Free yourself from hair hassle on holiday!

2011-09-23T01:27:00.000-07:00

Believe me, I do know what it is like. You've got the tickets, the clothes, the make-up and the sunblock. You are totally holiday set, and sooooo looking forward to your holiday in the sun. But there is just one worry, one thing that will prey on your mind and your fear is that it will spoil your fun in the sea. It's your hair, isn't it? I know exactly. It is not just the salt, it's the wet! It will totally undo your hair and you will either have to ignore it and go round with a nightmare frizz or you will be straightening it between each and every dip just to keep it reasonable for the evening. I know, I have had every type of holiday spoilt because of my hair troubles. Holidays in the sun - Italy, Spain, France & Greece and holidays in the rain too, camping in Devon & Cornwall, Wales & Scotland, always the same result, wet hair equals wrecked hair.
Ever thought of setting yourself totally free from all that? I did, about 5 years ago and I haven't looked back. I wear wigs nearly all the time because it gives me the hairstyle I want without the hassle. I will wear a single wig for 3 months and then it will be just about knackered so I keep it for swimming. Wear an old wig for swimming. It's fine, I promise. It does not float off or any other horror like that. If you are unsure, simply wear goggles and they will keep it in place. I could of course swim without a wig, just my own short hair but I am now so used to wearing a wig and feel so much more comfortable with a wig rather than without, that I prefer to swim in a wig. I guess one of the reasons for this is the apres swim. I really love to be able to sit on the beach and just let my hair (wig) drip dry as if it was my own hair. To me it feels very liberating, like getting soaking wet in a storm and the wig just drying in the perfect style without ever moving from your head. After a life time of battling wavy freaky hair, it is just great!

The overwhelming majority of women and girls want straight hair. Every now and then, the fashion pundits tell us that curls and waves are back but it is like skinny is out - not! It just never happens. Most women want sleek straight hair that stays looking good whatever the weather and whatever they are doing!

If you, like me, just dont have that obliging hair, go choose a great wig that, wearing it all day every day, will last you at least 3 months! www.wearmyhair.com

Wear a wig for style & comfort

2011-09-21T02:39:00.000-07:00

Many of my customers wear wigs for style. Like me, they do not like their own hair for whatever reason. In my case, my hair is wavy and very, very thick and it sits on my head like a hedge! Not a good look! I used to spend a fortune going to the hairdressers getting it cut, styled and blow-dried. It was all a waste of time and money and I used to feel so depressed as I left, having spent time and money and knowing that as soon as I was home, I would wash it all out and start again. In the end, the only style that I was reasonably happy with, was really short, urchin style, and spiked with Black & White's wax.

It was years later, and a new relationship, that I read about the Japanese Yuko straightening method being pioneered in London. So I went, hotfoot, to Toni & Guy in Golders Green and emerged, 3 hours later, and £300 poorer with lovely straight hair. The lovely straight hair lasted about 3 months and was good while it lasted. I didn't need to use any straighteners or anything and it stayed straight in rain and drizzle so I was happy. When it did start to wave again as it grew, I confidently made another appointment for the procedure to be repeated, but this time, after the first 5 minutes, I got the trainees and everything changed. They even burnt my head. I never went back again.

Eventually, I realised that it would be far less hassle and cost to wear a wig. I have done so now for about 5 years and have no intention of going down the salon route again, no matter what they promise. A wig is cheaper, more versatile and best of all, you just take it off and put it on at your own choosing! Picture above, me, wearing Mary May ! Picture below, Mary May as on website.

women wear wigs for fun!

2011-09-01T01:36:00.000-07:00

More and more women, white women as well as black, wear wigs now for fun. It is seen increasingly as just another way to accessorise your look and re-vamp your style. What better way! After all, nobody wears the same make-up with every outfit so why have the same hairstyle. Wearing a wig is great fun. It is much better value than visiting the salon, which more often than not, only lasts until the next hair wash and a wig has the advantage that you can wear it when you want to and put it away when you dont want to! It could not be more flexible.

