I have been thinking hard about wigs to cover my Hair loss, but I have no clue what is good or bad. Synthetic vs human hair vs lace front, and so on. Any experts on wig here that can help me?

I had purchased 5 wigs when I lost so much of my hair. The lace front seem to be the way to go because they give you a natural hairline. Spoke to friends who have worn wigs for a long time due to chemo etc, and they swore by the synthetic wigs because they are literally shake and go so that's what I bought. Once you purchase what you think you like, go to your hairdresser and have them trim it for you if need be.

I bought one because my scalp hair seemed to be thinning fast. My hairdresser gave it a cut to look more like my real hair. I haven't worn it yet, but she recommended lace front synthetic, too. It's pretty easy to put on and blends with my hair well.

I do want a Katy perry blue one, though. :)

What about human hair extensions! I LOVE MINE! I don't need to wear them anymore, but I got soooo use to them. They clip in and easy to put on. Most everyone on t.v. wears them and you don't even know it.

Where did you get those at, and if you do not mind.... about how much do they cost?

Sally's beauty supply-I'm on my 2nd purchase :)

I wash them before wearing the first time (and as needed) and air dry. I wear them curled not straight. I curl them with hot rollers and I'm good to go!

I just bought a top piece from wigs.com. It has 3 clips and so far everyone loves it and can't tell.

I had thinning hair for years prior to surgery and was sooo thin up top.

I feel so much better about myself and can actually wear my hair down.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
