Wow...impressive, where'd you find your stencil?

Are your eyebrows permanent?

Happy Birthday!!

Thanks Alyssa! I will try it again,hopefully it wil work this time :):)

Hi !
I've read that you're an eyelash professional ( glueing them down since you were 12 would make you one I guess lol )

How do you get them to stay in place?
Every time I glue eyelashes on they only stay a few seconds and then fall off!

Yes, some synthetic wigs are horrible! That's why I won't buy anything but Rene of Paris mono top. They're great for when you want to work out, walk in the rain, do anything that makes you dirty (gardening, for example) because they are wash and wear. The Italian hair pieces I have are custom made for me and although aren't vacuum, they fit to my head perfectly. Inside is poly coating that covers the hair to make it stay in. Even though they are secure, they aren't as secure as vacuum pieces. But I don't need a vacuum wig because I don't do things like go on roller coasters or hang upside down or any rough sports. I am pretty moderate -- work out three times a week and run, bike and walk. But I use my synthetics then because of the ease of cleaning and styling.

If you want a really nice wig/hairpiece for the best possible price, I highly recommend Brenda Kay Hair Specialties. She is in Portland, but works with people all over the country. The one I'm wearing in this photo is from her. It's a virgin European hair wig, custom made for me, for about $2,000. Usually pieces like this are at least $3500. She also does pieces for less with other kinds of hair, but since my own was naturally very fine, I wanted the European (and the hair is not processed). You can always talk to her to find out what she can do for you. Her phone number is 503-223-8092, and her web site is www.bkhair.com.
Let me know if you want her contact information.

I also wear sythetic wigs (you can see them in my photos -- it's hard to tell they're not real). My favorite style is Brandi, by Rene of Paris. You can get them at a discount on www.wigsalon.com (about $155). The downside is they don't have a nice red color like the hair you're wearing now. The "dark rust" is way too dark. I wear "Butterscotch."

I hope this helps a little bit --

Tell me what your budget is and I'll see if I have any suggestions for you.

Oh, that is a bummer! Do you need suggestions as to where to get a wig?

Hey....it is just me again. Can you tell me some info about your wig? I am brand new to the whole wig part. Can you order from a website from locks of love. Your hair is exactly what I am looking for. I dont want a heavy bang....side band would be fine though. Thanks for the information! How are you?

Hi Alyssa! I am Donna. I have alopecia...probably heading toward universalis. Seem to be losing everything :(. You are beautiful!!!

Hello and welcome, Alyssa!
I have universalis, too. The color of your hair is beautiful!