You can change your hair colour and style simply by wearing a wig! The wig I am wearing now is Mary May and I have worn it everyday, all day for 3 months and it is still fine. I have washed it once a week, every week and it still looks perfect. For £75 I think that is very good value. Here is a picture of it!

Perfect wig for Goths!

2011-07-25T11:58:00.000-07:00

This angel number is the result of a one-off order from Essex and is probably the best we have done for the Goths! Look here and tell me what is not to love about this one±

A happy customer with her new wig!

2011-07-14T01:01:00.000-07:00

A lady rang up in a bit of a panic as having just started chemotherapy, her hair was falling out in clumps and much faster than she anticipated. She urgently needed to have a wig for a fun day at the races which she didn't want spoilt by feeling self-conscious. She bought her wig from our site www.wearmyhair.com/short-wigs and it arrived the following day with free postage! This is the message she sent me

"Hello Its Jayne from Bradford, I received the Nikki wig today and I just want to say a big, big thank you for your speedy delivery. I love the wig and it will make a huge difference to what will be hard months ahead. I will certainly recommend you. Many thanks Jayne xx"

And, this is the short wig she bought! Nikki in colour FR8T

Wigs for events and special occasions

2011-06-30T06:08:00.000-07:00

I just sold another two wigs, one womens wig, and one mens wig for a Fawlty Towers night at a local pub. So the wigs, both short wigs were ideal to create the Basil and Sybil characters! This is a fine example of an occasion where you need a wig that is a good quality wig without breaking the bank. These two really fit the bill though they will both be trimmed and styled to match the iconic duo!

New colours for wigs!

2011-06-21T05:50:00.000-07:00

I have been wearing a gorgeous red wig with red streaks in it for several weeks now. It is such a lovely colour and more and more, I am noticing that other women are swanning around with really red hair. I dont mean red as in auburn, a colour I really do not like. I mean red as in ginger. The old stereotype of "carrot tops" is so not that. This is just a lovely ginger colour that looks warm, not brassy as I remember school kids with crinkly ginger hair and masses of freckles at school. I now have this wig in a small size cap so it fits me brilliantly!

More sales of mens wigs!

2011-06-13T09:49:00.000-07:00

I seem to have hit the spot with my range of mens wigs. They sell very well and it seems that the colours and styles are all well received. I have seen mens wigs which are really tapered into the neck and around the ears but then that leaves no room for style modifications when wanted.

GQ magazine rang again today. Unfortunately, their adverts are way too expensive for me at the moment, and besides, it does seem as if when a man decides to buy a wig, he will find us. I would really love to have a totally unisex wig shop but that is still a long way off.

Just sold this one! www.wearmyhair.com/mens-wigs

Wayne Rooney sparks loads of interest in Mens Wigs! BBC Radio interview with Wear my Hair.com

2011-06-08T01:35:00.000-07:00

Just been interviewed live on Breakfast Show, BBC Radio Cambridge to talk about mens wigs and my business, . This is in direct response to the Wayne Rooney hair transplant story! And, today we here that Ryan Giggs is also planning something similar. Go boys, says I! Is it about male vanity I was asked. I replied that vanity, or concern over appearance has for far too long be presumed to be the prerogative of women & girls only. This is completely bad. We all, and I mean all, care deeply about our appearance. It informs our sense of self, of who we are and how we feel with fit in our world.

Above all, I feel that life is not only short, it is for many people incredibly tough and cruel in so many ways and usually beyond our control, that where we are able to make any change that makes us feel better - we just should. I'm so all for happiness - "Be who you want to be today and wake up yourself again tomorrow"!

short, straight wigs for women

2011-06-05T22:23:00.000-07:00

Some new short wigs with streaks! Ladies, these wigs are just fun! A lovely wig light blonde colour with streaks. It is not only older ladies who prefer short hair. It depends on many things, such as, height, size and shape of head and face, texture of hair, all sorts of things, but many women are now choosing short wigs. Short straight bobs are well in fashion as the Big Hair look wanes in popularity. To liven up a simple little bob, add streaks - see here!

