I have four wigs that I no longer use as I'm fortunate with my own hair.



They are synthetic monofilament, cared for and washed in wig shampoo and conditioner.  They are size petite and originally came from Celebrity Wigs in Australia. The style is Carol and this image is quite good at the shape texture and colouring.

They cost in the region of $300, you can check on line for their current cost.

I'm happy to give these away to members of the community who may not be as fortunate as I in affording wigs. I wore them routinely as I started to go FT I passed as well in them as I do now that I am FT.

- I prefer my own hair though

If you are interested contact me through pm or my susan's email address (cindyjames@susan.org).

Do let me know why you want one in case I get too many enquiries I will try to judge the 'most deserving'. I offer no guarantees, I want no payment, I will need an address to send them to, there is a limit of one per applicant.

I will never reveal your details, so your anonymity is guaranteed in that respect.

Cindy.

If only I knew if they would fit and if only  knew if they would be worth the postage to try one.

I have no idea what my fit is, last I checked, I had a 7-8 hat size (whatever that means).

I wouldn't mind any hair right now.

There are some links on this page that helps with sizing, thanks Wiki Staff!

Well my beret says 7 1/8 which means little to this discussion, but according to that wiki, I am NOT a petite, I'm a large.

Measured out to 24.5 inches measured from back of head base of skull to forehead as was told to do so.

Even if I am off and it is an 'average' I am still not a petite.

Drats.

Thanks Sis- why didn't I think of that - probably average more than petite, sizing is not exact in wigs as we should know.

Still available.

I'm going to take the plunge, and risk it

I'd be interested in seeing it. Might be a life moment for all I know.

Let me know if you are still able to add me to the list.

Either 2 or 3 left

One left at the moment!

Thanks Cindy, it's going to be a very  VERY long day when it arrives and I get the needed bravery to try it on.

I will no doubt be very stressed out, very nervous, and totally worried that it won't live up to my expectations.

But I need to know I guess.

Oh, the wig sizes are exact, it's our odd assortment of heads that throws a wrench into the works!

Hee hee, I have to keep reminding myself that my ego may be enormous but my head size is average.

Just keep telling yourself that!  <running away>

I am so pleased for you Lesley.

I just have this feeling you will look fabulous.

And feel as good.

Cindy will be THE FIRST to get a picture of me when I get the needed bravery to take any hehe. I'm going to at the very least take a pic in the wig regardless of fit just so she can at least chuckle with me (I sure hope I am laughing and not crying though).

Expectations are nothing but unresolved dreams. I have been out to dinner, shopping and theatre wearing these wigs, and I was going to go FT in them hence I had four to cover 24/7/365. In the end when I went FT I decided to try my own hair and I have stylists who now look after me. They love me and I love them and I respect their ability to create me.

Funnily when we are TG and starting on our paths we have problem with that. Expectations, desire and dream become a mismash of confusion and uncertainty. We become better at it with time as we accept ourselves.

As others have said we are our own worse enemies. No matter how far we travel we face 'stuff'.

I was told by my therapist that I had the most natural transition that he had ever seen, I believe him. I have worried myself sick for the last fortnight because everyone I meet treats me as a woman, no matter where I am or what I wear or my make up or whatever.

Ahhh go figure

I became frightened that my internal acceptance wasn't keeping pace, yet I have known I'm female all my life, go figure, hormones and life play havoc. We are woman who face odd problems!

A wig for me was both transforming and hateful. I remember when my first arrived. I eagerly put it on. To be kind I could have looked like one of the Beatles, but I didn't look like a woman.

I cried. I was sort of destroyed. I hurt.

So I tried some make up with it.

I tried clothes with it.

I grew.

All of a sudden I was her, I could see her in the corner of the mirror. Just a glance but she was there.

Never ever let the girl out because she never can go back.

Wigs are curse and a blessing. You are enjoying wearing a piece of jewellery, and I'm very pleased. But until you find you, you will be a man with a wig on.

It is up to you to deal with that.

I will try to help, as we all will. But you walk your path.

Hugs

Cindy

You know something Sis?

I like having sisters that I love.

Wish I had some. Mmmmm

Ok I have addresses from Andrea in Tassie and from Lesley.

No addresses from the other interested people.

So they are now open again.

Two wigs left.

Going going going???

Amusing you have trouble giving them away

I am not sure what I will look like in them, but I know this, I sent the wife yesterday to the hair dressers for a new look. I told the hair dresser, 'her hair looks dreadful, it's clearly dead' (the appearance was awful). I told her just use your imagination, give her a new look.

So she now has a new look and it really made her happy.

Man I wish I had the ability to just 'change my look' so easily, but male pattern hair loss completely ruins this.

I can't wait to see the look I get with hair on top and in front again. I have not seen this since about 1985.
