hi frenchie, thanks i have been on a alopicia ( if thats how it's spelt ) forum and they have mentioned lace front wigs , but i think by reading the forum that they are only available in america at the moment ,i diddn't join the forum just read posts  i am from the u.k , i hope i can get something tomorrow so i can go back to work . i looked in the yellow pages and there is two haidressers quite near me that stock loads of wigs so im just gonna go at 9 am tomorrow and hope for the best  that they have something for me , i neva spoke to the hairdresser as it is not her fault i think i must be allergict to the glue it irratates me so much 

Hi again Sammys,

If you hair is as bad as you say, I woudn't recomment that you rush to get a wig. I think finding the right wig for you takes time and patience and you shouldn't necessarily go to the hairdresser next door, you might end up even more depressed if all you see is ugly or doesn't fit you. I would recommend you to take sick days -after all if it's allergy you got, it's your body reacting- and spend 2 or 3 full days looking around for the best thing for you. Can you wear a hat of a scarf on your head for this hunt? Pretend you converted to islam! Anyway, I wish you good luck for you recovering, and also another little advice, get some special vitamins to increase the growth of your hair.

Get a good wig you're happy with and don't get discouraged--your hair will grow back faster than you think. Exactly a year ago I had a very short crop (think maybe 1 1/2 inches) and my hair was so thin my scalp showed through. I got a few wigs and wore them about six months, then had enough hair for Protac extensions. I couldn't tell from your post whether you've tried these, but I've worn them constantly now for six months and my hair is down past my collar in the back and past chin-length on the sides and is thick and in perfect shiny health! I know I wouldn't have had the patience to grow it out had I not had those trusty wigs for the first and hardest period of the grow-out.

(As a sidenote, as of yesterday I only have one double track of wefts in to give me a little length and fullness around the sides and back. It is SO cute, and my head feels lighter than air. I'll post pics once I've been to my stylist for a trim.)
