As a black woman who's been wearing wigs for a long time for fun. I can honestly say any lady wearing wigs should not be afraid to put that wig on the dresser and cuddle up to your man. Lol any real man will understand. This is an interesting perspective from her because she is speaking to alot of things that black women think they exclusively go through. like kissing a guy and your wig shifting lol. A man should be so excited that his woman can switch it up for him at any time he literally can literally have a different girlfriend every day of the week! wearing wigs is so acceptable in the black community that it is literally not a thing to NOT talk about wigs with your man. I would never part ways with my wigs and my many looks for one single penis.
I love that you said this! I grew up in a very diverse community and was very familiar with the black community and how accepted hair is. When I was 17 I went to a weave shop and the women there helped me sew clips on my tracks since there wasn’t much clip in extensions in! I think it should be widely accepted across all communities but that is why I have this platform and I’m trying to do so 😊❤️
😂😂🤣 that’s hilarious!!
Vanity Luxe+ Do you wear your wig to bed?
AMAZING, I'm mixed and I wish I would have done my research earlier. I quit wearing wigs after my last man said it was 'weird' when I showed up every now and then in one. Ugh, I've learned! You've got to choose make-up, shoes, hair, wigs, and every other gender preference that excites you and makes you feel great over a man! I shaved my head recently. Sometimes I like rocking a look that says "I veto ALLoyall" hehehe Of course some guys thought I was sexy, bald ;) Now for wigs, thank you for sharing
Oh and my mom was wearing a wig when she danced with Smokey Robinson one night. It shifted too but she was in heaven, so she acted like it didn't happen and held on as long as she could
Vanity.Luxe+ I love your attitude. It's seriously like black people are healing the world!!!!!!!!!!!
I wear wigs for fun if a guy don't like it.. I pick the wigs over him
😂 agreed
LOL.
Me too 😂
BigFat RedMoon ahahaha
Hell yea!
As a 20 year old male who’s going through his own thinning of hair, this definitely helped me. Losing my hair has helped showed empathy towards women losing their hair. I’m glad I’d never judge a women for wearing a wig
That makes me happy to hear!!!
Every man I've dated in my adult life was either thinning or bald already. I personally never cared about this. Keep your chin up, you will be just fine!
Im 46 now, by the time I graduated Highschool I had a recited hairline, I wore a lot or hands kept my hair short with number 2s on to and skin fades the. At 27 I started shaving my head look totally fit me and It's something l wouldn't change if I could if I can grow my hair back I wouldn't bother.
Thank you for this. Don't you worry, you are a very cute person. You have beautiful eyes.
You Are Awesome.
I was in a conversation with a man that was telling me a story about standing behind a lady and he could see her scalp. He was making fun of her. After listening to his story, I told him my story. Hair loss runs in my family.People can be cruel that's why we need to own our situation. I look at him as being shallow. Thank you for talking about a subject that can be tricky...I Love it when people support each other and not judge.
There is too much stigma with women and hair loss.. men be balding all the time and more than women..they don't have the right to judge.😒 hair doesn't define you as a person.. your heart does..x
couldn't have put it better!
Well said!
100% correct. Only when you realise that your hair doesn't define who you are, is the moment you start enjoying your journey. Also... Now I can wear the hair and styles I've always wanted. The freedom you start experiencing is so amazing.
Exactly! It's like a big guy only wanting skinny girls.
@Stephen Gleason 🙄
I am in a relationship with a lovely guy, he accepted me for who I am, I wear wig around him, I wear my own hair, very even worse condition than yours, but he said: never mind, hair loss can happen to anyone, you are beautiful to me, you are real fighter, strong woman & that is why I want to be with, not with some weak girl who will cry because she has to cut 1inch of her long hair. U are beautiful the way u are.
Sounds like you’re with a great guy!!
Aww 🥰
Ida, gdje nabavljas perike? 😊
That's great 👍🏼 I wish my husband can understand this
"It's a pretty good way to weed out people who shouldn't be in your life" Hey, this was a really unexpected gift to my hair loss and i never thought of it that way before. thanks so much for making me feel better. You look gorgeous!
Thank you! I wouldn’t want to live up to the standards of a guy who expects physical perfection! So it definitely weeds out the bad ones!
Hair loss for a guy is tough. I can’t even imagine what it’s like for girls.
Ya unfortunately for women it just hasn’t been talked about as publicly
Very hard.
Is it really?
It’s beyond humiliating. A woman’s hair is her crown. Without it, you have to make concessions with yourself to reclaim your “beautiful”. If you don’t feel it, others won’t see it.
@@gmlaster It's exactly the same for men, they just pretend it doesn't traumatize them to avoid being made fun of by their peers.
