Hair Loss - My Story & Solution

Thanks guys! The meeting this afternoon was fine, I was all nerves for nothing.

You can get toppers in real or synthetic. Real is more expensive and requires styling. Where with synthetic, it stays in the style it came in. I opted for synthetic for my first one based on things I read online. It’s good to start with a less expensive option to make sure you will like it first. I didn’t pick a curly one because I didn’t want to curl my own hair, which does show thru, unlike a wig.

My dd went with me to the wig shop. They only had a half dozen toppers to try on and none in my color (highlighted or dark). I was trying to match my highlighted hair to the little swatches they had. Dd suggested I try on a wig in the darker brown (she’s been wanting me to go back to brown for awhile). Once I put on the brown I knew she was right.

After the topper came in (took a couple days) I picked it up at the wig shop and they helped me trim the length (it was a couple inches too long) and cut in some bangs. I left and went to Sally’s where I picked up a matching hair dye and went home to color my bio hair. First time I’ve ever done that at home before...so easy! If I go to the gym, I just pull my hair back in a pony. Figure I’ll do the same thing for swimming and wear a ball cap for other outdoor activities (and Disney trips).
