Is it a good idea to buy a human hair wig on the internet?

Here are some common questions regarding shopping on line for Human Hair Wigs:

Q- How can I see on a computer what the hair quality is?

A- You can’t. Hair quality is undetectable from a photo. At Fortunewigs.com we recommend 2 things. First of all, try to get references from other consumers who will certify the credibility of the manufacturer. Secondly, always try to buy from a company that will allow you a full refund if the wig is not what you expected.

Q- Can I trust the color charts that are available on the sites?

A- Most hair color charts are very respectable and accurate. The problem is that different computer monitors will deviate in the shading of the colors. The hair color will rarely be exactly what you saw in the color chart, but probably very close. Our recommendation is to be a little flexable when it comes to color and not to seek perfection.

Q- How accurate are the advertised lengths?

A- This is an easy question. Every wig company is obligated to deliver the product that their Web Site was offerring. Each Wig listing has a product description with a length, and if you receive a wig shorter than you were lead to believe, a great injustice has been done. Do not stand for that.

Q-Will the Wig that I purchase be styled exactly as the photo that I saw on line?

A- This depends on the Wig company. Some companies pre-style the wigs and so when you purchase a wig, it should arrive to you already styled as the photo. Other companies show the wig with a beautiful style but are only offerring the wig in it’s raw un-cut state. It would be up to you to take the wig to a stylist of your choice to have it styled. Many women actually perfer to get it styled with a stylist that they trust. The most practical companies will give the consumer a choice of buying the wig un-cut or pre-styled.

Q- Will an On-Line Wig Company explain to me how to care for my wig?

A- A good On-Line company will. There are also so many “How To” Videos on the internet regarding caring for a 100% Human Hair Wig. You can search Google and You Tube and find Videos on how to Brush a Wig, How to Wash a Wig and How to Blow a Wig for example. Search for Wig Blogs and Forums and you will be amazed how much information you can learn about caring for your Wig.

When someone hears for the first time that they are diagnosed with Cancer, shock and disbelief is not uncommon. When reality sinks in, it is very crucial to confront the situation in a calm and organized manner. Being organized will not only help assure a smooth medical journey, but in most cases will serve to actually facilitate the healing process. We at Fortunewigs.com strongly suggest that one should consider creating a journal to record helpful and necessary information. The New York Cancer Center (Medstar) created such a journal and it has helped hundreds of patients in their recovery. This journal is broken down into 9 categories. 1-Communicating with your Doctor. 2-A Monthly Calendar. 3-Doctors and Other Important Contacts. 4-Questions to Ask Your Doctor. 5-Medication Chart. 6-Medical Records and History. 7-Insurance Information. 8-Preparing for Surgery or for a Hospital Stay. 9-Personal Notes and Special Care Instructions.

A journal like this will make each and every day easier to cope with and will also sometimes assist the caregivers with the information they need for proper treatments. An organized plan of action, confidence and a positive attitude goes a long way towards one’s road to recovery.

There are 3 major benefits that a 100% Human Hair Wig has as opposed to a synthetic wig. First of all,the texture. In a human hair wig the texture is real. Unlike a synthetic wig, human hair wigs move and are generally soft and bouncy. Some are straight and silky, while others have more body. The real texture makes the wig very healthy looking.

Second, it styles just like real hair. You can wash it and blow dry it or curling iron it any way you want! (A lot depends on the cut too!!! More layers more volume!) For a casual day you can wear it straight and for a more dressy look you can curl it into soft waves.

Last but not least, it looks so natural. The scalp on the wig looks exactly like a real scalp. The French Top is a method of sewing in the hair in a rootless manner so that it will appear that the hair is coming out of your scalp. A 100% human hair wig is the best kind of wig out there. There are many places on the web that sell them, and although they may be pricey, it?s worth it so you can be comfortable and look pretty a whole day! With a 100% human hair wig you can be yourself and be confident that you will always look amazing.

Just a few years ago, a wig case was a huge box that fit a wig on a head. When someone had to travel with a wig, they needed extra help just to carry along their wig case. Today, we offer a Travel Wig Case that is small and round and very lightweight. We found that there is no need to travel with a wig on a head. Even a 100% Human Hair Wig can be twirled neatly into our travel wig case and when taken out it will only need a little shaking to look as good as ever. Travelling with your wig just got a whole lot easier.

Before you make a decision about buying your wig, it?s important to understand the differences between the types of wigs that are available. Wigs are made from either

• Man made (synthetic) hair, for example acrylic
• Real (human) hair

You can also get wigs that are made of both.

Man made (synthetic) wigs

Synthetic wigs are a lot cheaper than real human hair wigs. They can cost anywhere between $60 and $250. Most synthetic wigs come ready to wear in a wide variety of styles, lengths and colors. You don?t have to style them and they won?t get damaged in the rain. You can usually get your wig quite quickly after having your fitting.Acrylic wigs can be washed and they usually last between 6 and 9 months. This is plenty of time to allow your hair to grow back. Although it may not have got to the length it was before your treatment. The downside to synthetic wigs is that they are not very good with direct heat on them. It can melt the fibers and may even make the hair ?frizz?. This means that you can?t use a hair dryer or curling iron, and you?ll need to wash your wig in cold water.