Thank you! I’m also divorced. My husband left me for someone else when my hair started falling out. Traction alopecia from wearing braids too long. It’s clear that my bald patches are never gonna fill in without a transplant. And I can’t wear weaves without repeating the problem that made me bald in the first place. So I bought a wig. Then another. Then I really started getting into it. Then I started wearing color contacts to compliment my wigs. Now I’m about to branch out into colors.
I haven’t had a man in my life since my husband left in 2012 because I had a young child and I didn’t want to bring strange guys around him. So I did this strictly for me and my self esteem. Now I feel beautiful again. As my son is going to college next year, dating is a possibility again. But after my husband leaving me, I have PTSD about letting a man see me without a wig. I’ve been all weirded out about it. But this really helped. The right guy is going to be into ME…not my hair.
I am guy and i am getting bald as well
Honestly, i thought it was only women who dump their partner at difficult times. It is really sad to learn that there are also "men" out there behaving like women mostly do.
Girl... I understand what you mean and how you feel. It might be a big deal to you but maybe is not for others. If it makes you feel good and pretty just like wearing a nice dress then there is no need to say anything about. No need to justify yourself. I have seen so many girls on UA-cam with such a beautiful natural hair using wigs everyday just because they want to change their look. None needs to know but if you don't want to "hide" This fact remember you are sooo much more than just "a wig" and any good guy will accept this and won't mind 😁.

gmlaster+ I pray God blesses you and heals you in ALL ways. I'm sorry you had to suffer the pain of experiencing another person's ugliness.
The wig your wearing on this video is amazing so natural x
thank you!
@@losinghair-notheartsarah3703 what brand is it?
Where did you buy your wig? It looks very pretty. I too have hair loss and would like something like that.
@@dannyt3668 it's a topper from Madison wigs!
@@-Diana469 topper from madison wigs!
I don't tell until he means something to me and I mean something to him! And by then my hair don't mean anything to either of us!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
TheLadyofLace I agree. Ain’t no one’s business. I would wear a wig to bed with a man and I know women who wear different colored wigs on bed with their men for fun and roll play.
but I’d rather not find out they’re an asshole once I already caught feelings lmao
Same :)
This woman is drop dead gorgeous. 😍 Literally, one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen. She also seems like a very wholesome person. Any guy lucky enough to date her, he better be ok with it or they may need to re-think his own priorities in what’s important in a partner.
JM+ I COULD NOT AGREE MORE!!!!!!!!!! With a face like that who even needs hair for crying out loud and she's so sweet ...
Wigs save my life . Thank god for them !!! I have so many compliments on my hair all the time ... I just say thanks now 😂 well it is my hair as I bought it haha xx
same!!! so grateful for them
Which brand wigs do u wear.. Pls telme
Me too!
@@nottysara myfirstwig is good
Guys like confident women, and people who wear wigs usually have a lot of confidence 😉
:)
My hair started thinning at 15 years old due to major stress. It’s not as bad as some women out there but it still makes me feel insecure. I am 22 and i just got my first wig a month ago. My fiancé who has been with me since I was 14 supports me 100%. He is amazing.
Aww❤️
Supportive partners are the best!
I view wigs as a fashion accessory, not necessarily as “hair.” I’m always changing things up, lol!
It’s the best!!
exactly
I wish I knew how to wear wigs
Jenny Smith+ I really like that approach- everything about it! Says it all really. I hope more people will read your comment and really think about it!
@@OfficialCynthiaHoney you can learn online! Learn the different types of vocabulary first
It’s great that we are talking about this. I started losing my hair as a teenager and it was barely spoken about or known and I felt so alone in my experience with no real support. I love that there are more and more open discussions like these taking place.
I’m sorry you had that experience! My goal is to normalize it!
So many women are loosing their hair these days....more than ever before. In fact, I read an article about the future evolution of the human race (as we all know , we as humans species are still evolving....just like any other organisms around us) and most likely in the future we won’t have hair. Unfortunately for now....specially for us women , loose our hair is so traumatic and sad ...plus the criticism that comes with it just doesn’t help. But I must say...I think man are way more supportive than women.... specially women that haven’t suffered from this condition ever before. Hair in women is associated with beauty.... I even view it that way when I look at myself......I’m suffering from hair loss as well, not to an extreme but I know bc I know myself, we all know our bodies more than anyone else. Sometimes I think that perhaps there is something in the food we eat or the water, or the air that it’s causing this .... or perhaps stress. Anyway....at this point I’ll try to take steps into a better life style in terms of my health.....and in the meantime....I’ll also hope for better wigs (I don’t wear one, my case is not that there) and less judgmental , critical, mean women. To the rest.... keep your head up...be brave...love yourself to the moon and back.
When she said “I wish I liked him” ooh girl I felt that 😂😂
🤣
Good to hear ..I think women wearing extensions has made things a little more acceptable.
Agreed! It’s evolved so much over the past few years!
