Wigs are one way to deal with thinning hair. Women often wonder, though, about the ins and outs of wearing wigs: How do you put them on? Where do you find a realistic wig? How do you care for it?

The woman who anonymously writes the blog Women’s Hair Loss Project recently shared her experience shopping for a high-end, realistic “hair replacement wigs.” She visited Follea’s salon, which starts at nearly $1000 and goes up to nearly $4,500.
So is a high-end wig worth the money?
“The first thing I can say is that touching the Follea hair is an experience all by itself, silky silky smooth hair. Just amazing,” she writes. “This cap perfectly cups and cradles your head. In my very short wig journey I have yet to find a cap like this.”
She wasn’t happy with other aspects of the first wig, though, including the hairline. But as they moved on to the luxury collection, she found a wig she absolutely loved that blended perfectly with her own hair color.

She was upset, however, when she returned home and found the hair tangled and it wasn’t easy to untangle. This was unusual, she points out; none of her other wigs tangle badly and if they do, it comes out easily.
She was able to return the wig, and picked a style less likely to tangle. More surprisingly, she says, even her own mother didn’t notice she was wearing the wig. The writer also shares that there’s a new way to attach wigs. It’s a device called a grip, and it’s basically a strap worn like a headband. It attaches to the wig’s grip without using combs or clips.
If you’re dealing with female thinning hair, and ready to switch to wigs, she offers this advice about staying the course.
“One thing I learned in my very short amount of time with buying wigs is to try not to get discouraged if the wig you are trying isn’t working out, keep looking and searching for the wig that best fits you in most every way that is possible, color, length, style,” she writes. “If clips hurt, use a WiGrip or a similar type headband to get the wig to stay in place.”
While she admits she still wants to try a bonded hair topper, she adds that she is “just loving my new hair and wondering why I didn’t do this before.”

Use my what? where? and the reason is because I "should" have a man. Pray tell at what point does that become pointless? I suggest it is shortly after age 58 when invisibility begins to set in. So I could learn to use my what? when? and for
Hello!
I read each one of the responses before writing and in each one you counter the writer with why you are staying in this situation. When you left, did you think about what kind of life you were going to build for yourself? Because after the ini
I paid $1200 for the shoulder length human hair wig & $1700 on the other one. These wigs were 40% of so they really cost that much more. The $1700 the hair is so thick and luxurious-I love it. I also have the wig grip it is kind of like a light weight silicon hair band. Both wigs are front lace so I can wear them many different ways. I have hair pieces that are synthetic & I love them-but-synthetic wigs are so hot & sometimes itchy. I love my wigs!
Hair /wig topper’s are great! They are not a full cap-just the crown and the hair blends in with your own. Most thinning hair is at the crown & these toppers are great. I took some of my full synthetic wigs and cut around the crown area and they are so easy just to put on when in a rush. The bottom lengths I added wig clips to & wear them like an extension so this way I got dual use out of one synthetic wig I felt too hot. It is no longer hot and I get 2 styles out of one. A wig wouldn’t be for everyone but I love them. I would not consider a short hair cut on me “hip’ or cute-I do not suit short hair, never have. I have a round face with a double chin & thick neck and I want all these softened not exposed.
I have never been one to believe that because your 50 you should cut your hair. There is no age limit on medium long hair-not teenage long but nicely styled-you are what makes “you” not your hair. Sorry I don’t go for grey hair either- I find it drains the colour out of your face & makes a person look run down. It’s a matter of choice and some woman believe at 50 time to cut your hair and grow out the grey.
