Hi Tam, I'd be happy to chat with you about the Freedom Wig. I'm in Toronto this upcoming weekend and am collecting clients again for Ottawa and Montreal. I will add you to the list and if you have any questions in the meantime, I am more than happy to tell you all the ins and outs about the Freedom Wig. Hope you are well and enjoying Spring. Spring FINALLY arrived here this week! Warm Wishes,
Jenn
Hi! I wanted to say you look great!! What do you use for eyebrows? Your wigs look great too! I just got a custom made lace front and back wig that I couldn`t be happier with. It was pricey (also due to the length). I bought it at Order Quality Wigs. They have 2 locations, one on cote des neiges and the other on St. Charles in Pierrefonds. They told me it would lake 6-8 weeks but it took more like 14 or 15... so that was the only problem I had. But I really love the hair and I went swimming in the ocean with it!!! I wouldn`t recommend the glue (i got it just because I was going to the beach for a week) because the tape is sufficient and much less messy!!! :) Where do you get yours?
Thanks for the note Tam :) Things were not good when I went back to work, but I was glad I went back for the kids. I had a horrible replacement and I felt really guilty for leaving my students with her. But we managed to get through the last month and the kids are officially on vacation. I have a few more days of work, then I will be too! Can't wait!
I had my eyebrows and top lid of eyeliner tattooed on. I love it! I haven't heard about DPCP, but I will say that my doctors as I grew up used me as a guinea pig for some very strange treatments...I was on rogaine when they were testing it, the pharmacy had to crush the pills and mix it with alcohol I was supposed to swab my head with this mixture and then coat it with vasoline every night...it was sooo gross, it was the last straw! Now I have a good wig that I only wear when I go out. My permanent makeup makes it so I don't look sickly first thing in the morning! We make adjustments and learn to live without parts of ourself that we thought would always be there. It is doable!
no I've had alopecia since I was 2. I did all the treatments as i was growing up. None of them were worth the time. I checked in with a Dermotologist about 10 years ago to find out if there was anything new out there, he told me if there was i'd hear about it in the news! LOL

I'm sorry you're having a hard time! I know it can be very difficult. No, I haven't tried any treatments for many years. I just decided to give up and live with it. I became the spokesman for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and wrote a book including everything I have learned, plus other women's stories too.
Honestly, things will get better. It just takes time and a positive attitude (and a good wig or two!) Just let me know how I can help...

Awesome wig Tam my wife has worn them for 20years and they appear to look just like yours. You do pick them well it would seem.