I’ve always worn wigs. So anytime I went on a first date, I would wear my hair naturally to see the reaction. They should love you for your hair as it is and in a wig! Good luck love.
You’re awesome! Thanks 😊
I'm 21 and lost most of my hair from accutane 4 years ago. I've been wearing hair extensions but now my hair is too thin to use them! It's huge insecurity of mine and I've been thinking about getting a wig. This was a huge help, thank you!!
great!!!! :)
I lost loads of hair from Accutane too! It cleared the skin up though so that's a bonus lol
I lost almost all of my hair from Accutane, my doctor never told me about that possbility. I am still devastated and I still try to regrow it, but 3 years had passed already and my hair is only getting worse.
I ve lost my eyebrows because of accutane 😄 there are like little bald spots
Caitlin Flanagan oh no! My boyfriend had to have accutane too, but his hair was fine luckily. I however, destroyed my hair with bleach and dye etc, literaly had bald spots. I shaved it completely off and now I only wear wigs, and underneath I have oil treatments on my hair. Honestly wigs are so fun, you get any hair colour you want whenever and it always looks great. They aren’t even that expensive, if you get a lace front one on Depop a good quality synthetic one will be about £50? However you can get really nice ones on AliExpress for £10! (Make sure you read reviews though ahah). But honestly just wear wigs, I feel so confident in mine:) if you put castor oil on your scalp under the wig as you wear them you should notice your natural hair getting more and more healthy ❤️
I have a thyroid condition. Been noticing my hair falling out more. Don’t need wigs yet. But if I do, you give me so my confidence and you’re such a beautiful person inside and out! You are such an inspiration! ❤️
What thyroid condition did you have ? Is your hair ok now ?
Sushmita: Maria I had a mane of beautiful silky hair but due to thyroid matters I lost 3/4 of my "crown" difficult dealing with hair-loss (Alopecia Aeriata) but clip-on extensions and toppers has given me back my confidence so don't feel alone - there are many women facing this 'pandemic' which is global and knows no age difference. Gaining knowledge on UA-cam is extremely therapeutic 😌 Take care 🙏
Same w me...thyroid...I was dating a guy for several yrs and by time it started really thinning out (he couldn't tell but I could) I told him I had some cool wigs and it actually turned him on bc I was like a diff person everytime! I moved away however and havent really been dating so who cares?!
I'm 31 and have been losing my hair since I was about 19. It's been slowly falling out but it's been getting to the point where I have to use makeup in my hair (a lot of my loss is right at my hairline) and wear my hair up all the time and still can show bald spots if i dont use enough dry shampoo. When I do try to wear it down I basically have an anxiety attack over wrestling with it to get it to look good.
So recently my mom (who also has significant hair loss) and I have really been trying to get into wigs. We've never worn them before and it can be jarring looking in the mirror and seeing a full head of hair where there hasn't been one for years if not decades. We're in the process of letting our eyes get used to seeing a wig on our heads without thinking it looks terrible lol.
One of my biggest anxieties about starting to wear wigs and possibly having to shave my head did have to do with my boyfriend. He had expressed at one time or another that he likes long hair or that he likes my hair, etc. So I was scared what he would think. I just ordered my first nice wig (something short in a fun color to hopefully encourage me to wear it more). I told him I bought it and showed it to him. He said "oh I think that'll look really cute on you" and when I asked him what if I have to shave my head at some point he responded "thats fine, your hair wouldn't get in my face when we cuddle anymore" 😂.
All that to say watching these kinds of videos and talking to people I'm close to is helping ease my anxiety and actually has me kind of excited. Wigs might become a new hobby like doing my own nails 😁.
Hope you found one you liked!
Your so right , having an attitude like ‘hell yeah I can change my hair up every two mins without damage or commitment I love it ‘ it kinda makes the whole thing a positive not a negative 👌🏼
it really does! every guy has commented how they like how it's benefit me instead of been a constant insecurity
Losing Hair - Not Heart Sarah Thanks for replying ♥️ I have gotten really brave about my wig wearing now . It’s still as impressive as dying my hair black to platinum in one day I feel pmsl . The fact everyone thinks it’s my own and it’s not is an achievement in itself I think ! There is only one women at my sons school who said to me ‘omg who does your hair ?!’ I said oh I do myself... without telling it was a wig ( mainly because I was running late ) felt bad after for kinda lying buy I did ‘do’ it myself ... lol I applied it to perfection so she thought was growing out my head 😂 Ahhh thank the lord for these amazing wig makers , and all the fabulous black ladies who have taught me so much ! And to finally feel happy and not stressed about my ever balding hair . Power to you sista ! Let’s feel positively wigging fabulous xxx
Thankyou for the great video. I’ve been living with hair problems for about 15 years. Three years ago I couldn’t take it anymore and shaved my head. It was the best decision I have ever made. Of course I have wigs that I love to wear but I see them more like clothing. When I go on a date I don’t wear anything on my head. They have to like me the way I am. I know people stare or say rude things but it has nothing to do about me, it’s their problem not mine.
