As a mother of a daughter with AU and a legislative member for NAAF my passion is to help others not make the same mistakes I did when my daughter first started wearing wigs. If I had known then, what I know now, I would have a few more dollars in my pocket. I want to invite anyone to friend me with questions about what they should be looking for when they go to a salon. Too many times we walk in without knowing much and find out that the purchase we made was not cracked up to what it should be. We are left feeling taken advantage of and going back to the salon to revisit that purchase does no good. I have spent the last 5 years studying and dissecting wigs for those with alopecia and I want to help. Helping others is what helps me accept my daughter's condition. Maybe this happened to her for a reason, I do not know, but I am going to respond to each and every one of you as though you were my family and give you the advice that I wish someone had given me.

I commend you for being so persevering to find wigs for your daughter.  She is lucky to have you as her mom.  I often wonder, how is it that you can just up and go to China to research wigs?  I don't think most of us in the same situation could do that, having jobs and responsibilities at home.  Oh to be able to do that and see what it out there, and buy directly from them.  Ordering online is such a crap shoot.  From colors to hair quality.  Hair loss is so difficult !!!

Lexi, Thank you for your kind words. Yes, you are right only a very few can venture to China the way we did. It took over a year to arrange that kind of trip and make the contacts to be able to enter the factories. If you ever need any help or advice about wig purchases I am here for you. I am always here to help you with wigs relative to advice or purchasing if you should desire. All my best and anything I can do to help I am here. Lisa

I agree with you Lexi!!

You certainly look lovely and natural. May I ask what brand wigs you are wearing. You mentioned Fiber, are they synthetic. My daughter wears synthetic when she works out or is on the run. Thank you for sharing. All my best. 

Alo-Mom:  I am so thankful you first wrote out here that you had "cracked the code" as that's what got my attention. Thank you for all the time/attention to detail and constant correspondence in the process of getting me my FIRST breathable human hair piece that DOES NOT TANGLE. 

Girls:  I don't know if I was Lisa's first customer after her daughter, but I can tell you, she's in it for the right reasons and the finished product was all I hoped for. Custom made for a custom fit, hand tied, double knotted (less hair loss as you go) the right density and color. Lisa stayed in constant communication with me through the ordering process and then the wait-for-the-China-factory process. The hair is the perfect color. I wore it to the beach last week. SO NICE NOT TO SWEAT!!! I was blown away to get this 100% unprocessed cuticle intact human hair wig that does not tangle! The price? For me it was $840. I have been trying on the FOLLEA  ones: $5-6 thousand dollars!!! No way. I do own two FREEDOM pieces which were $4,695 each. They are beautiful. Just too hot and super expensive. These pieces from Lisa will give you hope! You can have a custom made HH piece, any style, for a great price. 

P.S.  First thing I asked Lisa was "What? You went to China?"  She did what I have always wanted to do. Find a quality piece for a good price. I am over the moon happy with mine. Go for it Girls !!!

Hi Rose thanks for sharing. You you please tell me how I can contact them???? Really appreciate it. Thanks
