Hi Lynn,
Thanks for the message and AW is a great place to share the ups and downs of Alopecia.
I've worn Vacuums for 23 years but I have only had 5 wigs made in all that time. I try to make them last as long as possible (the one I wear most of the time at the moment is over 5 years old, it's had one repair done nearly 3 years ago and is still in good condition). So the cost over the years would work out to about the same as other wigs (even with allowing for repairs and coloring).
It must have been challenging living overseas where there was no hairdresser and it looks like you were in quite a hot part of the world too!
Take care
Cheryl :)
Hi Lynn, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.
Hi Lynn,
Thanks for your kind comment. I hope you are doing okay. Amanda just started school and is doing okay. I know she wishes people would stop asking her whats wrong with her hair. I always tell her its what makes her special to be a little different than everyone else. Talk to you soon.

Welcome Lynn. This is a great place to meet others like yourself and also get all the information you might like on new products etc. Like yourself I have had AU since I was very small.
Tracy and Amanda
How are you?
