My So-Bald Life: Wig Info

I've received some questions as to where I get my wigs and which ones I like to wear. I use the website wigsalon.com. It's a lot cheaper than wig boutiques, but you do have to have a good idea of the colors/styles you like. Exchanges/returns can be a pain. As far as the wigs themselves, I have really only ever worn Rene of Paris wigs, but I've been branching out over the last little while. I've found that the lace-front wigs are my new favorite.

What I'm currently wearing:

"Linda" by Jon Renau, color: Cinnamon Brown
I love the short A-line cut of this wig. The bangs are a little thick and hard to pin back, but I love the rest of the look. It has a monofilament top and a lace front, but I'm not as impressed with the lace like I am with the Eva Gabor wig. With the bangs, however, it almost seems pointless to have the lace. Overall, I do love the cut and color.

Here are my past favorites:

"Oppulence" by Eva Gabor, color: Sandy Blond
I love this cut! It is something I have been searching for for ages. I wish I would have gotten a different color (maybe a darker blond), but it has been fun to try out something so different. It also has a lace front and monofilament top so it looks very realistic.

"Shasta"(discontinued) Rene of Paris, color: "Ginger H"
I trimmed it a bit on the sides and in the back, so it's a bit different from the "out of the box" look. I get lots of compliments, mainly from women wanting to know where I get my hair cut. They are always shocked when I tell them it's a wig. (I figure it's easier to be honest than to lie about who does my hair. :-)) It has also held up quite nicely in the several times I've purchased it. Perhaps it's because it's the shortest of all the wigs that I've tried.