👍👍👍😊
people are always going to hate but gotta do what we love!
You are gorgeous, strong & give amazing advice! You are such an inspiration to women of all ages & stages sweetie. I’m 51 years young (haha), with thinning hair just above my bangs and absolutely love your channel and your wisdom. Keep shining!
btw this wig right now looks so natural on you, that if u didn't tell it's a wig, I wouldn't recognize it all. Someone did such a good job here.
Thank you 🙌🏼
Thank you for making this channel and this video. I am 16 years old with androgenic alopecia and my hair has been falling since I was 13 (a year after I got my first period) and have always been anxious about how men/my husband will view me when I grow up (ifI ever get married) and this made me feel so relieved. Thank you.
I've always ended the conversation with "If you see me as a red-head, look out!" and smile and laugh.
lolol love that
My hubby don’t care I wear them cos of my thinning hair but he does mind that I spend bloody thousands on them every two mins pmsl . I literally can’t stop buying them it’s obsessive 😂😂😂😂
Wigs are fun
lol totally relate
I know. I went from one or two to a closet full of them. I can’t get enough of them. Do you mix your wigs with different color contact lenses? Green eyes with blonde hair, grey eyes with black hair, etc? I haven’t dated in awhile, but I like to think that a man might get into a woman who looks like a different person every time we go out. Like maybe he’s able to feel like he’s cheating without actually cheating.
gmlaster I have tried diff lenses but my eyes are rather small so I find the genetic lenses quite uncomfortable 😣 I have an obsession with dying my ultra fine and thin natural hair unfortunately which over the years have left me with so many chemical bobs 😂😂😂😂 Now i have wigs in my life it saves me so much stress !!! Not just that I can have the length and volume I crave but I can switch color as and when please without all the damage . They are a gift from god arnt they xxx
I have become WIG-SPOILED! My hair has grown back enough to do something with but I like the wigs better, Yes, I also love them, however 3 are exactly alike. I figured I better stock up while I can!
More people need to speak up about it. I am not bald, but I have very thin and sort hair that never grows long since birth. When I was a child people made fun of me and told me I look like a guy. I' ve been wearing extensions since I am teenager and there is still a stigma about hair extensions. Like people assume I am "cheap" or a bitch. I am so tired of this society,sometimes I just wish I could dissapear. This makes dating very hard because most men want a natural beauty and I know I am not perfect, like dating is already complicated.
I'm sorry you've experienced that. People can be really horrible sometimes :( I think there is too much emphasis on outward beauty. Natural beauty comes from within! Hold on to hope
Hopefully, you're meeting some better quality guys. I used to live in a state where a ton of people brags about how active they are, and healthy. Then I moved to a very intellectual area. Dating is so much better here. I miss my family that still lives in my old state, but unless I was married, I'd never move back there. Anyway, you could be in an area like that. I'm super new to wearing wigs, but I'm also a professional cuddler, so I get up close with a lot of guys. Most guys don't care that I'm wearing a wig. Some of my regulars love they can make special request for what I wear. Sure, I've ran into a jerk here or there, but they are jerks regardless of anything about me. That's on them, and the sooner you know that's who they are, the less time you wast with them.
You are so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your thoughts & experience on this sensitive topic.
Thank you!
I can understand where you’re coming from, I wear hair loss concealers and I would always tell girls that I dated about my hair transplants and using make up for my hair. Never had any bad reactions. People only make it a big deal if you make it a big deal. Your hair looks great btw 🙌🏼
I totally relate with everything you’ve said, especially about being passionate about hair loss and helping others with hair their own hair loss. You’ve got a new subscriber.
I’m glad girls don’t mind! They shouldn’t honestly. Hair is just Hair but personality is foreverrr hahaa
Thank you for this video! Not only have you given sound advice about how to share about our hair loss journey, but you’ve also given fabulous advice on how to distinguish that some people will just not be the right match. I appreciated your sharing about the dates you have gone on and the short relationships in between. It was encouraging to hear that you knew when a guy fell in the category of the friend zone and moved on. My (adult) daughter has loads of hair, but this video would totally be appropriate for what she’s going through now. It’s all about having the courage to move forward. You’re so awesome! 😊
Thank you for addressing this subject on video. Now, I can openly say something and not worry about it anymore since I wear a hair piece at times for thinning hair. You are awesome!
"It's a really good way to weed out" is the best thing I've heard all day. You're beautiful. I am new to alopecia and I am honestly scared and sad. I am diving into the world of wigs so thank you for this video
I'm replying late but I hope you dove into the wig world!
