Wig brands to consider






When you need to purchase a wig don't fall into the trap of buying online from a shop which may be using stock photographs. Make sure the wig has a brand and name listed. 
Some on line retailers offer human hair wigs for peanuts, if it seems too good to be true, don't spend your money. Human hair wigs are usually bought and sold at a premium. I originally bought my Rene of Paris from ebay and had extensively researched Monofilament wigs and costed them online.

Tampon Crafts


Last week I sold my new Rene of Paris Monofilament Marie wig on Ebay, it just wasn't me and the Hubster hates me with straight hair. I sold it the very same night I posted it - so I was super happy :)


















After the revelations of the tampon toupee and sharing with you tamponcrafts, I found this little gem on ebay. I very much doubt a sale anytime soon :(

Wigs

Source: http://www.wwe.com
For those with naturally long curly hair the market on the wig front is absolute pants. I ordered in three wigs which bared no resemblance to my own hair, needs must and all that malarky. I eventually opted for a long straight/slightly wavy brown model which I purchased with my NHS wig voucher and privately purchased a short straight one off ebay.





After Chemotherapy (March 2014)

My hair may grow back curlier (ffs), straight or indeed a completely different colour. You're probably all thinking it's just hair, it will grow back and indeed it will, but this has been my huge bugbear of mine since my diagnosis.

I understand that I have been lucky in catching a fast growing cancer and yes I would rather have my health, BUT can't I have my hair too?


I have invested in fake eyelashes and an eyebrow stencil kit. The last and only time I have ever tried to put on fake eyelashes I gave up as it landed on my right cheek. I'm not high maintenance as those that know me ... know


I have also purchased a deep red couture lipstick to "frame my face", which I have been trying out recently on nights out.

Rene of Paris Amore Monofilament wigs are indeed the most realistic wigs out there.
