I wore my hair down (as in not in a ponytail with tons of hairspray and grips) to the office the other day, and with no hair piece. I had to scrape back the top a bit and grip that back so it offered a bit more cover on the back. I was really worried as it felt so thin on the back, but my colleague (who has seen my hairloss from the worst period) assured me it was fine.



I've also booked in to a normal hair salon to have my haircut before my holiday to Tenerife, rather than going and… Continue

so since I got a new hair piece on NHS (£158, compared with the £400 one I had last year that my parents paid for). The old one was looking a bit outdated so I got a fringe put in it, but the girl at the salon had to cut a small fringe into my own hair to thicken it up and make it look more natural.



I love the look but its making my head so greasy and hot, and im worried the front clip will make my hairline really thin. Its a pain because before i was tying my hair up all the time to… Continue

Well I haven't posted for a while.



Good news:



The patch on the back of my head has grown back pretty well - hair is quite short and thin still but its better than the glaring white patch of head that was there before, easier to hide now.



I went for my fitting at another wig salon through the NHS (so I'm paying £158 instead of the £400 I paid for the first piece) and got all measurements taken etc but it won't be ready until end of October probably (after my… Continue

This is my new hair this morning. It's a synthetic top piece, whereas my one before was human hair and cost £400. his one has more shape. I'm a little concerned though as the front layers are really "choppy" and i can't straighten it as its not heat resistant - will they flatter over time? Also my boyfriend commented that it's really shiny - does this also fade?



I need to move one of the clips as at the mo it sits on my big… Continue

Just as it's starting to grow back on the hand sized patch on the top/back of my head, I've gotten another smaller patch right in the middle of my parting. Grrrr. I'm covering it up with mane spray at the moment, but worried its getting bigger. I'm getting more limited with the styles I can have my hair, and I have to tie it up at all times otherwise it shows which isn't great.



If it gets worse I don't know what I'll do. I don't have the face to pull off short hair/bald really, my… Continue

After 2 weeks of waiting and £130, my new hair top piece should arrive tomorrow. I'm quite excited but don't want to get my hopes up too much as I had to go on a description and image on a website and guess the colour so fingers cross it's suitable, I'd hate to have to send it back and wait all over again. My human hair one is really ratty round the ends now (I've had it since December 2009) and I'm sick of only having one style.



I can't find a big range of just top pieces (the ones… Continue

Hi Guys



I found this site through twitter and thought I'd give it a go. Friends/family are understanding to a point, but noone will truly be able to know what you are going through unless they have been through itthemselves - hence why I am here.



It's actually painfully ironic - as a child I had trichotillamania - I pulled out my own hair and had to wear a wig when I was 8 years old. As I got older, my confidence grew, I had good friends, so by the time I got to college I… Continue
