Hi! Rose-Marie tipped me about your beautiful photo with glitter on your head. Loved it!!
I must also say that I recognized myself alot in your story about your youth. It's wonderful that you have found your place as a model. :-)

Hi Anna how are you doing? Nicoles Freedom wig arrived this week. It is beautiful! Nicole is getting alot more comfortable with putting it on. We are off to Aucks on Thursday to get it cut which is great because then she will have a week of the holidays to get used to wearing it. Will post some pics when it is all cut. Hope all is good with you. Take care. Sharon

Hi Anna.
Thanks for the link to Princess Charlotte Alopecia Foundation. I never knew it existed. I also saw in your blog, the bit about an allowance for Aussies with Alopecia. Very interesting.
Thanks again;
Mike.

So Anna, once this book is done...I can come there for a book signing, right? It's going good Anna, you all are going to be so proud. The goal was to inspire others and this is going to do all of that and more.

I have something too that I want to run past you...an idea I have and want you to be a part of it.

oh my god how exciting! How did your exam go? I've just been working, nothing really interesting. Parties lined up for you then, final exam parties! Yeeew! congrats. I've got a engagement party 2moro night which is the first kinda formal/dinner party event that i;m going to with my new hair. I'm going to curl it to make it ringlety.. Pretty excited. I love getting all dolled up now. Never used to. I would take me about 2 hours before this wig coz i'd be so stressed and concerned. Now, clint loves it coz 10 mins i'm out the door haha. When you coming back out here? xx

Nov 6, 2008
Liesl

Oh yeah and i'm not so anal and protective of it now. I still do treat it with care but yeah it's my hair now. Although clint yells at me if it's lying on the floor, not on its stand coz he thinks i should treat it like he treats his surf boards. I told him i won;'t be kissing it a night lol. Surfers, they do my head in....make me vomet lol.

Anna - love your story and your spirit. my wife, who's a kiwi herself and a well-informed publicist (even tho she has'nt lived there for 15 years), immediately knew who you were. i'm trying to find a way to take our story even further out in to the mainstream here in the States and you would certainly be such a positive part of that story. hope our paths cross one day....

Hi Fitzy, I am new to this site so don't know if i am doing this right. I am also new to alopecia. I understand you wear freedom wigs and would like an honest opinion on how you find them. I am after a wig that will let me lead the type of life i had before i lost my hair eg very sporty.
hope you can help.

Hi Fitzy,
I'm researching the art of undercutting wigs/cutting baby hairs around the perimeter, and have heard that you've found a skilled hairdresser that does a fabulous job on your wigs, so that they hide the edges when you wear your hair up or when it blows off your face. Are you happy with the results? I don't suppose you'd consider sharing some photos of the baby hair?

It's not a practise that I've come across in the UK - not even a high profile, award winning, celebrity-turned-wig-styling-expert knows the importance of cutting baby hairs. (Just another critical difference between styling bio hair and wigs.) But I'd love to educate him! :-)

Best wishes,
Jaye

Hi Anna, just seconding Jaye's message down there, is there any chance you could email me the pics of the baby hairs (undercut) cut into your wig? I should be receiving my first Freedom in the next few weeks and am slightly worried about getting it cut!! Thanks. my email addy is hayleylouiseburton@gmail.com
Love Hayley xxx

Hey Anna,
Just wondering how to follow up on that Aussie 70 dollar a week grant thingy? It was the first I heard when I read it on your page. Geez, 70bucks a week would help with all the eyebrows and liners!! ;)

Is Matthew on here (The guy from Princess Charlotte alopecia foundation)? If so, i might get in touch with him and see if he know smore about it.
Thanks,
Nadia xox

Hey i have a question. Would you recommend getting a freedom wig if i do sports? or would it be too hot.

thanks,

Yeah, that does help! thank you. Im still debating whether or not to get one because i still have enough hair to hide my bald parts but i dont know how much longer i can keep that up.

Hi

I am interested in getting a Freedom wig. I was wondering how easy they are to style. Can you tie your hair up in a ponytail? Most of the pictures I've seen of them people tend to have their hair down.

Fitzy- Thanks for the add! You are absolutely stunning and give me a lot of courage in my own alopecia journey. Thanks for the inspiration :)

Hi it's me again!
Small World."Alopecia World"I have had such a great time getting to meet people who have travelled the same road..the same journey.
The same adversity and anguish...........now there is light at the end of the tunnel...and I'm not as alone as I thoughI was for so many years.
See my new freedom wig!
Although..I have to shave every day in order to wear it.So I simply "don't"
However...this wig is unbelievable and yes I would recommend it..if anyone feels that they want a change.
Not only is it pretty..it feels a whole lot better than the wigs made for people with hair."FOR REAL"
