Believe me, I have never thought that using Synthetic wigs would be a good idea but it seems that this is my last option now after getting custom dissertation writing services online. All of the medical remedies are being failed to find a solution to the issues with my hair.

The baby shampoo sounds like a great idea...I might try that, although the wig shampoos I use dont have any smell...

Hey Lynne,
Just read this. I have the wig shampoos and sprays but don't think they smell very nice. My friend who has been wearing wigs for quite a while (she's got universalis) recommends using baby shampoo which I've done. It smells much nicer and didn't seem to be to the detriment of the wig. She keeps some of hers in great condition by using a Lee Stafford serum. She's going to let me know which one it is so I can try it as even her wig supplier was amazed by how good she was managing to keep them even though she wears them nearly every day. Will keep you posted and let you know when I find out the actual product.

I go to an actual wig shop.... they supply the NHS with wigs too and thats how I got on the NHS list, but I go directly to the shop so I can get the wigs from there. They also have the special spray, shampoo, conditioner and even hairspray and they also sell eyelashes, scarves etc...it's a brilliant place and its been my lifesaver with this alopecia... x

I def wouldn't use normal shampoo or fabric conditioner on mine..that's not good for them. You need a special shampoo...I also use a spray especially for wigs every day, to keep the colour and condition good. It lasts about 2 months and only costs £7

hey i just get mine from the nhs but im tempted to get my own one to, i was told i could just use normal shampoo on them then let them steep in fabric softener for an hr or 2, does that sound stupid am i gettin told to do it wrong, if the spray shampoo n condtioner for wigs is better then i would buy them, x