@losinghair-notheartsarah3703 my hubby is supportive but I'm concerned about a coworker that doesn't like me pointing it out at work. We have to wear hats so I'm looking for a topper or ponytail. I just don't want to be mortified when my work enemy uses it to make a spectacle out of me. Maybe I can start out small but I don't know where to start. I have to wear a ball cap or a visor at work so there are things I feel like I could pull off.
YOU are such a stunner 🌟! And - yes - to be able to explain the “hair situation” matter of factly and with confidence is EVERYTHING! Also - I think this is my favorite hair on you! ♥️
Thank you 💕❤️ this piece is my fave too!
Thanks for sharing, I'm very self-conscious about my thinning hair and worry about this topic a lot! This gives me a little more peace of mind that it won't be a deal breaker.
I been offering hair replacement in my barbershop for men I’ve been dabbling in it with 3 clients for a year and I’m ready to go all in ! I love your stories and I can totally sympathize for clients going through this listening to your story
I love that you pointed out that it helps to be open with close friends and family and that helps grow confidence by the time you start a new relationship.
BTW. I love this piece so much!
you're the sweetest
@Crystal L. because of hair loss?
@Crystal L. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much for your videos! I've struggled with hair loss since I was 15 (I'm 20 now) but I've always been scared to wear wigs for a multitude of reasons... I think this year is gonna be the year though! Your videos are super informative
It’s so scary at first but taking the plunge is worth it!
Thank you for this. Just recently became single and the person I was with prior went thru the whole hair loss deal with me and witnessed it all while it happened. I have been so so so afraid and insecure on how to navigate the dating scene with hair loss. So I really appreciate this a lot ❤️
girl you got this! it's less scary as time goes on. wishing you the best!
Same. Totally get you
A most EXCELLENT way of discovering what a guy is made of 👍
Additionally, it would be totally fun for the guy, because he’ll never know what to expect and you’ll always be a source of fun surprise for him. 🥰
YES 🙌🏼 it reveals a guy’s character real quick!
I am tearing up as I'm watching this video, after binging several others. I'm a college student and like you, my hair began falling out due to stopping birth control. It has been 3 years of chronic shedding and heartbreak, and now that my once-extremely thick hair is very noticeably thinning, I've been really struggling with learning more about wearing helper hair. More personally, I have also been petrified about the idea of entering the data scene as an alopecia patient. I just want to thank you so much for your openness...your story and insights resonate so, so much.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ hairloss is a tough journey at first but there is so much hope! Wishing you the best!
This is so helpful! It is good to see wigs toppers weaves extentions become more fashionable for everyone as an accessory. It removes the shame and alot of the fear associated with hair replacement or enhancement period to include dating. This kind of conversation is necessary! You absolutely ROCK! ✨👌⚡
That’s my goal is to normalize it! Thank you 💕
@@losinghair-notheartsarah3703 + I want to write a fictional story about it. I've read so many girl's experiences. I really care. You're great. God bless you.
Im married for almost 13 years now and I’m so glad my husband is being super cool about it. He is buying me toppers and wigs and he complimented my topper, he thinks it looks natural and cute. It made me more confident to have his support ❤
Aww I love that! He sounds like a great man 🤍
Thank you for sharing your story. We learn to stop judging ourselves and then we can stop judging others :)
I was so embarrassed when I first started losing hair. I had no idea that so many women struggle with hair loss. Now I keep my bio hair short and experiment with fun colors. I also wear wigs sometimes. You look beautiful in your topper. Thanks for the video. I'm sure it helped so many ❤
There are SO many women out there experiencing it. Hairloss doesn't discriminate against age or ethnicity either! Thank you for supporting ♥️
You said something that gave me an aha moment...One of your dates said cool..you had a problem and you figured out how to solve it and move on with life! That’s a great way of putting it out there. You sound confident and in control and it’s not owning you. 💕
Thanks!! I haven’t received a negative response yet and most guys are really nice about it. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t make the cut 😊
Your wig is gorgeous! It looks so natural.
thank you for sharing your story I have experienced a similar situation and was on birth control off the bc with a stressful situation, I've been unsure about wearing a wig So glad i came across your story.
Thank you so much for this video. You are such an inspiration to many women. Losing our hair is difficult, and everyone is different, but confidence in any walk of life is so important. This is a journey, and owning it brings strength, confidence and compassion. Dating when experiencing hair loss is like an extra filter. : ) If the other person is unsure, not encouraging and unable to have a conversation about this condition that affects millions and millions of people, then they may not be the right person to put your energy into. Chances are, they will know someone or possibly have a child that experiences hair loss at some point in their life. It doesn't make sense to be un-open to it. Underneath it all, the person and their contributions to this world are truly what matter. You are beautiful!! Lots of hugs! xoxo - Andrea
totally agree! thank you
Thank you for sharing this! 💙💙 Your hair looks great by the way.
thanks!
