Wig+Wedding?

I'm getting married in 6 months and when my bf orginally proposed to me, my hair was growing back although I still had to wear a wig because it was so thin and sparse (I lost almost all my hair two years ago). I thought that by the time my wedding would occur that all my hair would have grown back by then (even if they were thin)... perhaps I was too hopeful. I was at least hoping to have a short haircut and I wouldn't mind because at least I would have all my hair back for my wedding. However,…See More

Tallgirl, what's a Juliet cap? Yes, I wear hair all the time while on vacation. Don't despair! If you're wearing long hair you could do half up half down - that's always nice for formal events. Or if it's short just stick a…

My daughter has been to the caribbean in a wig. She wears an all swiss lace wig. She says it isn't hotter than hair because she doesn't have hair. She tapes it on with super tape and is able to swim and do water activities in it. She…

Hi, liz. Congratulations on your engagement! So sorry you're having to deal with wig issues. In the summer, I wear a lighter-weight wig, and then I wear a "heavier", longer wig in the fall and winter. I'm curious to hear other…

My new hair?

Posted on April 20, 2009 at 12:29am 7 Comments

So I guess it's about time I posted a blog especially since I've gotten my first hairpiece for a month now!



I've had alopecia areata since i was 13, at first I noticed that the hairline on my temples were reciding but I did not take much notice of it until one day my cousin decided she wanted to style my hair and freaked out as she discovered some bald spots. At first I told my parents but they ignored me until months later when it started getting worse and thought it could be… Continue

Have you ever looked at PaulaYoung.com for wigs? Many for under $100 US and human hair for about $200. I have a couple that are great.

I just brought a wig from some china website. I will let you how it goes. They said it will take 1 month to make. I got it for 200 USD, hopefully it looks nice. my msn is carol_sy16@hotmail.com, facebook is the same too. I thought about starting a support group for toronto alopecian. wonder if you are interested in initating one. I don't think they have vaccum wigs in Toronto. I would like to get it one too. I want to go on a cruise with my bf, and I want to be able to swim with hair.

Hi! Thank you for the comment. I´ve lost a lot of my self esteem and Im sad often but It has also made me stronger. I´m happy cause it could be wors but when I see girls who can do everything they want with their hair I just feel like crying. People around me does not know that I have alopecia but my closes friends does know.

Hey Liz,

we can meet after your exams. do you know where we can get vaccum wigs in toronto. I am planning to shave it off and get a vaccum wig (after saving up some money). I love to travel, planning to go to Carribean with my bf in Dec, but I don't wanna take my wig off when I go into the water and show everyone my bald head. We should shop for wigs together. I think eventually my derm will refer me to sunnybrook, coz i am still losing my hair big time. I am nearly bald now
