I also know that it is overwhe ...

Back in 2017, practically nobody was using the term "alternative hair' for wigs and toppers. I deliberately chose that term to help change the perception of "wig" to become more acceptable. Words have power, and it worked to an extent! But, I got tired of explaining the term as I meant it: alternative hair is just that....an ALTERNATIVE to hair you…

There's a lot of different variables in your choices of wigs and toppers out there to consider when choosing your next wig or topper.

It's true, there is a grief associated with lots of things, and hair loss is one of those.

So the healthy thing to do is to acknowledge yo…
