Jan left a comment for Holly Dixon"Hi Holly,
So sorry - moved house a week or so ago and am still spinning! Did you catch up over the long weekend?"
Jan replied to porcelinh's discussion Blow-out project in the group alopecians who have a freedom wig! (or are getting one)"Hey do you guys get your hair shampooed while you're wearing it? I tried this a few months back and it was terrible - I felt like the wig would come off and I was really self conscious. By the time I came out (I had a bit of colour and a cut…"

- Hi Jan,
My apologies! I haven't been on here for so long now and am now catching up! Phillipa and I did meet up. It was lovely to finally meet someone else in the same boat! I'd still love to meet up with you sometime. I'll try to jack something up. Perhaps a weekend before Christmas?

- Hi Jan :)
Thanks for your reply to my thread :) I hadn't forgotten about ya!
I wanted to leave it for a bit before I responded till I had a fair idea of the number of people who are keen. So far, it's only you & one other. But that's okay :)
So I see your from Palmy ... would a catch-up on a weekend suit you?
Cheers :)

- no prob - drop me a note if you want to chat or if you come up to Auckland. From what I understand a lot of people get longer freedom wigs. My first one was slightly shorter and then when I got my second i left it a bit longer as i felt more comfortable with that. Still short though. You can get the curly, straight etc as well so really individual. talk soon. Kath

- Hi Jan - I have a short freedom wig - in fact 2 of them. I will put up a couple of pics on my page for you to look at. I was the same as you and always had short hair and short synthetic wigs. I was worried if I could get a freedom one short enough but it has worked out really well. Feel free to give me a call to chat if you want. email me and I will send number. Talk soon

Sharon said… - Hi Jan Nice to meet you. Our daughter Nicole (12) has had alopecia since she was 8 and has been AU for about 2 years I guess she has lost her eyebrows and most of her eyelashes...........however the eyebrows are trying to grow again =).
Nicole has just had her Freedom wig highlighted..........check out our page I put some pics on there.......it looks great. It would be great if we could all get together at some stage.
Anyway Take care

- Hi Jan - lovely to hear from you. I have had both of my Freedom wigs highlighted. Just make it look a bit trendier. In fact I quite often get comments from the ladies in the office how my "new" colour looks so good - if only they knew!!! If you hairdresser isnt keen, you could contact mine - who also Deanna uses. She may be able to talk to your hairdresser. Alternatively if you were planning a trip to Auckland you could do it up here. I would chat to Deanne though as I think that you just do it like normal hair - highlights in foil. Not too many though. Let me know if you need help. PS - you look great!

porcelinh said… - hi jan, thank you for the nice compliments! yes, i have both my freedom pieces highlighted. one with highlights and low lights (dimensional color) and the one on my profile pic was highlighted once in hawaii in 2004! i have never had any problems with my pieces after the highlights. except that the highlights get lighter and i don't mind not having to get the roots touched up! lol. that is one of the perks and alot of nice compliments along with it. i guess it also makes the pieces look more realistic. since alot of people with hair like to get highligts and change things up. have fun with it. just make sure that the stylist is comfortable with highlighting pieces like ours and is experienced. i noticed alot of the u.s. freedom reps also have a profile here and they will be happy to refer you to any stylist in your area for the job. take care, Holly
