im a newbie here and wow you guys look great. Besides age is only a number lol. Im 60 and wear wigs when i can find a decent one i can afford that is, but always wear one and i have trouble finding one that looks my age which i wear my hair short but most hair pieces seem to need cut in to my style. i have some hair round the sides and back although the sides are really thin as well now. Ive been wearing hair pieces sence early 80s and i have to drive nearly 3 1/2 hour drive one way to get a hair piece that looks decent and to get it fitted for me as i live in VA in a rural area and know place close to me has any hair places that deals with fitting and buying a wig that looks right.

So funny... I have not one gray hair on my head. Now why couldn't I have just kept all my hair and had no gray? I would also at this stage of my life been open for the first time ever to finally color my hair a bit of a darker shade of blonde more age appropriate. Instead, I have to have hair loss. Another give away of wig wearing - even with the most natural looking HH wig is that fact that at a certain age, women's hair just doesn't look like YOUNG hair anymore. It gets old looking for most, anyway. They make HH wigs out of YOUNG hair.

Carol, I don't know how excessive your hair loss is, but sometimes it is no big deal. I have a client that was diagnosed several years ago, she is not that great at keeping up with her treatment, but she lost 1/2 inch in front and that is all. Hopefully this will be your experience also.

I have had the same feelings, Lexi. I'm 56 and quite youthful but I am also an earthy sort who would have let myself go natural (ish)...
Now I've got this brassy full wig (an aging freedom wig) and I just long for a more natural look. I teach kids and teach art so I would like to have at least gray streaks, but with natural hair you wind up dying those right out!