New stuff planned for wear my hair

2011-05-29T05:33:00.000-07:00

I am planning a new accessories page for www.wearmyhair.com. It is intended to advance the offer from this website into fashion accessories. So many people comment favourably about my hair and the way I accessorise it that it feels appropriate to develop this further. The idea is to make, buy and sell stuff that is appropriate and relevant to the wearmyhair philosophy of "Be who you want to be today, and wake up yourself again tomorrow"!

The new page will compliment the videos but not compromise them. It will not be the same. I will take stills of me and the mannequins wearing accessorised products to show the full potential and overall effect of wearing a wig to improve or simply change how you look. Here is a picture of the wig I am wearing - Mary May with ribbons!

women wear wigs for fun!

2011-05-24T03:25:00.000-07:00

More and more women are wearing wigs for fun. This is in part due to the fact that wigs are so good these days, and pound for pound, synthetic wigs, hairpieces & extensions often make a much better deal that shelling out the same amount of money on a trip to the salon where the "do" will only last till the next wash often enough! Whether it's a wig or a hairpiece it can transform your look in an instant and give you shed loads of confidence you never had before!

It never ceases to amaze me, how many people just put up with hair they don't like. Their own hair maybe, but where is the value in daylight hours if you hate it? Is it not better to feel and look good with hair that will do as it's told whatever the weather and stay that way leaving you free to enjoy everything else in your day or evening. And when you are done with the day and evening, you simply take it off, pop it into it's bag and go back to being yourself again until the next time you want to wear it!

Todays wigs & hairpieces are well made and breatheable so they do not feel hot. It's a no brainer really - go get yours - www.wearmyhair.com

Wigs for women, the London Look!

2011-05-17T11:28:00.000-07:00

Another new customer just bought the long wig, Charlotte. She said it looked funky and fun - The London Look is how she described it. She was a very sweet and pretty girl who was wearing a very knackered old wig that was well past its sell-buy date! It was a first for me as she said that she had made the wig herself from bought extensions - very clever!

She was worried about how long the wig will last and I reassurred her that it will last about 12 weeks if she takes care of it. It is a long tapered wig and the long length makes it more vulnerable to damage if constantly brushed and combed. I am currently wearing Mary May which is a short wig but I really only brush it when I wash it and I have been wearing it solidly for 3 months!

Kate Middleton like wigs still selling well!

2011-05-15T07:46:00.000-07:00

Womens wigs sell very well too, especially the long glam styles. There is, of course, the Kate Middleton hair as in Gemma colour ref: FR30 which is brunette. www.wearmyhair.com/long-wigs.

short straight bobs are back in fashion!

2011-05-02T09:48:00.000-07:00

A feature on short straight bob hairstyles is in this week's Sunday Times Style magazine - page 33, Your Style Beauty News. The picture shown looks exactly like our wig Grace in stock www.wearmyhair.com/medium-length-wigs. I am not surprised as I have found myself going shorter and shorter and very straight. And red! A mix of colours from my new supplier gives me a great red that is light and bright but more than strawberry blonde and yet much lighter than the auburn shades.

I have added some streaks too. This time, the wig is streaked with colour ref: FR350 which is a deep red and it looks gorgeous!

I am about to order some more short wigs and will have this wig style and colour but with pink streaks as that too, will look highly dramatic and fun. I am also going to order the very long wig "Britney" in this colour red.

short, straight wigs for women

2011-04-26T22:39:00.000-07:00

At www.wearmyhair.com we are paying more attention to short styles right now. It is always assumed that anyone young (ish) will want to have long hair, even if a wig, and this is just not true. Many women and girls find that short hair suits them better. This may be just down to the shape and size of their face, or, it may be lifestyle and work factors too. Busy mums and workers in the food industry where keeping hair out of the way is important, to mention just two! So we are now bringing on a range of short wigs and medium length wigs to help balance the range. We have also just got in a medium-length wig with a side parting that looks really good.