I love how you brought this up! I had thyroid cancer years ago and I lost so much hair and my bangs won't grow much so I use clip in bangs daily. I don't date much like I used to but i agree with you to bring up this concern when dating!💞you are beautiful as you are!
💕
I love this video and am soooo glad I found your channel! I have been losing hair since I was 16 from PCOS. At 25 it rapidly sped up and I began wearing cover up powder about 30. I had Covid this past December and about 6 weeks ago my hair started coming out in handfuls. I bought a wig and have been wearing it for about a week. I’ve been single for about 9 years so the whole thought of dating with a wig is TERRIFYING! I am interested in one of my coworkers and I believe he feels the same way. I made a post about my hair loss struggles on FB and he was there the day I got my wig. The look on his face when I walked in made me blush. I still think about the look he gave me. Of course I’m still worried about getting intimate with him or having a mishap but he knows and it’s not going to be a total surprise to him if he touches my hair and it moves. I also added about 8” to my hair so their was no hiding. I could not imagine a man saying they would date you for having a wig, I agree though that is clearly not someone you want to be with. 🙌🏼💗
Just seeing this! Are yall still together?
I love this look!😍 I went through a lot of hair loss and it was such a difficult time, it since has passed, but it was scary n sad...wish you would have been on here when I was going thru it! I bet your helping a lot of people!😁
It seems like more and more women are opening up about their loss and it’s helping normalize it!
Thank you so very much for bringing up this subject. I agree with you. If the person you are with make this an obstacle or make fun of it this person is not a nice person to be around.
So true!!
thank you for being so open about this!! ❤️
❤️
i wear wigs and i have no issues with my natural hair.
i just love to change hairstyles...
but people are so judgemental...
i really don't care,.i feel good i look good and that's what matters.
if a man really is into you ,he will not care about the wigs..
Very important point! Alot of women wear wigs and have no hairloss. Totally ok to do!
❤️ your hair! I am cancer survivor and I’m still struggling with my hair growing back from chemo. Please share the link so I can order. Thank you
Hi Michelle, I think she said she got the wig from Madison Wigs.com
madisonwigsboutique.com/collections/fabulous-collection
They’re a little on the spendy side though. If you’re interested Uniwigs is a website that also sells wigs and hair toppers but at a much more affordable price. I got a wig for $500 from there. m.uniwigs.com/
They also offer synthetic hair wigs for $100.
Best of luck! From one wig wear sister to another. :)
Yes that is the link!!! It’s from Madison Wigs Boutique
Thank you ladies
I lost mine from cancer too but not from chemo from my own immune system.
@@KidneyCancerAdvocate Same with me! This wig journey has been up & down but I have finally found 2 that I absolutely love. Luckily people that haven't seen me lately have no idea that they are wigs! I had this idea in my head that everyone would know & was extremely self conscious. It's bad enough I have a crap immune system & tumors that I didn't need to deal with many bad wigs lol
It looks great and wigs are popular now, an accessory...keep rocking the wigs!! Nothing is wrong with it and you will be surprised how many women wear them of all nationalities.
You are a very brave & inspirational young woman. I’m 47 and just started this wig, topper journey. I’m trying to get use to it myself. Luckily my family loves me with or without the full hair. And when someone truly loves you they accept you for who you are. 😊👍🏼
Your family sounds great!!!!!
You are gorgeous and also so kind! I think you are handling your life in a wonderful way! It also so nice that you are trying to help other women and uplift them. Hugs!
Thank you so much ❤️
"I wear helper hair", I love this!!! You have no idea how much I needed to find your channel. I have been struggling with hair loss most my life and just this past week I made the decision to start wearing a wig and remove my extensions, which have been only adding to my hair loss. Finding your video has literally lifted my spirits, I've been in a deep depression about wearing a wig and how I would ever be able to feel attractive around a guy again. I was hoping if you could answer or do a video about having sex with a wig.
Thank you so much for your passion and insight on the topic of hair loss.
I’m so happy you found this! Wigs are a game changer and so easy! I am going to make a video addressing some intimate issues surrounding hair 😊
@@losinghair-notheartsarah3703 thank you soooooo much for responding. I so was hoping to get some guidance on wearing wigs to the beach. ❤🙏🤗
@@lulabella9249 I haven't worn wigs to the beach yet but I have been under water in a topper. I regularly hike in toppers/wigs though
@@losinghair-notheartsarah3703 Sarah
I can't thank you enough!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Needless to say, the hair that you're wearing looks awesome on you, no one w0ould ever guess that you're wearing a wig. Having said that, women have the option of wearing wigs even if they have a full head of hair. May happiness & prosperity knock at your door forever... ABrazos
Totally agree! I think anyone who wants to wear it should do it!
I have hair loss, nothing extreme, but I love wearing wigs. I think it's so much fun!
