Have you ever looked at PaulaYoung.com for wigs? Many for under $100 US and human hair for about $200. I have a couple that are great.

I just brought a wig from some china website. I will let you how it goes. They said it will take 1 month to make. I got it for 200 USD, hopefully it looks nice. my msn is carol_sy16@hotmail.com, facebook is the same too. I thought about starting a support group for toronto alopecian. wonder if you are interested in initating one. I don't think they have vaccum wigs in Toronto. I would like to get it one too. I want to go on a cruise with my bf, and I want to be able to swim with hair.

Hi! Thank you for the comment. I´ve lost a lot of my self esteem and Im sad often but It has also made me stronger. I´m happy cause it could be wors but when I see girls who can do everything they want with their hair I just feel like crying. People around me does not know that I have alopecia but my closes friends does know.

Hey Liz,

we can meet after your exams. do you know where we can get vaccum wigs in toronto. I am planning to shave it off and get a vaccum wig (after saving up some money). I love to travel, planning to go to Carribean with my bf in Dec, but I don't wanna take my wig off when I go into the water and show everyone my bald head. We should shop for wigs together. I think eventually my derm will refer me to sunnybrook, coz i am still losing my hair big time. I am nearly bald now

yeah that is what my dermatogloist said too, if the steriod injection doesn't work. I might have to go to sunnybrook and tried out that program. I need another wig, the one I brought is too long. So frustrating to wear it. I need a shorter one for work too. contact me if you want to go wig shopping..=)

Hello Liz,

I live in Toronto too. Nice to meet you. I have AT, I was wondering if you know any doctors in Toronto who can help me out with my problem.

Hey Liz, mine has been cut, so it's about 12". I started at 12" or 14". Your best bet is to send them a picture to ask. Can send my pic if you'd like. They can determine the density for you based on that too.

I don't think it'll arrive in time for June though....Ask if they can "rush it"! Good luck!

hi liz, nice to met you on this wonderful site. yes, this site has helped me alot coping with AU. i now know i am not alone with this condition and the wonderful people i have met here has given me alot of support and advice on living with AU. i hope one day they will have a conference in canada so that i can visit canada again. i have family there also and met you and other canadians with this condition. i know it is tough going through this during the teenage years. i wish websites like this existed when i was going through it. hang in there and take care, Holly

Getting a wig early couldn't hurt! If you have any questions just let me know ;)

I'm playing with me next wig. I ordered it blond this time and got white and orange dye...I think a white to fierce orange gradient will be aaawesome!!

aww i know how that feels! and no, when i lost a spot, we asked him about it, and his EXACT words were "Oh don't worry about it, it'll grow back on its own. Just don't do the ponytail anymore, that might be the reason." -.- GRR D<. i was soo mad XD! and ahha thankkss. I was from Toronto, Mississauga?... i think thats how you spell it... :) and i LOVE the cold!!! you would HATE the hot once youve lived in it for a couple of years...XD

Hi Liz, yes I love my current wig too! That was the first pic you saw. It makes a huge difference to go to a hairstylist after you've got your wig. I dyed it dark purple, but it's not as obvious as I'd like.

I ordered online at toplace.com. The only tricks are: 1. get a good template 2. buffer time for in case something goes wrong. So once you've got a good one, get another one as a backup, and order your next piece at least 6 months before you need it. Mine lasts me about one and a half year to two years.
