Rosy, question...in one picture your daughter has a very light blonde short wig. Now how did that color come about if it wasn't processed and lightened? Also, Chris and Rosy...I was just on the site by Freeda. She has some Discontinued styles and the prices are really really reasonable. I would like to buy a reasonably priced HH wig, so I can see how it is to wear one, take care of one, etc. without going through the expense of paying top dollar and finding out I bit off more than I could chew....and be sorry. And out a bunch of money. Would both of you feel I would be wasting my money buying something that reasonably priced? Also, Fortune has some that are reasonable as well. They seem to be good quality.

I have been in the hair replacement business and a hair stylist for many years now and there are a few things I wish women would understand.
1. There is no magic hairpiece that work for every situation.
2. In all likelihood whatever piece is chosen will need good professional cut-in and possibly care.
3. Human hair is very temperamental and unless one is happy with the un-kept look, it needs styling every time it is exposed to humidity.
4 Lace wigs are fragile and fall apart easily. They are only good on hairless scalps or scalps that have VERY little hair. If there is too much hair on the scalp they slip and can't be pinned through the cap, only around the edges.
5. Bonding should ONLY be used in cases where there is maximum hair loss (98%) and the hair has NO chance of growing back. Bonding causes more hair loss.
6. Good quality human hair can not be found at the $400-$500 range. Good quality hair is very hard to find and is mostly used in the entertainment industry. The majority of human hair comes from Asia and India, is chemically processed to attain any color other than black or dark brown and therefor already compromised. Any seller that tells you it can be colored or permed is unfamiliar with the damage these chemicals do to the hair. Lightening hair that has been previously dyed is VERY hard on the hair and will damage easily.
7. 98% of the people in this business will either lie, or are not knowledgeable of hair structure and will make claims that are untrue.
8. Even the very best hair systems will not look 100% natural. There is always a telltale line that can be camouflaged but never truly looks like the hair is growing from the scalp. Lace fronts look great until one gets make up or dirt in them, and then they show. They are VERY difficult to clean once they are compromised.

I am very sorry to sound so negative, but it pains me to see promises made that I know can not be kept. I love wigs and could care less if someone knows, I truly wish others could feel this way. But I also hate to see women (and men) spend money only to be unhappy because someone promised them the impossible. Pictures do not tell the whole story...

hi lexi,

i get it from hair4head.com mine is a superfine swiss lace topper 14 inches long European hair £399.I had to make a template as it was custom made but i know they will also copy your existing wig for the same type of price whatever its base.

lovemyhair, where do you get your full lace wigs, and price? What color hair do you have? Mine is very light blonde, and that is often the problem - not seeing any real decent blonde shades, and really nothing in HH lace wigs, and I would want something that I didnt need tape or glue.

hi,
i started off with full french lace wigs as the lace is stronger and thicker so easier for a novice to deal with.i eventually settled on superfine swiss lace as its more undetectable and you cant feel it on my scalp.Both are transparent though and dissapear on the skin i think as long as you use lace release to release the tape the lace wont tear easily.

Hi !

This channel on Youtube ( Dittoschi) has a lot of wig videos. Her videos helped me pick out more realisitic looking wigs. She shows wigs that run 35 dollars to 500. Here is her Youtube channel Youtube.com/Dittoschi . I've since purchased 3 wigs she showed and love all of them. One is the Rene of Paris Tori, 2nd is by Revlon Scorpio and the latest is made by Gabor called the Premium wig. Thought I would let everyone know.

Hey Christine. I was once in your shoes when I used to wear regular wigs & had some patches of hair. When I was at this post, I shaved all my hair off what little bit I did have. I can say that it was bittersweet because I felt relieved & a little sad all at the same time. I still had the problem with the wigs fitting properly, mostly because I had a small head. I would recommend for your to look into the full lace or lace front systems. You can have these systems customized to fit your head & the style you want. You will also have the option to go for a glueless system or a system that can be bonded to your head. I currently wear a lace system that can either be bonded or not. I suggest you do some research to see if this is something that you would be interested in. I can tell you that the lace systems have changed my life and helped in regaining my confidence.

I'm getting to that I think I might need a wig soon phase, I was there about 6 yrs ago, and bought one that matched my prior hair color and style I've sinced changed my cut and color, and feel like things are getting really bad again. I didn't have much luck with the first wig, It hurt my head (too tight?) and would slip up in the back, I guess because I was so bald back there, and still had about a third of my hair still on top, not really sure which kind to buy, and how to stop it from slipping up, and what about the heat? sorry for so many fundamental questions, but I'm pretty new to this. I think that if it get so bad this time I'll shave the rest, would that help with the wig being more comfortable? I'm so tired of all this, pretty depressed right now, and want to be prepared for what lies ahead. Thanks all:)

Alyce Jayne Martin I note that you wear a vacuum wig but are considering a Gripper. Do you need to have some hair to wear a gripper?
