About Me:
I have androgenic alopecia, which I have had for 20 years and have been wearing wigs for 2 years. For me it has been a process of accepting my hair loss, and being comfortable in my own skin. I have come to love my wigs and I love to wear a different one each day of the week depending on my mood. I am a registered nurse and I work in a hospital with people who are very supportive. I love life and I am so blessed to have an awesome career and a wonderful family.

    Hi Cindy thanks for the friend add and glad you found this great support site. We're always looking for the 'perfect' wig, but in my experience there is no such thing. A wig is a wig is a wig...however we can get ones that still look great. My aim was to have the thinnest base possible that attached with the least amount of trouble so I could take it off each night. So, I discovered thin skin base wigs and have the hair injected into this base so that it looks like it is growing out of your own scalp. I tried the lace wigs, they were good but tangled and were a little boofy for me - I like the hair to lay flatter. Also I had to glue or tape them on and I found that was a pain in the bum when I like to take them off each night...I hate sleeping in a wig. The thin skin is a little like a suction wig but not as secure. I can get away without taping it down as it kind of sticks to the scalp. Sometimes if it's exceptionally windy I'll use a little Got2B hair gel around the front and sides which keeps it on and will wash out with soap and water. I like your profile pic, is that your own hair or a wig?

    Cindy that wig in your photos looks awesome. Is it human hair? Do you not like it?
