Well at least you will save money not having hair...NOT!

I am sure you all have heard this comment by someone trying to get us Alopecians to see the bright side of not having hair. Well I dont know about the rest of you but this has been very expensive for me.

I was only diagnosed 4 months ago and lost my hair rather rapidly. I went from buying every scarf & hat i could find to hide the bald spots on the top of my head, only to find in a matter of weeks I needed a full wig.

I buy hats, scarfs,glues, combs, full wigs, halo wigs and my newest purchase that should be arriving anyday is a wig you can swim in. Maybe it is because this is all so new to me and I am trying to find what works, atleast that is what I tell my husband...LOL.I can say one thing for sure this has really been a learning experience for me & an expensive one!!!!!

The real hair wigs from freedom wigs are so natural and it is a suction cap so swim shower dye and do anything to them . They are comfy although by the end of the day u need to wash the inside because a bit sweaty. They are meant to last 1-3 years.. Mine are generally 1 because I used to sleep in them so the rubbing makes some hair fall out so u get bald spots . So expensive though

I do not move my head much on my jobs, and I take my wigs off at home to save on wear, tear and heat. I avoid heat, and do brush or comb before wearing (Brush or comb with metal tongs. Plastic is not good for synthetics). I stay out of the sun and go to places with air conditioning. Long synthetics I always end up trimming shorter, because the heat from my neck or winter scarves ultimately fries the hair. I may try that CHI Silk Infusion Lisa Lynn discussed on this site to relax synthetic hair ends. I see it is at Walgreen's...a bit pricey. Oh...I also alternate wigs and sometimes wear hat for simple errands.

P.S. Never cook, iron or bake in a synthetic wig!!!
