To shave or not to shave

I am thinking about shaving what little hair I have left to buy a freedom wig. I have wore synthetics and human hair for the past 3 years but can't seem to find one that will stay in place. This is very important to me because I have small children and we are active. It is not a good feeling to be cruising through wal-mart and feel your hair slipping back from your head. If anyone has experience with the silicone cap I would love to hear from you. Does the hair hold up? My human hair wig has gotten unbelievably frizzy and I just bought it in May of this year. Is it hard to keep your head shaved daily or every other day? Since the silicone won't adhere if you have too much hair.

Thanks Pat. That is very helpful. I am also looking into the Follea wig. What brand of HH do you wear now?

I have a freedom wig. I bought it some years ago. I still have it but wear another kind of hh wig now. The freedom stays put. The silicone base is fine and is super easy to put on. I wore it constantly for 3 years before having it sent for repairs to the silicone base and wore it for another 2 yrs after that. The hair stayed soft with plenty of movement. Some say it is hot to wear and it is in summer but I think all wigs are hot in summer. It can feel like a helmet but once you wear it for a while you don't notice it. Hope this helps.
