Back of Wigs
I was talking to my boyfriend about not being able to find a wig yesterday in the store that I liked. He came out with some things he may have been brave enough to say, yet he is the only one I know who would dare say it to me...
He said not to go for styles too short as often you can see at the back of the wig the strips where it is all attached. It took my bit by surprise and made me relook at different wigs I had seen on line.
I was always worried about the tops of wigs, I actually hate the mono tops as to me they always seemed too fake not natural. I always worried about the parts I could actually see, and I guess in ways ignored the parts I couldn't see very well, i.e. the back.
It made me wonder how long he had felt that way, that from behind he felt was the most obvious part of telling it was a wig and not how I feared the top.
He is also totally against me buying on line, what if it doesn't suit me, what if the colour is wrong? But I know he will not actually come with me to choose the wig, he knows at the end of the day it is up to me to pick what I am happy with. But all these issues...
I can't decide what to do for the best. I know a really good place near to where I used to live, but the cost of the train to go, and maybe the cost to go back a second time if the one I like the look of is out of stock, I could put towards a better one...
Then my next option is to bite the huge bullet and confide with a girl I work with or something and take her with me to be true full... but it is a lot to ask... I just wish I could find someone/a store who will totally understand how I am feeling right now, the want to have a nice wig, but on a low budget. I just simply can’t afford the luxury of a really good one.

I hate to post lots of posts in a day... so thought I would just add a comment as a CTD part to the above post.... For the first time, in a long long time, right now I am crying over how I look. About this whole hair business, about now finding what I want. I thought to myself have a look on google at what style actually want (ie if I could have ANYTHING what style would I pick) then got myself all upset about how I saw lots of styles but I could never have them... I never seem to be all that bothered about it normally... why today? Why now...

Ideas: Take a trusted older female relative along, who may pay for the train and the wig...or a soothing dinner. Take along or contact someone who buys wigs for cancer or alopecia: you may find her offering up a wig she bought and never used, for a discount, or driving with you, or giving you a critique at the shop. You will be buying many more wigs in your future, so don't stress...synthetics last 6-12 months, and can look quite good, actually. When one isn't quite right, you know you can buy another later and have that renewal experience. Who do you really need to impress, anyway? You already "have" your man, and you are doing the best you can with what The Force put upon you!

Wig buying never bothered me until I moved guess I just loved my old store/hair dressers I was spoilt. If anyone who reads this lives in Warrington, Uk go to Beyond The Fringe! But I'm just I guess struggling to find a place in West Yorkshire??? anyone? :) I know I was just having a moment. I should confess to work friends then I can change style totally... I'll get there in end :)

What kind of wigs are you wearing now? What brand? I always buy Rene or Paris/Noriko/Amore wigs & no one EVER notices I wear a wig. If anything, complete strangers will walk up to me at the store asking where I get my hair done because it looks so pretty. I know some wigs can be thin at the back where you can see the wefts, I have had the problem with cheap wigs. It might also be that your head is too big for the wig so it stretches out the cap & makes the wefts visible because of that. Gabor wigs run big. I have small head & Amore wigs fit me perfeclty. I always order online. I'm at this great forum called wigsupport.com & it has helped me so much!! As in learning about wigs. We all post real life pictures of our wigs & list the pros/cons. This way you can see what the wig actually looks like on a real person not just the model. Also, if you got www.wigs.com they have videos of all the wigs on a mannequin.
