Where acceptance is all there is!
I'm a wigaholic!
My name is Allie, and I am a wigaholic. I've been obsessed with wigs for a year and 8 months. I should join a support group. :) I do not want to say how many I have at the moment. Those who wear synthetic wigs know they don't last forever, so in my defense, I need new ones occasionally when one wears out.
I love the different styles and colors. When I find a style that I really like, I want the wig in blonde, brown and red! There are three wigs that I have in two colors each. I typically wear one to work during the week, and a different one on the weekend. I would wear different ones to work during the week, but I work with a lot of people now so I don't want to confuse people. I look really different when I am awearing a blonde wig from a red one so I want people to be able to recognize me. I know lots of people on this site go bald, but for me I feel like a wig makes me feel more feminine. I love to wear scarves too so when I'm not at work, I wear scarves a lot. I love that the synthetic wigs are affordable and put on and go. It only takes me 45 minutes to get ready for the day so I love that I can have pretty hair without having to do any work.
I know it can get expensive getting new wigs often, but if I had hair, I would be spending that money at a hair salon. Now, I no longer need to buy hair dryers or hair products! I'm sure the cost of those items and hair cuts total to what I spend on wigs. I am currently wearing the "Scorpio" by Revlon, and I love it. I just wish the synthetic wigs lasted forever. I get tired of some things easily so it is nice that I can change my look every so often, and even change my look during the week.
There are lots of pros and cons to wearing wigs. But I keep finding new wigs to try! I found a great website that has them at affordable prices otherwise, I probably wouldn't be a wigaholic! I am also a member of a wig support website so each time someone posts a picture of their new wig, I usually want to try it myself. Or sometimes I get emails about new wigs so that doesn't help either. Maybe I need to find a meeting group for my addiction. I can't help it, they make me feel good and boost my confidence! Maybe one day I will find the money to get a Freedom Wig from Kim. Until then... my addiction continues... I think I need a red version of my "Scorpio"...

Rose, I have the Jamie, Sierra (2 colors) (I think these are all ROP and the Voltage by Raquel Welch and Megan by Noriko for sale. I think I did wear the Voltage home from the wig store where I purchased it, but have never worn it.

Rose, I think that's one of the reasons I don't have any money--I am spending too much on wigs and then getting them and not liking them. That's why I have 4 for sale for $30 each and never been worn. Yes, I am definitely a wigaholic!

Jennifer and Allie, I have bought lots of wigs on Ebay. Never had a problem that was their fault--it was mine because I didn't like the style/color.

Jennifer.. I'm always scared to buy stuff on eBay. Have you bought a wig from there?
For any interested... I started a group on here called Wigaholics.

Can you gals with wigs to sell go look at my question on Discussions, and see if you have any of those wigs? Thanks.

Hi Christy... You are not alone!! :)
Aimee... I don't think that is all of them either. Lol. I know what you mean. It is a hassle returning them. I have just been really lucky. I'm sure you could find one that is slightly different than "Linda" from another brand, and that could help you feel better about trying new ones.

I am not alone!!! My name is Christy and I too am a wigaholic! I can't say how many I have right now or how many I have gone through, as it will surely incriminate me! I loved all the comments posted so far!!!

TG, I should have said "average" instead of medium in my post. I caught that after Allie posted her last post.
