Thank you! Yes, I am a wigaholic! :) I'm afraid to admit that I don't have pictures of every wig that I own on here too. Are you a member of wigsupport.com? If not, you should join. Members post pictures of their new wigs all the time so you get to see a lot of different ones. I just got a new wig, "May". I posted a review with pictures of it on my blog: http://lifeasabaldgirl.wordpress.com

The wigs you asked about are... #1: High Society, #4: Tatum by Rene of Paris, Amore collection, #9: Tori by Rene of Paris, #14 Blair by Jon Renau, Long Blonde: Misha by Rene of Paris. It sounds like you might like the May by Rene of Paris. It doesn't have a lot of hair.

Lexi, Not sure what your price range is so you may need to shop around. I have been cruising through this site today and see that people have found beautiful HH wigs for much less than mine. Probably best to look at the photos and send a note to those whose hair you like. I am curious to see what you end up with. Please let me know! Stephanie

Sorry, I didn't address you ? on care. No, no more trouble than any other wig. I shampoo, and condition, my HH wigs with Aussie, and condition with Pantene Beautiful lengths. Sometimes I blow dry, sometimes air. The HH has a mono fabric top and then regular lace fabric inside the cap. You can see how they are made in her videos. When you click on enlarge, there are more pictures to see, including the inside of her caps. The parts are so real, no one can tell. That's my favorite part. :)

I have four cats! They are my babies! No, I don't have problems with long wigs as long as they aren't too wavy. On my HH wigs, I spray a solution of water and a little bit of pantene on the ends before brushing. On my synthetics, I do the same only with a product specifically made for synthetics. When the ends get frizzly on the synthetics, I use a low heat flat iron on the ends and it renews them, makes them last longer. Most Kanekalon, and Modacrylic is heat resistant up to 275 degrees, Most vendors just don't advertise this because they are afraid people will use too high of a heat and damage. But when those ends get rough, and I don't want to sacrifice my length. That's what I do! I sent you a friend request. You can also write me at lesleighia7 at yahoo dot com.

Happy New Year! My current wig is a Follea and it cost $4000.00. That is twice the cost of an iwig. Considering they last 5 years minimum, that's not bad. I used to get cuts and color every six weeks which certainly added up! The quality is amazing and as I said, no one ever suspects this is not my hair, even top stylists! Let's keep in touch~

If you feel better when you wear a wig you should do so. Having just the right wig is essential though. My wig is ultra light and very comfortable My scalp is starting to itch as it begins to fall off again. I have ophiasis pattern as well and that seems to be where it is now coming out.

Funny thing is people forget what you used to look like after a short while when you start to wear a wig (or get a hair cut for that matter!) The Tonkin's Wig lady was very sweet but my wig (long, synthetic) lasted a few months and was about $200.00. After that I switched to HH and would never go back.

Save your pennies and get a beautiful wig. It will make all the difference. No more worrying about the wind! As far as I am concerned this IS my hair and when people compliment me on it I just say, "Thank you" with no explanation. It is none of their business and not my concern to satisfy their curiosity. There are many options when you are ready to buy a wig. My first was an Iwig. You can buy from her (Erica) without traveling to NY. Check out her website. She has a new one that she is copywriting that wicks up sweat and it is very comfortable.

Lexi, Sorry to hear about your hair but congrats on the job. It's good to be busy, especially when you have this condition. My hair is starting to look like "me" finally, though since I don't color it, it is quite dark. That said, just a few days ago it started to come out again. Of course the first thing you notice is in the shower when you rinse and it comes off on your hands. That used to send me into a panic and I would avoid shampooing for a few days, not yet understanding that the hair was ALREADY disconnected to my scalp.
This time around I am disappointed but not terribly upset because I have these fabulous wigs. I just went to NYC to have them cut. I needed a change after a year. The most frustrating thing for me now is the people who know about it. They keep asking me about my hair and try to give me helpful advise on how to grow hair. I explain over and again that the problem is not my HAIR, it is my IMMUNE SYSTEM. If only they could find a cure for the immune system that seems to see my hair as a foreign object.

I understand that it is hard to wrap one's mind around. Why does this happen, especially with Alopecia Areata, when there are perfectly round bald spots? No question it is strange.

Are you wearing a wig right now? Do you have enough hair to pull it all back into a bun? I hope that people at work are being sensitive to you. Merry Christmas and happy new Year to you and yours!!

Lexi, I've been off AW for several months and glanced through this thread. How are things?
