Find a professional hair stylist and cosmetologist that you trust and can communicate with. Consult with several different people until you are comfortable. Don’t leave yourself without options. There are many wig companies and many professional hair stylists. Don’t be talked into a purchase that you are not comfortable with. Sometimes it is helpful to take this first step with the help of a friend. They can be lifesavers.

If possible, gather old pictures of yourself and different wigs that you like. Take them with you to the consultant. If you want a new look, search magazines and hairstyle books. With the help of your professional hair stylist there may be a hairpiece that will look like the desired style you want, or one that can be cut and styled to suit you.

Be sure to find a person that will treat you with dignity and honor. You need this person to care about how you are going to feel and how you look when you leave. You want someone you will feel comfortable going back to.

Buyer Beware! Do your research! When considering your purchase wigs online, you may want to think about purchasing two hairpieces

Like shoes, one hairpiece will get worn out faster. It is also helpful to have a backup in case one is dirty.