The colour red which is bold but not dark has been achieved by blending two colours and it really is a fabulous colour. Redder than strawberry blonde but lighter than auburn, it is warm and sunny. I am wearing it myself right now and I love it.

Mens wigs, grey wigs for men! Straight, transexual & transvestite, it is not an issue

2011-04-06T01:35:00.000-07:00

Funnily enough, we sell more mens wigs from the website www.wearmyhair.com/mens-wigs than any others. Men do not generally come for the free consultation, they prefer to sort it out for themselves in the privacy of their own homes. Understandable, many men are less than sympathetic with the idea of hair-loss being a major issue within their gender. They are wrong. Apart from the fact that it is an entirely personal issue and decision, we all have different hang-ups about the bits of us that we don't like, and it is not right for anyone to pass judgement.

It's funny, as a society, we have made huge strides against so many predjudices, and yet the simple, uncomplicated ones that don't involve race, colour, religion or the other contentious issues, seem the hardest and most entrenched. At www.wearmyhair.com we are totally there for everyone wanting our help whatever their personal choices. We get a few transexual and transvestites who come to the house and who just buy direct from the website. I am happy to say that they feel comfortable enough to tell us and talk to us about the kind of hair they want and how we can help. They have a great range of womens wigs to choose from.

Increasingly too, we get older men who maybe have started dating again after divorce or bereavement, who decide that to boost their confidence, they will wear a wig. If they were already grey, they will often choose a grey wig. We have two shades of grey, the light grey and a salt & pepper darker grey.

I am happily married to a man who lost most of his hair by the age of 30 and his baldness has never fazed either of us. But if it did faze him, I would be totally ok about him wearing a wig. I simply believe that life is too short and a bitch anyway, so that whatever we can all do to make it easier and more enjoyable, and providing it does not hurt anyone else, then go for it.

Not for nothing is our slogan, " Be who you want to be today & wake up yourself again tomorrow"!

Discussions around hair on Hubpages

2011-03-31T04:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I signed up to Hubpages and have written 2 hubs so far. It seems a very good format to discuss issues around hair - synthetic or human. As a website selling wigs, www.wearmyhair.com is keen to dispel any myths about synthetic hair being less good than human hair just because it is cheaper! There are advantages and disadvantages with both. On the plus side with synthetic hair is, of course, the price. But that is not all. For many people, the whole idea of wearing wigs is to have more hairstyles, colours, lengths and so on to play with! That whole "getting ready" to go out for the night, clubbing, on a date, or just a girlie night, is such a great opportunity to make the absolute best of what you have. It doen't matter a toss if it is real or not -hey, if I break a fingernail, I so do not wait for it to grow back, I put on a falsie! With implants, semi-permanent make-up, false eyelashes and everything else, whether it is real or not, just does not come into it.

It is about feeling the best you can. For many people, myself included, wearing a wig is infinitely better than putting up with my own hair. I have done the whole lot - straightening, dyeing, salon straightening and the Yuko method! That was expensive and some. The first time I had it done it was good. Cost about £300 but it stayed straight for about 3 months. The second and third time though, the salon used trainees and it was not good, not worth the money, they burnt my head and I never went back again.

I could wear real human hair wigs if I wanted to but I have seriously never felt the need. Ok, you cannot dye a synthetic wig and they do not last as long. But for my money, I would rather have a range of different synthetic wigs that I can wear according to my mood, outfit, make-up, occasion or whatever, than one very expensive wig that will most definitely damage with treatments such as dyeing, using blow-dryers and tongs etc. A reasonable human hair wig will cost upwards of £300 and many cost much more. Not me, I will stick to the synthetic wigs and have my money's worth every time!

All the new pictures are now on the site. We are trying out a new format and if it is effective, we will roll it out to other images. It is an animated Gif that rotates to display the wigs from 360 degrees. It is really cool but sometimes such devices can be irritating so we want to keep the static images also.

