A large variety of popular name brand wigs & accessories sold and serviced for women and men. There are three potential markets of wig customers: trendy clients who use wigs and hair pieces as accessories; men, women and children suffering from hair loss due to illness; and clients with thinning hair. According to the American Medical Association, 20 million women in the United States are suffering from some form of hair loss. Hair loss among women can result from chemotherapy, medication, menopause or alopecia (A condition that causes hair loss in spots or all over the body). Hair loss is a difficult and emotional experience for women because they don't expect it to happen to them. Can people tell I'm wearing a wig? Today, wigs are almost indistinguishable from a natural head of hair. Hand-tied baby hair or inside "hidden" wafting along the front gives a realistic hairline. Today's synthetic fibers are much thinner than they used to be, and thus avoid a bulky, "wiggy" look. They are also as soft and pliable as real hair for a gentle "move-as-you-move" action. In some ways, synthetic wigs are easier to handle than natural hair because wig fibers keep the style and shape intact day after day. Many styles have open ear tabs, which make it easy to wear glasses. Isn't a wig uncomfortable? Years ago, wigs were made with caps which were definitely hot and sticky. Today with the invention of the Cap-ess wigs, lengths of fibers or wefts are sewn to cotton or lace stretch bands, which shape to the head yet, allow plenty of air to circulate. What if my wig comes off? A wig that fits your head is essential to security. A proper fit prevents slippage. Look for Velcro adjustments. What color should I choose? Choose a color that is as close as possible to your natural color. If hair loss is a possibility in the future, save a swatch of your own hair for a match. You can always go a shade lighter than your own hair, but avoid going darker. What style should I choose? Choose a style most similar to the one you usually wear, a style that suits your personality and life style.
