Hello!
I am anticipating shopping for a wig in the upcoming months and I am not sure where to start. Are there any good references for this out there . . . Wig Buying for Dummies? :) I have some basic questions already if anyone would be willing to help out . . .
What is the difference between a skin top and lace top wig? Is one better than the other?
Is it better to have human hair, synthetic hair, or a combination of both?
How long can I expect a wig to last?
How long can I wear a wig before taking it off - a day, a couple days, a week?
Are there any good brands or rally bad brands? I saw on one warehouse site some wigs for $1000 and some for $200 - they all looked the same to me (but who can tell from a picture?!?!). If I buy a wig for $200, am I more or less guarenteed to not look good/realistic?
I have androgenetic alopecia and am balding a lot on the side and top of my head - I am planning to shave before too long - I know about vaccum wigs, but those are way too spendy for now. Can I wear normal wigs without shaving it all off?
Sorry for so many questions, but I really appreciate your help!!!
