Any tips about wigs?

Thinking about stopping by a wig shop today, because I'm tired of feeling self conscious about my scalp showing.

I've never lost so much hair before- it's crazy! I can feel new growth coming in, but my hair growth has pretty much stopped.

Her youtube videos have been a great start.

Don't pay hundreds of dollars for "wigs for white women." Go to an ethnic hair shop and see what you can find there for a tiny fraction of the price.

Every brand fits differently. Try similar styles from several brands. Once you find a brand that sits well on your head, shop for other options in the same brand.

The hair loss for the last few days is enormous. Unfortunately most of my pixie cut has fallen out and all that's left is the new growth- very uneven. I guess I'll just cut it all off to the shortest pixie cut possible and go rock the cutest wig I can find. It's actually going to be awesome for being able to get ready fast in the morning! I'm going to have to go to the wig store tomorrow, but I'll post my adventure.

Good luck and have fun!

It went well. I was told that a wig would interfere with new hair growth, so I bought some soft crocheted caps instead. I may go back and purchase one for social occasions, but a hat fits in pretty well right now with the weather around here and doesn't look too conspicuous.
