Hi - How did it work out for you with Peggy Knight? Since you are in the area, was there a store you went to or how did you do it? Thanks for the reply, take care.

That is great to hear that you like your lace wig so much :) I'm still really enjoying mine, too. It's nice to feel pretty again. I am starting a new job in Washington DC on Monday, so I'm really looking forward to that! Hope that all is well with you and that your summer is going well.

Oh that is so exciting that you got a lace wig! I looooove mine! You are gonna love yours, too!

Good luck Mary! It will turn out wonderful I am sure!! That is great that your husband will be there with you for support :) Let me know how it goes!

Mary- I'm glad to hear that I was able to help :) It is very hard for the people in our lives to understand what we are going through; I was really depressed for a few months when my hair really started coming out, and my boyfriend wanted to help but just really couldn't understand it. I told him that the best way for me to explain was that it felt like I was truly losing a piece of myself, or a best friend. It was such a grieving process, more than I ever could have imagined. But he stuck by my side and now that I have come to terms with it, I feel a lot happier. I meant to give you the website of the lady who I got my vacuum wig from earlier, but I forgot...Her name is Karen Peterik and she is wonderful! Her website is: www.newlifehair.com. Have you met with the Peggy Knight people yet? They are great, too. Keep smiling Mary and talk to you soon.

Hi Mary! Yes, I actually had a consultation with a Peggy Knight representative, and they seem fantastic! Peggy and her reps are really friendly and helpful. I actually opted to go with a Freedom vacuum wig because there have a new silicon cap that is slightly lighter than the Peggy Knight caps. Peggy uses Freedom wigs manufacturing, but she just brands it as her own, so they are very similar. I'm sure you will love whatever you chose to go with :) Talk to you soon.

Thanks for the nice comments on my wig :) I love it! It is a Rene of Paris, full lace, 14 inch real human hair wig. I have to tape the sides, but it is really easy and very comfortable. I got it from a wonderful lady in Illinois who has a salon for hair loss patients. Let me know if you have any more questions, I hope I can help! Take care and talk to you soon :)