Thank you for sharing this, I have been experiencing hair loss since about 2001 and have struggled with how/when to tell guys that I am dating. This was helpful and encouraging.
Makes me happy to hear that!
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. It can be hard for girls to handle. I am married but I sometimes feel embarrassed even to my husband about my thinning hair. However, he's been very supportive and I just feel at ease around him. I'm looking into toppers and wigs these days. Your channel is giving me lots of needed advice. Thanks so much for what you're doing to help us girls.
Many thanks for taking your time to put this information and your experiences up here. It was very helpful. Best wishes xxx
Thanks!
Better to be single rather then dealing with drama just stay healthy
Most amazing advice I’ve ever heard on UA-cam thank you beautiful you definitely did it w confidence
If a guy does not react in a positive way, then he is not the right guy and you can be glad you did not waste more time on him.
I just wanna give a lil tip to everyone who is suffering from hair loss ,i never ever had hair loss problem ,but for a month last year I had a good amount of hair loss but cause I already have alot of hair it did not affect much ,but I could see if I'll keep loosing my hair like this I'll loose them al better to stop this hair fall now ,so this is an Indian remedy or Ayurvedic ,please soak 20 almonds 5 walnuts 5 dry dates 5 black raisins overnight ,and once you fresh the first thing you have in breakfast is this ,and please remove the skin of almonds before eating them it increases the absorption in body or easily absorbed ,my hair are back to normal again shiny thick and bouncy no supplement can give you a better result other then natural food ,also include sweet potato and desi ghee in your diet
The unit you're using is very cute, I love the style and color...looks natural!! Plus you are so pretty...
We are more than...hair...!!
thanks!
thanks a lot for your advice! To tell the truth I've done sometimes, they said that's ok, but never seen them again...who knows...but I agree with you totally!
They just weren’t the right person!!
I've been so scared to date since I started losing my hair. I'm glad I found this video, I needed it. Thank you so much!
Don’t be scared!
@@losinghair-notheartsarah3703 Thank you ❤️
I remember being on Jury duty, and noticed one of the paralegal girls hair! I adored it. One day we ended up on the elevator together during lunch break, and I complimented her beautiful hair color. She said, girl, that's a wig. I said I LOVE IT! She was a sweet black woman. I also envy how wearing wigs in the black community is no big deal!
I'm glad she told you! Honestly the times are shifting and it is becoming very normal for people of all races to wear alt hair!
It hasn't been as acceptable for women in the dating scene, weave jokes were big time over loud speakers even songs making fun of black women's extensions by black men and women of other races. Just recently got into with a women who said she hates seeing black women wearing fake hair, she was quite mean about it. Videos like this are sort of making it more acceptable, especially for some of us who have been facing serious hair loss. I have worn wigs, braids and extensions for decades, during these years very few did I let know I was wearing hair enhancements, but, now, I tell if anyone ask or compliments my hair.
I finished bought my 1st wig. My hair is thinning and breaking due to my thyroid and my husband loved it and I did as well. Can't wait to buy more.
they are addicting!
👏 Be confident, I love wearing wigs and I don't care what guys think. They should accept you the way you are. That's it
yes!
Very good advice... I really respect how open you are.. And you're right about not being a victim of hair lose.. Just rock with it 😎🌻
Thanks 🙂 confidence is key
Thank you for posting this. I’m just out of a long relationship and I’m talking to someone new and I’ve been letting my wig use hold me back.
totally get that and went through that last year. i had to change my mindset! if anything, a guy should be lucky to be with someone who can change their hair in an instant :)
I can relate!! I am greatful for weave and extensions and all that jazz dont get me wrong I just have been iffy about the protocol to tell someone or if I dont tell them and just let them find out on their own type thing
I'm 55 and noticed my hair getting thinner the last couple years plus all the coloring upkeep. I haven't said a peep to my husband of 32years that I'd like to try a topper. Maybe that will be a new years resolution, to have more confidence to speak up. I love the term "helper hair"...Lol!
I'm 55 too and discussed trying a topper with my boyfriend of 12 years. He was totally supportive and liked everyone that i bought. It felt good to open up and made my desision to purchase a topper easier.
my mom is 65 almost and we got her one! she was tired of coloring her hair!
Menopause gave me alopecia,why do you guys need a mans permission to get a topper?
@@tunafish1689 Permission had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Jo rae , I’m 66 and just starting to see what’s available in toppers and hairpieces and haven’t mentioned it to my husband of 41 years yet. I think for me I don’t want to appear vain or insecure about my looks. I know he wouldn’t care if I got one and would probably think it’s not necessary.
By the way, you might be getting thinner hair because of menopause.
Your hair looks amazing. You seem like a lovely person too ❤️
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this. I wear a topper due to thinning hair as well. I just tell a guy I’am actually dating. And thanks to you I had the courage to tell the truth. He accepted so well and say it’s not bothering him. I cannot explain how much you helped me. And hope my experience will help other womens.