That's right, the new improved pictures for the long wigs and medium length wigs are now on the website. Here is a preview, but go check out the website at www.wearmyhair.com

Childrens wigs

2011-03-16T03:09:00.000-07:00

For a child needing a wig, we have a small but lovely range. Soft and comfortable and not at all hot, our childrens wigs are specially manufactured not to irritate young delicate scalps, and they can be cut and styled to suit the child. We can also make bespoke wigs to match colour and style from photographs and these can usually be delivered with three weeks! Wear My Hair supplies wigs of excellent quality and very reasonable prices. We believe that for a (usually) temporary problem, our customers should not have to pay huge prices

buy wigs!

2011-03-08T03:11:00.000-08:00

Womens Wigs.

If you want to buy a wig because you have a medical need such as alopecia, cancer or leukaemia, you can read about that by clicking on the medicalwigs link. Or, you can just go to the product pages of long wigs, medium length wigs, short wigs and buy a wig“Be who you want to be today and wake up yourself again tomorrow”!

Our slogan and the message is, you do not have to put up with the hair you were born with, if you happen not to like it. Whatever your hair issues – curly, frizzy, too thin, too thick, if you dislike it, you can change your hairstyle in an instant by wearing a wig from www.wearmyhair.com.

All this applies to everyone, women, , girls, black, white, whatever, we have wigs for you! At www.wearmyhair.com we have a good selection of womens wigs, most of which are suitable for older girls and childrens wigs which are ideal for very young girls. We have customers, women and girls of all ages, but all of them share the same central issue, they are not content with their own hair. It may be that your hair is naturally very fine or thin and that extensions do not work too well, breaking your hair because of the added weight. For many women, the best solution is to wear a wig. It is a put it on and take it off solution. No hassle, no mess, no trip to the hair salon necessary. Just choose your preferred wig and away you go. What is more, because of the very reasonable prices of our synthetic wigs, women and girls can afford to have more than one wig.

Now, you would not wear the same make-up or accessories with every outfit, would you? Well then, why would you have the same hairstyle either? This is it. Back to our slogan again – “be who you want to be today and wake up yourself again tomorrow”!

A story from one customer says it all. A young woman, at the time ill with cancer, her hair had fallen out and she usually wore a beanie. She took advantage of the free consultation offered by Wear My Hair, and came to see me. She said, “ I am doing this for my husband. We have been invited to a party and for once, I want him to be able to forget that I have cancer, so I’ve decided to buy a wig”. She chose Latoya, a great looking layered wig, dark brown with blonde highlights. When done with everything, she threw her beanie in my waste basket and said, “ I thought I was doing this for my husband, now I know, I am doing it for me!” Go Girl! Rock that wig!

We have long wigs, medium length wigs, short wigs, and at www.wearmyhair.com you have greater choice as you can order a bespoke wig in up to three colours!. So you can select a wig and choose a main colour and blend it with another colour and then have streaks in yet another colour!. That option does have to be ordered for you and will take 15-30 days. Alternatively, all the wigs shown on the website are available from stock in the colours shown. There are plenty of wigs in a vast range of colours that you can just buy from stock and have delivered NEXT DAY! And you get a free She-bag or She-she bag to store it in with every order of £55 or more!

better wig images coming soon!

2011-01-20T05:17:00.000-08:00

For the best glamour looks wearing wigs and hairpieces and extensions, we are going to make some exciting new changes to the website pages and displays!

