Hi Merita. How have you been??

I am in Wayx all the time!!
If you don't mind me asking, where do you get your hair pieces from. I have not been able to find anything around here. The only places I can find, well, let's just say, not to sound at all ugly, are for a different ethnticity or for an older generation. I tried them on and dark black hair doesn't look so great on me because of my fair skin. The other's I tried on made me look 30 years older.

Hi!! I live not too far from you!!! I live east of Nahunta Georgia!!

Hi Merita -- Thanks for your note. I get my "hair systems" through Tom Magliaro's Hair Additions in Houston. It is hot and humid in Houston, like in Georgia and I have found it to be really comfortable through the spring, summer (and let's admit it, it's still hot around here in the fall). It is made with real human hair and has an extremely thin lining. When I wore it longer, it only lasted about 4-6 months, but with the shorter cut, it looks like this one may last a year.

Hello there, welcome to the judge free zone. How can I make you smile?

oh, thank you! =) Some of my pictures are my real hair, before I had alopecia, but some are with my wig. I have a couple wigs and they are great, I love them. They aren't real..they're synthetic so their much cheaper, and I think just as good. I got it at a place called Godiva's Secret out here in California, but I'm pretty sure they have a website. One of my wigs I got at a little beauty shop though, so I'm sure there are tons of great ones out there,and they don't have to be real hair. Do you have any wigs? Your face is so beautiful, you don't even need one!!

Thanks for the friend invite! Backatcha!

Thank you! I get my wigs from various sources, depending on if they are human hair or synthetic.
Some of my fave synthetics are Rene of Paris. Human hair is always European and I get them through Brenda Kay in Portland OR (she works with people all over the world). If you want to find out more, get my new book! It's full of cool info -- there's a link, or just cut and paste: www.leslieannbutler.npauthors.com!
It would be great to know how you like it!
