    Hey Nicole,

    I got my wig from Shuly's Wigs in Brooklyn. http://shulywigs.com/ They have a South American line and a European line. My wig is the South American line, it's at least $1,000 less than the European version and the hair is great. Its not coarse but at the same time it is thick and able to hold a curl. I do believe they ship orders if you call them. What makes my wig more natural for me is the "french silk" or "french part" Its the fake skin color scalp that can be parted in any direction. I have hair underneath my wig so the monofilament tops, just sheer top, didn't work because my dark hair showed through making it look like I had no scalp. I think it also is made to be less dense on top which helps with it looking natural. I don't have a lace front wig - I chose the side bang instead which I can sill bobby pin to the side and it looks natural. Hope this helps!

    Hi Nicolle your story is just like mine. Last year I had the same diagnosis. My hair fell out in a matter of 8 weeks! I have had no regrowth but feel much better with switching to amour thyroid. I keep hoping that remission will happen but.... I am just thankful I am feeling better
