Nancy replied to Rebecca Strobel's discussion 'Professional Blow Dry VS Do it yourself' in the group alopecians who have a freedom wig! (or are getting one)
Hi there,
Since I had my freedom wig, I always struggled with the styling part as well as I never was able to style my natural hair very well. I wash my hair on my own and let it air dry. Every 2 1/2-3 weeks, I go to a stylist with clean…

I have a question for you all....I currently wear a freedom wig and I have to shave every day because I have enough growth that makes it not be able to stay on well. I'm recently found out that I am pregnant and due in June. …

I have been waiting since May for my 2nd one but I can tell you, it is very much worth the wait! The hair color that I get is very hard to get so I'm even having to get a shorter length than I originally wanted but these pieces are such good…

It looks really good! I agree...that price is small compared to the time we spend trying to do it ourselves and the outcome never seems as good as when the stylist does it. I will be doing this next week as well so we will see how mine turns out…

This is a great discussion. Hopefully, maybe the people in New Zealand are following this thread..I paid my rep in four equal payments by check. She was very nice to setup payments for me so I didn't have to pay the whole thing at once since it…

I hope you get it soon too! I know the long waiting period can be tough, especially since you have been waiting a real long time!...def let me know. I'm excited to hear about it. I think I am going to order my next one sometime in June. Let me…

Let me know what you find out about that rotating brush. It looks like it could be a great tool...For now I have been letting my hair air dry and then style it from there which is tough but it looks like it does both...very cool.
Nancy commented on Maya's group 'alopecians who have a freedom wig! (or are getting one)'
I have found that I can't really put my hair in a complete updo. The back of the wig just doesn't look natural...although it is the most natural of all the wigs I have worn, it just isn't the same. However, it probably depends on how…

Hi all,
I'm looking for advice from all your freedom wearer's...I have one and I got it last September. I know you need to send it in for repairs every year to a year and a half. I'm contemplating buying a second one so I will have…

It's nice there's something for everyone and every kind of hand size. I love the headblade. Most of all for how tiny and light it is for travel and that I have never nicked myself, the shave is extremely close,I go three times as fast as…
Deb replied to Nancy's discussion 'Shaving/Waxing'
MY husband shaves his head every other day. He tried the headblade, but said he found it awkward to use. He says he finds it easier to use his Gillete Fusion razor.
Have you found that you can shave your head at night and then still be able to wear…

- Hi nancy, I hope you dont mind if I ask you some questions about your freedom wig or vacuum wigs in general. I have found a 'temporary' solution for my hair but its not ideal. I was interested in getting a vacuum wig but was told by various companies that the vaccuum fit might not work on my because I have hair still and will have regrowth. How much hair would you say you still had before you shaved and brought a vacuum? do you have regrowth? -does it affect the vacuum fit?
Thanks
Rose

- Hi Nancy,
Just wondering - what density of hair on your Freedom wig did you get? Did you find it to be too much hair or just right?

- Hi Nancy,
Thanks for the information. I've herd nothing but good things about the Freedom Wigs. Could I ask - did you find your synthetic wigs were itchier after you shaved your hair for the freedom wig? I'm wondering if I should be prepared for 4 months of terrible itchiness....

- Hi,
thanks ever so much for the information. at the momment I have some hair and obviously no wig at the momment, I want to get a wig and then shave my hair when it arrives but apparently when you make measurments or a template of your head and then shave your hair they dont match so the wig will be to big-I dont know how to get round this? have you been in the same boat? I cant shave it with no wig. I wanted to invest in a thinskin or freedom in the future but cant afford to shave my head at the momment with no wig.
Thanks for any help.

Kate said… - Hi Nancy!
i spotted your picture on the front page of alopecia world and though, wow, her hair looks great...she can't have alopecia! Wow, you have a freedom wig...I am collecting my first ever freedom wig this Friday and I am sooo excited! hope to look as good as you very soon! At the mo I wear Rene of Paris wigs, which are really nice and have really eased me in to it all since i lost my hair 18 months ago, but i am really lookign forward to my freedom wig. Look forward to being able to wear my hair back more easily and also wear my glasses a bit more too as currently they don't fit with my wig on.
Anyway, was just a quick hello! Hope you are well,
Kate
