Curse my pea-sized head!

For years I've had trouble finding cute shoes in narrow widths and now a similar frustration with wigs-- small caps were discontinuted 60 days ago on my top wig pick. And do not even get me started on hats that will not stay on in the wind!! If only I could shift some fat up north.... Grrrr

Hi Tracey, I feel your frustration. I too have "tiny head syndrome" and it's so hard to find hats that fit or wigs that don't need "alterations". ha. I'm sorry to hear they discontinued the petite cap on your wig. But always remember.... "big brains come in tiny noggins". LOL.
Hang in there!

Thanks, Sandy! Always good to know I'm not the only one. Now, if those wig makers would just figure that out!!

As a fellow pin head I can totally relate. Eventually I went to custom fitted wigs, initially an expensive Freedom wig and now get custom wigs made in China which are much cheaper.

AH! I thought I was the only one! I've got a mini melon to! It's tough. Custom seems to be the only way to go.

Thanks for the tip, Rose!

Tracey I completely understand where you are coming from. I have a pea-size head too... I have to have my wigs custom made because I cannot even fit a small. I am on this journey of making my own wig because of this problem.

I admire your determination, Nicole! Best of luck on your "journey"!

I hear you! I have some pre-tied scarves/bandanas and some Jewish snoods that fall down around my eyes, hats too. And I have some great outfits I would love to wear but I feel like my head is too small in proportion to the cute jacket tops. I didn't have trouble with wigs--everything felt uncomfortably tight.
As for the fat issue, I wish I had more fat on my head to keep me warm! I am always cold. Ahh, the myriad issues this disorder creates that others never have to think about.

What if you gals sewed an elastic into the back of scarves and snoods, or added velcro circles in indiscreet places? Add a tuck on each side? I know that won't do for the wigs, but it might help for other things.