Some major changes are afoot. Unfortunately, the live model images of our women's wigs have not really worked too well in terms of sales. The reason for this is I think that we were unable to choose specifically suitable models for the wig styles, lengths and colours. Also, the photographer concentrated on making glamour shots of the models instead of making glamour shots of the wigs.
The hair is not best displayed or photographed, and we are about to change that. We will keep the live models wearing wigs in a gallery where they can still be viewed, but in order to retain complete control of the wig styles, colours and glamour effects of wearing wigs, we will use mannequins again. We are going to photograph them all again to make better shots and the wig images on the main category pages for women's wigs, long wigs, medium length wigs will be bigger. They will rotate giving a great experience of viewing almost as you would turn around using a mirror yourself in fact. You will still be able to see and return to all the static shots, but we feel we are not doing justice to our fabulous range of products so a change is needed.

more wig sales for fashion

2011-01-04T07:55:00.000-08:00

I am thinking that 2011 is going to be the best year for wearmyhair. More and more people are starting to wear wigs for fashion on a daily or several times a week basis. Wigs are ideal for just having a change. It is far less dramatic and devastating to decide you dont like a style or colour on you if you are talking about a wig rather than a lasting change you have made to your own hair.

Wearing wigs gives you the best of both worlds - you get a new hairstyle without the drama and cost of going to the hairdresser and having something done which you might regret and worse - you have paid a small fortune for. So for all those moments when you just want something really different go to www.wearmyhair.com and chose a wig or hairpiece to wear when the mood takes you!

better wig images coming soon!

2010-12-16T04:09:00.000-08:00

Yes, we are working hard to improve and enlarge the wig images on the site www.wearmyhair.com. We think that though it may not be essential to always use live models to model the wigs & hairpieces, it is essential that all images of wigs on live models or mannequins must be really good. For a start, we are getting rid of brightly coloured backgrounds so that the wigs stand out rather than the backgrounds. We are then going to look at the quality of the photos themselves and improve them where possible. We are also going to look at having rotating images rather than static wig images showing front, back and side views.

Due any day now are some more short wigs. We have a cute little bob in a light red colour as well as a better mid-brown/ mousy colour and even white. Pictures will be posted here as soon as they arrive. Watch this space!

New wigs from new wig supplier

2010-11-26T09:21:00.000-08:00

Well, here we are again, back from South Africa and inspired by all those gorgeous black girls all wearing fabulous wigs. Long wigs, medium length wigs, short wigs, even in the townships where many people are very poor, they still wear wigs in preference to their own afro hair.

We have a new wig supplier. In China again, and we are ordering some more shorter styles as many ladies after a certain age, prefer to have a shorter hairstyle than they perhaps did when they were younger. The stock we have is currently suited to the older lady and we need some more youthful short wigs for the " middle-youther "!

This is one of the similar styles

New designs for gorgeous, free storage bags for women's wigs, men's wigs & children's wigs! Yes, for each order of just £55 or over, you can choose a free She-bag or He-bag for storing and traveling. She-she bags are for the real girlie girls amongst you and especially important for making it personal and nice. All the bags are hand-made from re-cycled fabric and are so much nicer than the plastic bag that the wigs and hairpieces and extensions are all supplied to us in!

They are great for storage, sleep-overs, and going on holiday - discreet and attractive all in one!

wig suppliers, children's wigs

2010-09-30T22:09:00.000-07:00

The biggest advantage of being a wig supplier independant of the big wholesalers, is that I can supply wigs bespoke and to order. Again yesterday, I had a phone call from a lady about a child with leukemia whose predicted hair-loss will be so distressing to her that they have asked me to get her a wig made to match her own hair. This we can do. All we need is some photos showing head & shoulders and front, back and side views, and we can have that made for her. The lead time is usually about 2 weeks but at peak busy periods it can take longer. This is an ideal solution for anyone who wants a wig that will replicate, in as far as possible, their own style. If it is a children's wig, it helps to know the age of the child in order to gauge the suitable cap size.

Wear my Hair® now a registered Trade Mark, I hope you notice! We exhibited our wigs, hairpieces & extensions last Sunday at the "Live Local, Love Local" Fair sponsored by Agenda Magazine. Held at Quy Mill Hotel, it was at first quiet but picked up in the early afternoon.

We got a great deal of interest with lots of people trying on wigs, hairpieces & extensions. For the first time we also displayed children's wigs and men's wigs.

