Hi Chris M
I have seen a 'Gripper' and my daughter has even tried one on to see how she felt about them. (In her case it was not something she felt would work for her, she found it uncomfortable and it didn't give her the security she is use to with her Freedom Vacuum Hairpiece). I believe you can have hair underneath them, but probably around the perimeter edge would have to be hairless for any type of security to occur.
With a Freedom Vacuum wig you really have to have no hair or be willing to shave. I understand this is a big step for many people but in my daughter's experience (and mine), it was a step that helped her move forward with life.

Hey Christine. I was once in your shoes when I used to wear regular wigs & had some patches of hair. When I was at this post, I shaved all my hair off what little bit I did have. I can say that it was bittersweet because I felt relieved & a little sad all at the same time. I still had the problem with the wigs fitting properly, mostly because I had a small head. I would recommend for your to look into the full lace or lace front systems. You can have these systems customized to fit your head & the style you want. You will also have the option to go for a glueless system or a system that can be bonded to your head. I currently wear a lace system that can either be bonded or not. I suggest you do some research to see if this is something that you would be interested in. I can tell you that the lace systems have changed my life and helped in regaining my confidence.

I'm getting to that I think I might need a wig soon phase, I was there about 6 yrs ago, and bought one that matched my prior hair color and style I've sinced changed my cut and color, and feel like things are getting really bad again. I didn't have much luck with the first wig, It hurt my head (too tight?) and would slip up in the back, I guess because I was so bald back there, and still had about a third of my hair still on top, not really sure which kind to buy, and how to stop it from slipping up, and what about the heat? sorry for so many fundamental questions, but I'm pretty new to this. I think that if it get so bad this time I'll shave the rest, would that help with the wig being more comfortable? I'm so tired of all this, pretty depressed right now, and want to be prepared for what lies ahead. Thanks all:)

Alyce Jayne Martin I note that you wear a vacuum wig but are considering a Gripper. Do you need to have some hair to wear a gripper?

What is the difference between a wig and a "bonded hair system"?

Wendy, never heard of a Yaffa wig until I read your post.

MB, never tried a gripper or vacuum. I usually just buy synthetic wigs.

What about grippers? Anyone used one? How do they compare to vacuum? I'm starting to look for the next one....

Hello.
I do not know if I write in the right place but I would like to know if anyone has bought laces in orderwigsonline to know the opinion.

I have worn a vacuum for over 20 years and I still love them, but I am also going to get a "gripper." I am very excited about it.
