Can you adjust a wig cap after it is made?

I bought a wig about a month ago, and although I love it, I think the cap is a little too big for me. I went for the "normal size" but I guess I must have a little head (my brain is obviously quite…Continue
I went out in public in a wig for the first time today. Scary!

I just bought some DermMatch Kate. Thanks for the advice! I have a couple of great wigs, but I'd rather be wig free if I can. Lets hope it works for me too!

Yes! I've finally found something on this.
It appears as though adults are eligible for: two basic synthetic wigs (or equivalent contribution towards human hair wig, or more expensive synthetic wig up to the subsidy cost) = $240 per 2…

- I have a 15 month old baby boy who is the most wonderful person in the world, and a gorgeous fiance who is the 2nd most wonderful person in the world. I'm a very lucky woman.
As for the 'hair thing' I've always had fine hair, but over the last few years it has begun to really thin out, and now if I stand under an overhead light I may as well have no hair at all. I've noticed that strangers stare into my scalp instead of into my eyes when they talk to me...
I'm currently saving to buy a decent wig - Pricey!!!
Isn't it funny that my name has the word 'hair' in it and yet I have very little on my head? I can't believe I just realized this...

- Hello Mhairi....I am reading some posts online, and came across yours....I read that you ordered another Yaffa wig custom sized...the one that is too big, however do you still wear it? And the new one...how did that turn out, and better fit? Price point? The pictures are amazing...I presume that is the first one...the one that is too big. I worry they come with clips, not having enough and sturdy hair to clip onto, and for fear, by clipping I would lose the hair I have there!! Do they have stretch and straps in the back also? I know the yaffa prices on the website are reasonable...and you are happy with the quality? What about maintaining it...like does it knot up when you wash it? how do you dry and take care of it? I know, so many questions...just when you have time, if you care to respond. Have a wonderful Holiday season.
