Alternative Hair Alchemist - A podcast about everything wigs, toppers and alternative hair!

This past week, someone brought to my attention a website that had "Debra" as part of the name and asked if it was a new line for me.  The site had pictures that were stolen from famous influencers and reputable websites.  By stealing pictures and using similar look alike names and fake reviews, that is just a few of the tactics that these scam artists trick unsuspecting buyers into thinking they are the real deal!  This week I talk about some of the things to look for.  But always, always, make sure you know who you are buying from!  That's the best way to avoid getting ripped off. Next best line of defense, ask before buying from a trusted wig group.

Being true to yourself is what authenticity is about! It doesn't mean your physical appearance, it doesn't mean you can only have hair that you grew yourself.....let's talk about what authenticity means and why you aren't being 'fake' if you embrace alternative hair!

The ORIGINAL alternative hair alchemist ✌💘💇‍♀️

This week we wrap up the last five of the top twenty searched questions by wearers of wigs and toppers.

How to I properly clean and care for my wig?

What is the difference between a lace front and a full lace wig?

How long does a wig typically last with regular use?

Can a wear a wig while swimming or exercising?

Are there any specific tips for wearing a wig in hot weather?

How do I secure my wig for a more natural and comfortable fit?

Answers to these and many more questions are answered throughout all the episodes of this podcast.  I was very pleased when I reviewed all of the previous episodes because most every question was covered in depth much more than just today's episode.

Any if you have any burning wig questions, just drop me a line through the contact forms on the website or find me on social media.

Much peace, love and alternative hair to you!

If you are worried that someone "will know" you are wearing a wig or hairpiece, fear not! If you do it right, nobody has to know unless you tell them.  But here's a recap of the reactions you may get if you decide to tell someone that your hair is yours, but you didn't grow it!

The time to replace your alternative hair is mainly up to you! My best advice is don't wait until the last minute! But here are the key things that I see that show wear in your alternative hair, and most importantly, don't feel guilty about self care!  Plus, a big surprise....a new shop opening in the USA!

Hand tied wigs take on the average, 40 hours to produce each, where wefted wigs take about 8 hours each according to one of the major manufacturers my shop carries.  But allow yourself to try a good one if you have the chance, here are the five advantages you will find.

Thank you for listening and as always,

Peace, Love and Alternative Hair!

Sometimes you can get a really great deal on buying a wig or topper that simply didn't work for someone else.  It's a great way to snag a bargain, if you know what to look for and most of all, trust the seller!
