Title: Hair issues
Post by: Kc1058 on January 06, 2018, 07:49:51 PM
I've decided that due to grooming standards in both the Navy and my CIV job and since I can't actively transition in either QUITE YET-
AND since I want to start growing my hair out - I'm going to grow it out just on top. I can wear covers to keep it hidden.
I've seen some nice  styles like this and know  they can't all be achieved successfully, but I'm going to try.
Command decisions -They have to be made.

Yeah!! It can be like a "undercut" type of hair style! That could look super cute and a little bit edgy!! I used to cut my hair like that all the time and bring it over to one side and curl it!!

I need to do something to get my own hair going. Top line wigs are $$$.

Heck yeah they are. I want one from uniwigs that's synthetic and it's still almost $200. 😭

You don't really need a top of the line wig.
If you take care of it, a wig in the $40 to $65 is usually fine. The one I have on in my photo cost $45.

Really? Where did you get it from?

Might try Wigsbuy.com   large selection and depending on style takes about two weeks to get it. I have two real hair wigs from them that I don't use all that often anymore but are very nice at about $180 apiece. But they have tons of synthetics to choose from too starting at about $39 dollars.   Not an endorsement as there are many other online wig places that do the same thing. It is just the one I am familiar with.

The wig compliments your lovely face.  I have never worn one myself but as I progress down the HeaRT road I'm sure I'll have to remember that when the time comes.  Thank you for sharing.

+1 on what Cali said. It does frame your face well. I'll have to give Vogue a look.
Thanks girl! [emoji1380]

Yeah, I switched to wigs back in June after I had to cut my hair shorter. I wasn't happy about it at the time, but it's worked out great.

I really like that they gives me a much better hairline on my forehead. (I pretty much have a fivehead.) It also makes it much easier to play with different colors and styles.

That cool.  I'm waiting for the HRT to take a good hold and decide what I'll do then.  I've looked at a few wig types and colors but looked only thus far
