Question about Vacuum Wigs

Posted by Denise on June 20, 2008 at 10:30am

Hi, I was thinking of getting a vacuum wig. I heard they fit secure and cannot be pulled off. Well that's what I hear anyway. I work at at special needs school, I work with 7th-8th grade children with severe behavioral problems, some with mental illness as well. My job can get pretty rough and physical and I was trying to find a wig that could not be pulled off or come off during a crisis. They love to go for the hair. Do you think that type of wig would hold up or is there something else out there.

They can come loose when you eat a meal but only you notice the slight air bubble. All you have to do is pretend your fixing your hair and push the bubble out. I love my vacuum wig but they are expensive, heavier and hot to wear in the summer.

Why don't you have a chat to Anna Fitzpatrick. She will tell you about them as she wears them. She's on the homepage.

You need to get the fit right, and to put it on so that you expel as much air as possible - but it is ultra secure so should be fine for your job. I do find mine very hot, went on holiday recently and it was 39 deg and I thought my brain was going to be broiled! but I am a hot person anyway. Security is first class. The other one that I am finding out about at the moment is the one made by NuHair technology. But I am becoming more aware the more women I speak with that there are others out there in the wider marketplace, not advertised as vacuum as such but they have similar properties, I think! Good luck and best wishes Welshcakes
