Thanks to everyone for all the great comments. Very helpful. I have made the appointment for sep. 21 to be fitted for a freedom wig. I am so excited, can't wait. Plan to shave what little hair I have left the day before. My husband is on board and doesn't seem to mind if I shave my head.

Shaving is a very personal choice. If you comfortably with giving up on that hair- do it! I shaved mine years ago and eventually it all fell out anyway.

As for your wig, it sounds like your human hair is processed hair. Mine is virgin european hair and i have had it for 2 years with no frizz! It is more expensive, but lasts longer than synthetics so i think it evens out. You have to make sure you use salon quality shampoo and conditioner too! And I think your wig may be slipping because it is poorly fitted or because of your hair underneath it. I have a giant head and my wig is a small. and after a year i took it in to be sized down as the cap had stretched a bit. I find it very comfortable and holds up well all day (even in wind!). I cant even feel it

So maybe you should shave so that your wig can fit better?

as for your family seeing you bald at home- they will get used to it! I lost my hair as a teen and my parents felt very odd about my being bald for a long time (the reminder i guess made them a bit sad about what i was going through). Now they dont even notice if I am wearing my wig or not!

I shave my head about twice a week. It's not difficult once you get used to it. I use the clippers first, then I use shaving cream made for sensitive skin, and a good (5 blade) razor. Then, I use a small amount of shea butter so that my scalp doesn't dry out. I have always worn high quality synthetic wigs with wig caps. As for swimming, I don't, but if I did, I would wear a wig cap and a very nice swim cap.

Hi there

I used to wear synthetics but they were sooooo itchy and uncomfortable,, especially as I have excema too. I got my first Freedom Wig about 5 years ago now, and it is still in great condition. I have a couple that I alternate but will never wear anything else. They are so comfortable that I forget I have it one half the time, and no one at my office even knows they are wigs. The best thing is the security, I had the same problem with little kids pulling my hair, and also really windy days in the city used to be a nightmare, but honestly now they don't even bother me. Certainly from me I would recommend it would be a great choice.

Hi Leslie Mader, do you feel the wind through your vacuum? Have you had to have repairs? How long have you had it? Just a few questions for you. Cindy

Thanks Leslie Mader, that does help a lot. Exactly what I needed to hear. I have accepted the fact that I will need to shave my head, but my husband hasn't. I don't wear wigs usually when I am home relaxing. So I think he may be concerned about that. I am actually thinking it will be kind of cool. Thanks for your input. Cindy

Just wanted to add, if you feel lost in the process of selecting color choice for your vacuum, it took so much stress off me finding a stylist to help. :)

Cindy, I have a Follea Gripper Sport and I NEVER wear it now that I have my Freedom vacuum. There is no comparison at all. The Gripper to me looks wiggy and my Freedom looks like me. I say spend the extra money and buy a custom vacuum. I would love to have my money back that I spent on a Gripper and buy another vacuum. It makes me sick to think I wasted that much money on a wig I don't even wear!! I hope this helps. I think you should at least setup an appt to talk to a rep - once you do you will be sold. I have to also add that when you or if you buy a Freedom vacuum it's a process of cutting and styling to make it look like you. I found a stylist that had the experience with vacuums and she helped me pick out my color and length and then we took baby steps cutting and styling it. We have also hi-lited - it's great! Good Luck!

Thanks for the input Rose Marie. It always helps to hear other opinions and I am just concerned because it is so expensive of course if it will last at least 3 years that would be great. I have quite the collection of wigs but still searching for one that will stay in place. Thanks so much.
