Stick on wigs???

I have a number of fellow bloggers and we help each other out on blogging. Tips, tricks, technical stuff and the like. It's nice. We all have our reasons for doing what we do, we are all passionate about our subjects, and we share the love of reading each others blogs. It's a great little network.

But sometimes it goes further.

Last week, my blogger buddy the Flaky Fashionista, sent me over some "breaking news" on wigs. It was such a fabulous email to receive. You see FF was watching The Late Late Show on the Irish channel RTE. (on the 24th May if you want to check it out).    http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/

She was brimming with exctiment for me in her email.

I was so intrigued with her news, that I downloaded the show immediately. (I now have an Irish TV app on my phone. Now that does make me giggle. Wonder how often I will use it??)

The show featured 4 people who had alopecia, in its various forms. And there was a CEO of a company there, pitching his new product.

As in such shows, he and his team, made these 4 people a new wig during the show and provided the viewers with a "Ta Da" effort. It was great entertainment. I personally loved it, as I was hearing first hand from Alopecians about the effort the disease was having on them, and I realised, whilst listening, that I never share my stories directly with other baldies. The stories and experiences were quite moving actually. Very real.

What I liked about this program was the new product they were featuring.  It was a wig, that you literally superglued to your head for 6 weeks at a time. You then would sleep with it, swim with it, wash it in the shower etc.

So in short it becomes your hair. Apparently they last for a year, but need resticking frequently. the cost was very reasonable given the lasting of the wig.

I was excited to hear about this and for sure will be checking it out. It sounds like it could really work. I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to have a full head of hair again. Not sure if I would like it. But then again maybe I would. It certainly has many advantages.

So thanks FF and to anybody out there who has ideas or hears anything do share, its great to know whats going on in the world of baldness!!
