested in buying a full wig from China. I wonder if you could help me with what I should be asking for.

My topper is hh, lace front with a silk top. I don't want to have to bond or tape. I would be willing to bond at the front if I have to.

I see some of you use thinskin around perimeter. Would this stay on my head even if I have a lot of hair around the perimeter? Or should I be asking for a cap with clips/combs?

Thanks for any help you can give me. PM me if you would like.

Thinskin will only adhere to bare skin. If you want a thin skin perimeter wig you should add an inch  to the nape to hairline  measurement in order to get a slight overlap. about half inch of thin skin passed in front of your natural hairline should be enough to hold the wig on securely. If you have plenty of hair on top of the scalp you might also consider specifying a silk top to get a natural looking parting

Thanks Sue T. I have a lot of hair on the sides and back so I think clips or combs and a strap at the back that's adjustable would work fine for me. I have just ordered a topper from China with a silk top and lace front so I will see how that works out for me and I will go from there. Do you have any cv's that you prefer??

I purchas custom sized units with lace front and stretch lace back with adjustable straps, and I sew in Dermafix, which will adhere if you have hair. When I brush the hair back, I also use GotToBe Glued to keep the front hairline down.

Where do you buy your dermafix?

Thanks so much Lori. I think combs and adjustable straps would work well for me as well. I am not opposed to bonding the front so thank you for the glue recommendation.

Lori, I checked out your custom wig source but lost the link! who is it again, please? I got a little overwhelmed with all the choices. Is there a tutorial on what it all means? I've been a freedom customer but am not planning to order from them again.

thanks!

Orderwigsonline.com is the vendor I use. They do nice work, as long as you don't want blonde.

I have found that clips work best for someone who has hair depending on the texture of the hair and the hair to skin ratio (you don't want to use clips if you don't have enough hair to clip to). You can also always adjust the size and place of the clips if needed. I recommend using clips that have straight teeth.
