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"...

I am also a wigaholic... I get a new one every month or so. I too get synthetic wigs. I have had AU for just over two years and I have over 20 wigs. Most of my styles are the same, once in a while I will get one that is a little different. I think I keep buying them to try to make me feeling better about being bald.... It isn't really working....I will say the ONLY good thing about wearing wigs, I can shower and get dressed in 10 minutes, then choose what type of hair goes with my outfit that day...

Hey ladies ... your wig collections can be considerd ( in my opinion ) to be just like any of your other accessories.
Earrings , jewelry , handbags , sunglasses , belts , shoes , scarves and wigs !

I think thats great !

I'm a total wig addict too :) I just have to buy a new one every 2-3 months. Right now I'm looking into purchasing Audrey by ROP. I'm currently wearing Codi.
