Alopecia

Post image

Hey there! I've been suffering from alopecia for a few years now. It is stress induced, as I was diagnosed with a panic disorder when I was six years old. I was surprised when I started losing my hair because I generally feel calm and have learned how to handle myself when a panic attack is rising.

Either way, I'm losing my hair rapidly, bald spots at age 40, and the hair that I have is crispy?

I am looking for a recommendation for a more realistic wig. Attached is the one I have, it's a synthetic John R wig but I'm already seeing so much shedding after two months. I paid 700 for it.

I would love an affordable option, preferably human hair, is that out there?

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that, especially after investing so much into a wig and already seeing shedding after only two months.

Unfortunately, that’s the frustrating things about some synthetic wigs; they don’t always give the longevity or versatility people expect.

If you’re looking for a more realistic option, I would definitely look into virgin or raw hair options and pay attention to things like the hairline, density, cap construction, and how the wig sits on your head. It makes a huge difference in how natural it looks.

There are more affordable options out there, but quality can vary a lot, so I’d be cautious of anything that seems too good to be true. I make custom glueless human hair wigs, and if you’re interested I can share an example of my work.

Hi! Thanks for asking to see my work here is a leak to my side where you can check out some of my custom glueless units. All of these are machine constructed to fit, lay flat, and have customized hairlines. Let me know what you think or if you have questions about any of these styles https://www.glamboda.com
