Profile Information:

Relationship Status:
Single
About Me:
Divorced; one child (a boy born Sept 26, 1990) who has Emanuel syndrome that is a condition with an extra chromosome 22 with a tail of a chromosome 11 attached to it. This has caused my son Aaron considerable physical and mental delays. During my divorce I began loosing patchy portions of my hair, which has since grown back and fallen out again. I now wear a vacuum wig sold through Fuller Inc. that I am ever so pleased with... comfortable and secure - it feels and looks natural. I can do anything I want to do except sleep in it as that causes unnecessary hair damage.

    Colleen, yes alopecia is an auto-immune disorder that can be triggered by things like hormones, illness, allergies and stress.

    My head is size small, too! I can buy synthetic wigs and if they are too big it's not hard to take them in. Some are actually the correct size (Rene of Paris usually fit me without alteration).

    I agree, the custom wigs are better but of course I don't wear those to the gym or out walking in the rain!
