"I am looking forward to going back to a real hair wig after my 6 month trial but I will miss the time I saved washing/styling the heat resistant synthetic wig. I will still continue to use this wig on a regular basis but I will swap between Heat resistant synthetic and real hair. Real hair is sooo time consuming to wash, dry and style. Whereas the Heat Resistant Synthetic is super quick and easy. It is difficult to choose between the two so it is lucky I have both!"
Today when I went to see Andrea she was delighted at how fantastic it still looked six months on... She cut some of the length off for me as I am having a baby in July I really think this wig is going to be my saving grace with it being so low maintenance! There will be no time for messing about with Real Hair! I really think it looks much better in a shorter style for this kind of wig. It may be heat resistant but it still is a fibre hair wig and it would get caught in my collar and get a bit messy.
I love the new shorter style and below you can see some photos.
As this is a made to measure wig the price of it is considerably higher than a off the peg wig. But the snug fit of a made to measure is fantastic. I think that now my hair has been cut to a more manageable length the wig will last the same length of time as a real hair wig which is up 2 years if looked after!
A real hair made to measure wig is around £1500 dependent on length.
The price of a made to measure heat resistant synthetic wig is £800 no matter what length.
I think this is great value considering how long it lasts and how low maintenance it is.
Whatever your budget Andrea will be able to find something to suit you. If an off the peg wig does not quite fit you correctly she can customise this for your herself and she can cut and style the wig to suit your face shape.

Wow! Are these heat resistant wigs easy to find or just available from the place you use? I am still a wig newbie and am about to graduate from synthetic to a cheapish human hair wig to see how I cope with the real deal. The heat resistant does seem worth me investigating further. Thanks for posting and you blog in general has been so informative and reassuring. x
ReplyDeleteHi thanks for your comment! :o) This is a new wig that Hairoom have been developing so this particular one is only available from them. There are other variations out there called many different things... but from what i have seen Hairoom offer the lowest price and really fantastic service so worth a visit! Let me know if you have any more questions. Aimee xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, It is a bit far from Glasgow to travel for now, given the initial wig-fest financial outlay I have already made to get me started, but I will put one on my wish list!