Real human hair wigs

Real human hair wigs are much more expensive than synthetic ones. The exact cost depends on where you buy the wig and its style and length (visit www.fortunewigs.com for Mazali Comfort wigs at great prices).Prices can range anywhere from about $350 to about $2000 for the highest quality wig. Despite the cost many people prefer to have a real human hair wig.
Real human hair wigs last much longer than synthetic ones – between 3 and 4 years. If you decide to have a real human hair wig you need to have a fitting soon after your treatment begins. This is so it will be ready in time for when your hair begins to fall out. Some real human hair wigs need to be styled and set by a hairdresser. If your wig needs to be cleaned professionally you may need to buy two, so that you always have one to wear. Your wig stylist can tell you if your wig can be washed at home.

You may be looking for ways to keep cool while wearing your human hair wig. Here are some ideas to try:

• Gel band: this is a head-hugging headband that lifts your wig slightly off your scalp, allowing sweat to evaporate, and air to cool your skin. A big plus of the gel band is that it prevents your wig from slipping out of place.
• Wig liner cap: a stretchy cotton skullcap can help absorb sweat and prevent skin irritation. Cotton skullcaps are easy to hand wash and will dry overnight.
• Wig liner fishnet cap: the fishnet cap is naturally ventilated and lifts your wig base away from your head. These caps stretch to fit any head and will help keep your wig in place.
• Cornstarch-based baby powder: use a sprinkle of baby powder on your scalp before you put your wig on for the day. The cornstarch will soak up perspiration and keep you feeling fresh, but won’t irritate you nor cause dry skin.

For a woman who is going through chemotherapy treatments, a positive attitude is crucial. It has been documented that one’s attitude can influence their destiny. In any crisis or dificult time, one must try hard to stay positive. Unfortunately, chemotherapy, besides for being painful and uncomfortable, it usually causes hair loss. A womans hair is her beauty and when faced with the reality of hair loss, it is even more dificult to have a positive attitude. Every Woman’s day begins with her reflection in a mirror. It is important for a woman to look pretty and feel pretty in all situations.

In today’s world, a woman going through Chemotherapy does not have to compromise the way she looks. There are many medically approved cosmetics that can be purchased and many sources of 100% Human Hair Wigs that can be styled to look as natural as her own hair did. 100% Natural Human Hair Wigs are easy to wear and to care for and can make a woman feel pretty even in her most dificult time. Wig Salons and Cosmetoligists all over the world need to be sensitive to the feelings of a woman going through these types of painful situations.Patience is very important and the ability to listen to the client’s needs is essential. For example, a wig stylist should not try to convince a woman that a synthetic wig is better because it costs so little. When a woman is going through Chemotherapy, cost should not be the primary focus. A 100% Human Hair Wig will look so much more natural and therefore most aquaintances would not even recognize that she is wearing a wig. That is very comforting to a cancer patient.

Self esteem and self image can help in the recovery from a disease. My advise is to go all out, keep yourself looking great. Keep up a positive attitude and an optomism that will get you by, so that you can pass on this advise to others in need.May all those in need have a speedy recovery and maintain a positive outlook through it all.

Hair loss and hair thinning can be very stressful. Some people find it the hardest part of having cancer and its treatment. This is understandable because our appearance is closely linked to our feelings of self esteem. Trying to accept sudden changes in your looks that you are not happy with can be very hard. It?s not unusual for people who have lost their hair to feel angry and depressed. You may feel worried about how your friends and family see you. And you may think that you are no longer as physically attractive to your partner.

Social activities can be more of a struggle if you?re trying to cope with a change in your appearance. If you have children or grandchildren you may worry how they feel about seeing you without hair. And you may worry about how their friends will see you, and how this may affect your children. It?s natural to worry about these things. The important thing to remember is that the people closest to you will not see you any differently as a person. They will want to support you as much as they can, so it is important to tell them how you?re feeling. Shutting them out can make you feel more isolated and less able to cope.

Wearing a natural looking Human Hair Wig can certainly lift one’s spirits. Having a positive attitude goes a long way in helping the overall healing process.

If you?re staying in hospital (an inpatient) and having a wig provided on the NHS, the nurses will organize a wig fitter to come and visit you on the ward. Many hospitals will also organize this if you are an outpatient, but it may not happen everywhere.

Your wig fitter will help you decide on a style and color that you are happy with. Don?t be surprised if seeing the wig fitter upsets you. It may be the first time that you really have to face the fact that you are going to lose your hair. You are bound to feel emotional about it. Wig specialists will be very sensitive to this and will try to make the fitting as easy as possible for you.

Don?t feel that you have to choose your wig right away. Take your time and if you don?t feel ready to make a decision on the day, leave it for another week or two. The most important thing is that you don?t rush things and you get a wig that you feel suits you.

You may want to choose your wig before your hair begins to fall out. That way it is much easier for the wig specialist to match your real hair style and color. Also it gives you a bit of time to get used to the idea of wearing a wig. If you do this you will need to get a smaller size once you have lost your hair or choose a wig that adjusts to head size. Many people find it helps to bring along a relative or good friend to their wig fitting. They can support you through this tough time as well as help you choose a wig that suits you best.
