<p>I am interested in the Gripper can you tell me if you still like it and how did you go about getting fitted, haircut etc. I do have a great salon that has cut in the past because the wigs are too much for me.</p>

<p>Did you hear back? I am interested in the Gripper as well. Or a hair piece that looks like my real hair and is not so much hair.</p>

Hi Liz. This is Shelly from Connecticut. I saw your post on Alocpecia World and it caught my interest as I am looking into purchasing the gripper secure. I see you have had it since the end of May. Can you tell me what your thoughts are since you have now had it for a while? I'm anxious about the cost so want to be sure it's the right piece. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Liz,<br />
I just received my Gripper from Peggy Knight Solutions. I live in a hot climate myself and it is so nice and cool. I have only worn vacuums for the past 12-15 years so this is quite a nice change for me - it is so much cooler than the vacuum. I purchased a 12" inch piece with extra density so that added a little more to the cost so it came to about $4k. The hair is gorgeous, and the cap inside has some silicone around it that keeps it secure. It was costly for me , but no more expensive…

Thank you for the reply! I have tried the RW wig in Upstage a hand tied cap and loved it. I had to have it trimmed though as my length falls somewhere around 1 to 2 inches below my jaw. I can't wear too long hair. Does not work on my face too well. I also tried the Gabor Next in Prodigy. But the hair seems rough to me. I want a look that flies under the radar so to speak. I want it to look nice but not extraordinary. If I get too many compliments I worry I look wiggy...my husband says I get…

I bought a human hair wig. But when I got it it was not what I had hoped. I can't find anyone who will cut it. I LOVED how it felt though. So soft and slightly wavy. When I had hair and before the grey's got me it was deep reddish brown and had a slight wave. I still look for colors that look lighter warm brown with highlights approximating grey. Ash blond. I will look at the RW Applause. I am not too talented in the hair fixing though. My daughter would despair that I could never manage french braids or blow dry help for her.. It looks the right length and the body part seems OK. Thanks again!

I think that if you are looking for European hair then the Gripper is a good bet . If you are looking to spend a lot less money I could give you 2 suggestions in the US-one is European hair but not a gripper-more a mono top with wefted sides and back-but not at all heavy and not a lot of heavy density.<br />
<br />
The other is a lace with thin skin and Indian hair. I am a bit older than you and tend to wear my hair in a short style. Are you looking for long or short, sleek or with body? Send me a private…

I also bought the hand tied RW Applause, which is precut short and has Asian hair. At Namebrands it came in at about $390. The cap is amazing because it is hand tied, and it is also not dense or heavy so very comfortable in hot weather.(I have already had some hot days in Washington)<br />
<br />
But the hair is Asian, non Remy so it falls into the category of "having body".When you set it on rollers the style stays firmly in those waves, but putting wave or style in with heat like a blow dryer or hot iron seems less successful. I have noticed that before with processed Asian hair. So perhaps not for you because you are in the business world all day and not switching between wigs and maybe the hair is not soft enough (or long enough) to be appropriate.<br />
<br />
Also at less expense than the gripper-in the range of $2,000 are the companies in New York like Flora and Clarys-have you decided not to try that kind of long distance shopping?
