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

Not everything you may hear or read on the internet is accurate for everyone.  Often people think a wig is going to look 'more natural' if it is human hair, if it has a lace front, or if it is hand-tied.  This should help you understand that not all wigs or toppers are bad just because they aren't human hair or are classic construction.

Even if mass produced, wigs and toppers have an individual element to them.  When you compare two wigs that are the same style and the same color, you will see differences in these three things:  fit, length, and color distribution.  I will discuss several of the reasons for that and what to reasonably expect.

Thank you for listening!

Retailers often advertise and sell items as "open box".  While the definition generally means that the packaging has been opened, and therefore the price is significantly lower than the regular price.  While that could save you a chunk of change, these items are usually final sale so you it's best if you trust the seller.  

Thanks for listening!  Any questions or episode suggestions, please send them in and if you want to drop me a line, I would love to hear from you!

When you have hair loss the best time to check out your alternative hair solutions is earlier in your hair loss journey rather than later.  As much as you can try to prepare to get that perfect wig or hairpiece on the first attempt, if you allow yourself some time to adjust to it, it will be a smoother transition. And if I can help you with some alternative hair alchemy of your own, let me know! -------Debra

When you are new to wigs, it's natural to want to stay on the lower end of the cost spectrum, but there are differences between a wig that is very low priced and a top-level authentic brand name wig.  Construction, the materials it's made out of, the colors and how comfortable it feels on your head are some of the big differences.  When you trust the seller or shop you are buying from, you will find that spending a little more on yourself is so worth it!

When you are new to alternative hair and choosing one, finding the right color, texture that feels 'real' plus style and fit and trying to find all of those qualities in one wig or topper, here's why it truly is a bit of a challenge.
