I am new to hair loss problems, am also considering to wear a wig and I would really appreciate your help and support

Hello everybody
My name is Michaela, am from Romania and three years ago I started loosing hair but I have never thoght that I'm going to reach this point where I need to wear a wig.So, here I am now...........! So, for the last two weeks I have been doing lots of searching on the internet trying to figure out the best wigs on the market: the most secure, undetectable and natural looking.My searching led me to freedom wig( from New Zeeland) or vacuum wigs from Peggy Knight.If someone could tell me the difference between the two I would really apprecite, and also the cost for these two wigs.
But, I understood that these wigs takes time to be made, and, till I'll decide which one of these worth the money I need to concentrate on what we have avaibile on the market.I am interested in a type of wig that is secure, undetectable and natural looking.Here in Romania we don't have many stores that sell wigs,anyway...., there is one store which promotes most Raquel Welch wigs. Do you know anything about these wigs?...esspecially the Victory model? Could you , please, help me out with some informations?!
This week I'm going to the store to buy a wig and I would like to know what else should I buy, exept from the wig...............what adhesive, or tape , or anything else I could need
These are the characteristics: I need from the wig: to be able to secure it very well, and to be able to take it off easily every night
To be undetectable and natural looking
I have one more question :I've seen lots of discussion about lace wigs, or smart lace wigs...I have no idea what this means, but I would like to know :are these the only wigs that can be glued or taped or any wig acctuially can be secured with tapes and glues.
Thank you and I really appreciate your help and support
With consideration
Mihaela

I love my Follea, but it is not an undetectable wig that I have. It has no lace front and quite some hair in front to hide the edge. It's also not comfortable to wear over biohair. I just ordered a topper, and if that works will keep the Follea for spare. If it doesn't work, I will probably shave my hair off and wear full wigs. I've done that before and it was convenient, but at the time I couldn't find good wigs. Now I have the Follea and some synthetics, and would be fine. Follea do make wigs with lace front, but I haven't seen them in person. Also expect a hefty price tag. I got the Follea on my health insurance, but I could not afford that insurance plan again any time soon.

What hair type do you have? If you have very dark and not baby fine hair, you could go for Indian hair which is much cheaper.

Dear Rose,
I thought that all wigs from Follea are undetectable.What kind of wig you have ? Is it Gripper 2 Cool?Because now I'm even more confused than ever.For the last month I'm trying to figure out what knid of wig to wear(this would be my first one)....so I'm looking for the most secure, most undetectable and natural looking.Finnally,reading lots of oppinions I 've came to the conclusion that Follea would satisfy my requiremments-would be the best :like the most secure, undetectable and natural looking.I'm really surprised to see taht Follea wigs aren't undetectable.

The Gripper can have a lace front I understood, and will have a better hairline than my wig which is hand-tied silk top. Then Follea has full lace wigs but they will come at a price because you need to replace them more frequently.
