Thanks. I was thinking it would get denied this time around since policy changed.

Now all I have to do is figure out when to go pick it up.

If it is synthetic, the heat can affect it. It won't damage it, just affect the styling. You can always reshape it with a hairdryer on low to medium heat. Just hold the hair in place until it cools, and it will keep that position. I do that to move unruly bangs to the side out of my eyes. I just pull it over, heat it, then let it cool.

You can add curls if you want, too! Curl the hair, add heat, then let it cool. Sometimes I will use a curler roll to get a lock of hair to fall a certain way. Have fun with it! 

Thanks. It's a pretty basic wig. Long in length but straight and slightly layered up front around the bangs/face.

I finally was able to inspect it when I got home, it seems ok. But not sure if it's the new wig I ordered or a wig that has been a show room model while they kept the new one that I tried a month ago.

They said they would put it on hold for me, but it doesn't feel the same as I remember, and it's not even adjusted to me anymore. The tag is not attached to it anymore either, and not even in the box.

They gave me a box with the correct wig info and label on it but the wig itself was just turned inside out and placed in the box, no hair net around it, no tag, or identifying marks on it.

It looks like it could be the same wig, but it def feels and looks a bit ragged. So I don't know.

When I tried it on a month ago, I watched the girl open the box, take it out of the hair net and it had the tag on it. I understand not putting it back in the hair net, but why remove the tag ...

I don't know. I could just be paranoid who knows.

That does sound suspicious, but at least you have one, and for a great price. I doubt that we will be getting any more through the VA.

@Lori Dee yea, it did seem a bit off but I could be over thinking it. Going to call them and inquire about it.

But like you said at least I was able to get a decent brand wig for free and it will prob be our last wig though the VA for the foreseeable future unfortunately.

On a off topic, if I give my wife and any other people who want to l support me and need support themselves, if I give them this website and a resource is there anyway I can block them from viewing my blog?

I def don't mind them coming on here seeking support, advice and seeing how other spouses, family members are dealing with transition, but I think at first while they're still dealing with a lot of the harder difficult emotions that my blog could be damaging to them and the situation