🥲 That is so lovely to hear!! Wishing you the best!
I find it to be a very personal thing. I've had to wear a wig for 6 or 7 yrs. now. Maybe longer, I can't remember anymore. It's not everyone's business to know I wear a wig. I don't switch it up. I prefer to look the same as usual unless I style it differently. I spend almost $2,000 on a wig, so I can't afford to keep several wigs around. I did have a period of time in my marriage where my husband and I were separated and I dated a man for a year and a half. I told him right up front that I wore a wig and he understood. He had a shaved head due to hair loss, so he didn't have room to judge and wouldn't have anyway. I am back together with my husband and we are going on 19 yrs. He loves me with or without my hair, but I never go without something on my head. It's so personal and I thank you for sharing your story with us. You're so beautiful, inside and out, and I'm glad you aren't afraid to share this part of who you are. It's most definitely not something we should be ashamed of. I'm enjoying your channel and look forward to more from you!
it's such a personal thing! I'm similar to you and also prefer to always have something on my head. thank you for the kind words :)
💐Let me start by saying that that wig you're wearing looks so nice 'n' natural on you. You're right, confidence is key on your part. If someone cares genuinely enough about you, then what you wear or look like would not matter to them and those are the people that are worth knowing in your life. Others who say or act otherwise are not worth knowing. In olden days, wigs were signs of prominence; only well-to-do people wore wigs so as a wig aficionado, myself, I also am partial to hairpieces. So, good luck on your journey. Your confidence & likeable personality will land you a good guy soon 😊
It’s crazy how wigs have come in and out of society over the years. They are definitely here to stay 😊
Thank you for talking about hair loss. My step-granddaughter is 16 and she has complete alopecia. I want to be able to talk to her about self esteem and not to worry about dating. She's really worried and your video will help if I show it to her. You look beautiful by the way, with or without adding to your hair.
thank you! Great video!!! Helper hair should be viewed as just another accessory. I love being able to change my color and style! Confidence is the key. Great advice!!!
It's my favorite accessory :)
You rock that wig, girl! You look gorgeous!
Thanks 😊
Your awesome! I hope I get the confidences u have. I suffer from hair loss. I have PCOS. I have thinning on the top. Then I got two bald spots on my head. I have alopia from stress of losing my mom 7 months ago. U r so inspiring! I'm looking into wearing toppers.
yay! i hope you find one!
Awww you seem so sweet🥰 I know lots of African-American women who wear wigs and honestly we’re not too ashamed to tell our dates. 😬
Love when you said it's a great way to weed out guys that aren't right❤❤❤
I love that wig you have on in this video! Details, please!
it's a topper from madison wigs!
Losing Hair - Not Heart Sarah which topper?
Same question haha
@@losinghair-notheartsarah3703 Hi! It is so nice to know there are more young girls out there with this problem. Mine started 2 years ago and you can see through my strings. It's so embarrassing. Which topper is this from Madison Wigs? Also, do you have Facebook or Instagram?
You do a very good job styling your hair. Can you make a video of how you take care of your hair pieces and how you wash/style them? 🙏
yes!
Yes, we've all grown attached to various parts of our overall image... but those parts do not make us who we truly are. Hair, thinning hair or no hair- you're gorgeous and I adore your bravery ❤❤❤
Agreed and thank you 😊
Love your story... you are wonderful for sharing. I agree when it is a part of your life and your dating someone you might like the sooner the better to weed out the guys that are not good for you.
It’s been beneficial for me handling it that way 😊
It's the most humiliating thing for a woman to go through, but its alot of women that will experience this. I'm devastated because my hair is too the point where I have to get something because clips have put so much strain on my hair and has pulled out so much hair. I guess it's time for a wig to see if my hair will grow back in those areas. I've done alot of crying lately but I have no other choice. Will people know I'm wearing a wig, its frightening to me. I've tried to convince myself it will be beautiful and it should for the money I've spent. One thing is I'm not going to die, I know I can get through this... your beautiful and look great so seeing you gives me hope. Should be in soon so I'm trying to prepare...
Wigs are so easy to work with!! I understand the hesitancy and anxiety about wearing one. It’s been life changing wearing them and my new normal. I hope you find some peace with it!
Best of luck to you!!
I have cancer and have been wearing wigs for years! I have people all the time say, well at least you didn’t lose your hair! Ummm well.... people are always so in awe that wigs can look so great. I don’t always share, sometimes just smile and say thanks if they compliment my hair. Wigs are simply an accessory 👍🏼💕🎀
They truly are!! Wishing you the best hun 💕
I really like the term " helper hair" and I found this vlog to be very supportive and positive for those of us who are follicular challenged.
Always happy to help the follicular challenged community ❤️
Such a wonderful video. You are an inspiration to many!!!
thanks!
