hello. happy birthday!

Hey Tanya, so I was looking at the site and it said that if I want to order a piece longer than 6" it would cost extra. The length in your first pic is an ideal length, how much did it cost for a piece around that length? Ahhh, I'm sorta freaking out about this but I should definitely get going on an order because I have my grad commencement in JUNE! I might even be too late to that =/ anyways, thanks for the recommendation because most places I've looked into are much stricter on their returns and less flexible.

Hi Tanya! Thanks!
Amy's Presence is amazing, I'm so thankful that I found it!
I was trying to describe my wig to someone else and I realised thatI really dont know much about it. You use adhesive tape to keep it from falling on, which you apply to the underside of the edges of the wig which is sort of plasticky. The rest is netting (I'm not sure what it's made of) and at the back there are little hooks where you can tighten and loosen it. There are all sorts of different hair they use, but nothing real I don't think. Mine is called cyberhair which is aparently the most real acting synthetic hair around. From what I've been told, it was rather expensive, though I'm only 14, so it was my parents who bought it. I hope this helps! Ask anytime. Do you think by missing out in those activities in High School you actually missed out on anything big, or was it not really that important?

i love your eyebrows! i want to get mine done again. the first time i got them i didn't know any better and just wanted them done trying to cope with AU and then all of my eyelashes and brows were gone. now that i am older and wiser i want that illusion of eyebrow hairs on my fadded eyebrow tat. love your pics and your sense of humor.

hi lol yeah i'm on a bit of wig research! my hairloss has really got to me and so trying to be proactive! I hope you don't mind me asking some more questions, in your first photo your hair is v.straight and long, is this a lace wig!? If so it looks great! I'm really looking for something like that. Is this from Toplace as well? Would you be able to tell me whether it is european/chinese/indian hair and what type of lace and density it is? Did they ask you about hair direction and parting?
Thanx Ally

I don't think I'm ready to order online yet but gosh that's such a nice wig! and purple?! Nice, I can't wait to see pics (if you do put them up). I really like that picture you took with the horses :) I'm actually waiting for my wig to be finished in a month but those on toplace is significantly more affordable!

Yeh it was yahoo...I believe you bought your toplace a little while before I did and it was looking at your pic that sealed the deal for me. 85-90% would be far too much for my pin-head...in my profile pic I think it was 80% and I thinned it out even more.

Hi Tanya I remember you from a few years ago at the other alopecia site. How are you? Looks like you're doing great! You look fantastic in your toplace wigs - what density do you go for?

hey! just wanted to drop by and say 'hi' the first pic of your wig looks really natural (I was wondering if you got it from the same site) and your pics are really funny! I'm afraid of ordering online because I don't know what I'd end up with, but its so much easier!

I'm not really on the coast, I'm near Toronto, but i'd say it's colder than normal but not as cold as last year. I was out in Fernie the summer before last and saw the mountains for the first time. Even though they were just the foothills of the east cootaney mountains to me they were big and made me feel small and insignificant....you know. I'll post some pics from there. Hey are those your horses?

I too have had alopecia since I was 10... :D

your pics look great.. and it's nice to see someone living their life to the fullest and on their terms. i'm working on coming to terms w/ alopecia and loving me for me. maybe I too can fit in a dryer....

thanks for the add!

I had to laugh when I saw your pic of you in the dryer....it reminded me of trying that once but in a large laundromat dryer for a few seconds....what a nut! I know it's really cold out west right now so keep warm!!

Hi Tan,

I love your pics. You look like a fun Gal.
Is the close up pic of your eyebrow the tattoo? It looks great!!!
I see you have the San Fran Background on your page like mine.

Hi Tan - so good to see another Asian on this site. I love the picture of you in the washing machine. That's hardcore girl! I'm going to have to pick your brain once I get more serious into wigs - the ones you have look great. :-)

Well, I did it!!!! Got the brows and the eyeliner tattooed this week. Am soooo glad I did. I can go back in a couple of weeks and she'll tweak anything I want tweaked. I love the brows, but I think I might actually get her to do my upper eyeliner a little thicker. It looks good, but I think a little thicker will look more like a lash line. Anyway, I'm so happy....thanks for the advice and support. I'll post pics as soon as all is healed up and looks perfect!!!

Yeah, I got him that for Christmas! My sister-in-law always wears one that says Everyone Loves an Italian Girl so I also got one that says Everyone Loves a Bald Girl to wear next time I see her. Got it on Cafe Press.com.
My kids are great - thanks. They're a lot of fun and keep life chaotic but interesting, for sure!
I see you've got the tattooed eyebrows. I'm going for a consultation with a lady named Susan Davis at Permanent Cosmetics of Maryland next week to check out her work. If I like it, I think I'm just going to go ahead and do it right then and there. I'd also like to do the eyeliner, but am more nervous about that. Ouch!

Tan....LOVE your photo gallery! Sure looks like nothing gets you down. Good for you!

Thanks for the nice comment on my pic! I like your photos too!! :) Wow... do you sky dive?!? Impressive... Nice to meet you! Have a good day! Peace.... :)

Hi Tan,

Your advice is very helpful and I guess with the unpredictability of the condition, I have to concentrate on building her self esteem more. Did your mom buy you a wig when it happened or did she just let you wear a bandana. What about bullying? Did you face any teasing? I looked at your photos and you look just so so beautiful and so so confident. I guess I want to know excatly what your mom did so that I can do exactly the same thing. Confidence is the key. I guess if Amber is confident with her hairloss than she can combat any comments that come her way. By the way, your hair looks so real. Can you be active whilst wearing it.

Thanks

Karen
