Hi Michelle! I am Donna! How are you? Your family is beautiful! I have two little boys. Isnt being a mom the best? Your wig in your photos is just beautiful! Do you mind telling me what type it is and where you got it from? Thanks so much for the information! :)
How are you going? I see you're getting a freedom wig soon - I wear one and think they're fantastic! But it can be so long to wait to get it....
I'm an Aussie too, from Melbourne, but living in Canada for the moment. Good to see another Aussie here!
I'm wearing a wig in my photos on this site, I've always worn a wig when my hair has fallen out... I can't go without one I feel too self-conscience. The Freedom ones sounds great, I've never had one of them before, you can basically do anything in them. The ones at Starkles are ok, I guess I go there because it's the only wig place I know in Brisbane, I've been to a wig place on the Gold Coast but I didn't really like any of their styles, I don't get longs ones any more because they knot up easily and the friction from your clothes means they don't last long... I usually get a new one every 8 months, that's about as long as they seem to last.
I get my wigs from Starkles in the Myer Centre in the city. I love the Freedom wigs but you have to be totally bald or close shave your head to be able to wear them. Do you wear a wig at the moment?
Hi Michelle, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder
Hi Michelle,
I know how you feel. I had patchy spots for about 10 years and then it went into universalis. You'll find a lot of support here! I wanted to say hello and see how you are doing today.

I live in Brisbane, where abouts do you live? It's interesting to see other Australians here, not many around. Welcome :-)
