Besides the freedom wig being hot in the heat, there a few teething problems.
Yet, this is a small price to pay.
The cold weather is the best!
Check out what I wrote on this blog "Teething problems with my Freedom Wig"
I have an immune illness and going through menopause, so my body heat is above average.
I cannot wear it in the heat.Yet air con is fine.
However, if you work out there is a slight chance that the prosthetic will slide off an water will drip from under.
My friend goes to the bathroom, removes the wig briefly and wipes off the sweat.
So, even though there are a few little hiccups...on the whole, it's all worth it by owning a freedom wig.
I love it, and even though right now, I'm not wearing it...come winter, I might just enjoy a change.

what is the teething problems you mentioned? and is this worth the money? I have spoke to a lady whom does it for my area.. and it is a big amount to pay. but I live with wigs anymore... I can do anything with my 4 active boys.. even at work it's hard to feel like they are not going to fall off or people see the "mesh".

Hi Joy :)
I have been wearing my freedom wig (not in picture) for a little over a year now. I absolutely LOVE it! I often get comments on how nice my hair looks. I wash it about once a week, and I have to admit--I'm addicted to by flat iron! I can straighten or curl with it. I've noticed a little bit of breakage, but nothing drastic. I don't have much split ends either. I have noticed that my color has faded some; I just have more highlights now :) I have also noticed a slight loss of shine, but I have recently started to use a hair serum that makes it smooth and shiny. It is recommended that you use a good intense conditioner on the ends once a week. I don't do that as often a I should. I use Redkin intense repair. I leave it in for a good 15 to 30 minutes then I rinse with cold water.
As for the comfort; I love the security and fit. I think that a wig that is customized to fit your head exactly yeilds the most natural look. I also love that I don't have to do my hair everyday. I do experience sweating and oiliness. It's worse at the end of the day. If it gets too bad I just take it off and wipe the cap and my head. It's not that much of an inconvinience for me. I personally wouldn't work out in it though. I just don't like the feel of sweat pouring down my neck, face, and ears. It does get very slippery when that happens. I've heard of a girl who wears a bandana over hers to prevent slipping. It just depends on what you feel is more comfortable for you. Well, I hope I was able to be of some help. Good luck on whatever you choose to do!

Hi Joy its Kerry. When I do decide on a wig I will post my pic :) I found a site called Wiggin Out Salon. I read they buy hair from Teens in the United States in College. Anyway if you know anything about the wigs there that would be helpful. They have a wig maker that designs and makes the wigs. If you or anyone here has been there please please let me know. They had really good testimonials and reviews. But you know that its not the same for everyone. I am checking out New Freedom to. I am doing my research this time :)
