Wigs in the wind

Hello all, thank you for being here you have helped me through my recent alopecia. I started losing my hair about 3 years ago. I thought it was just a few major life events and stress. But it is not coming back. So I have my first topper. It is great. It was a long road getting here though. But I'm glad I'm here. I'm going to try on a Follea wig in a couple weeks. I've read into Freedom wigs and others. But was wondering which is best for an outdoor active windy lifestyle. If the wind blows my hair from behind I would hate the wefts to show. I'm paranoid! I think the most expensive Follea, lifestyle, would work. But it's costly. Anyone have any help or comments? Thank you all so much

I have just started wearing full lace wigs. Freedom and Follea are too cost prohibitive for me at present. I was going to a salon that had a lace front/point bonding in the back, but at $3500 to replace the system plus upkeep, it would be just like buying a Freedom and Follea unit (which wouldn't help my wallet). There is a bit of a learning curve, but if you look up "how to wear a full lace wig" on You Tube, you can get a lot of good tips. Hair Direct also has some tutorials as well. With the full lace, it looks like the hair is coming out of your head and there's no tracks to see when the wind blows. HTH!

I now have a Follea (this is my second bout with AA, I had a full regrowth for about 1.5 years between the remissions), but with my synthetic wigs, one is a lace cap the other is not. I don't worry too much, but a lace front wig seems to do the trick. I subscribe to the three foot rule - over three feet away, no one should be able to tell, and if they're inside of three feet, you should know them well enough ;)