Sales of wigs in both these categories are increasing as more and more people realise that there are alternatives to putting up with alopecia, cancer or leukemia caused hair-loss, and without spending hundreds of pounds. Nowadays, synthetic wigs are very well made and do not irritate the scalp or cause itching. They are lightweight, airy and comfortable and are suitable for children of all ages, providing that they prefer to wear a wig rather than using none or some other head covering.

The two children's wigs pictured here and the men's wig, style Oska, all sold very recently as did these two women's wigs
long wigs, Olivia, and Tilly.

The new video clips are up!

2010-08-20T03:57:00.000-07:00

View all the new clips at www.wearmyhair.com/videoclips.php. They are much better than the earlier ones and I intend to keep updating them. I did actually forget to demonstrate the wig caps so I will do them next. Then I will do some more accessorising and show the She-bags, She-she bags and He-bags, the free, handmade little storage bags which are made from recycled fabrics and are so much more personal than the plastic bags that the wigs are delivered in.

demonstrations with wearing wigs videos

2010-08-13T21:56:00.000-07:00

At last, I have made some much better video clips demonstrating wearing wigs and accessorising wigs. In fact, I have covered and will continue to cover the same topics as the previous videos, but using a camcorder the quality is so much better. I cannot upload them all just yet as some are too long and will have to be split into several, but demonstrating me wearing at least three different wigs, shows how fabulous it is at changing your look altogether. That is the message I give to all you white girls who, like me, have difficult hair and cannot style it the way you want to - loose it and wear a wig instead. Like me, you will begin to experiment and have fun with different colours and wig styles and lengths. Here are some of the clips now.

medical wigs for those with hairloss

2010-07-29T03:14:00.000-07:00

I have updated this page on my website to show the She-bags, She-she bags & He-bags as these people will really like them. They are great for taking anywhere you might need/want to take your wig on and off. Swimming for instance. Also, for going on holiday, travel and sleep-overs, these free bags are designed to add value and make wearing a wig, buying a wig, and storing a wig less impersonal and more pleasurable.

I have also added a couple of pictures of the models wearing wigs. How great do they look!

New video clips !

2010-07-27T07:23:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody, finally getting round to doing the video clips again. This time, I will be using a camcorder and as well as all the previous stuff, will show me in different wigs to show how different it makes you look. You can wear nude make-up with a blonde wig, or much bolder with a darker wig. It is a great way to change your look between the seasons. I do tend to wear lighter colours in clothes, make-up and wigs in Summer and darker in Winter.

Hopefully, I will start the recording tomorrow as today, though I have done some recording, I really haven't got it as well in shot as I can so I will ask hubby to help me later. It is important and a significant improvement on the last videos to be able to show the wigs and hairpieces and extensions in full length. Will have another stab at it tomorrow!

She-bags, She-she bags & He-bags!

2010-07-14T09:10:00.000-07:00

Been so very busy making more of these cute little storage bags for wigs, hairpieces, extensions - free with any order to the value of £55 or more! So much more fun than a plastic bag! Here are some of the new designs!

New She-bags & She-she bags for storing wigs!

2010-07-09T23:10:00.000-07:00

This is another new idea. An extension obviously on the She-bag and He-bag but with the emphasis on the She as in girlie. So there's She-bags and She-she bags. This will make it easier to choose the most preferred style of bag. The He-bag is quite male in style and colours, the She-bag is quite feminine in style and colour, but the She-she bag is totally, very feminine in style and colour. So, it makes it easier to select the most appropriate bag for the intended user.

I feel this is important. It is no good giving a free gift if the gift doesn't fit the intended user. I imagine a mother buying a wig for her daughter who is about to start chemo for cancer or leukemia and will suffer hair-loss as a consequence. This mother will know if her daughter is a girlie-girl who just adores everything pink, or not, and will be able to select the She-she bag if she is or the She-bag if she isn't.

This is just one scenario. It may be a guy. Like a young chap who came from Coventry last week to buy a mens wig. He just didn't like the fact that he was loosing his hair very young and almost bald at 24. No illness, just early balding. He can have the He-bag and in his case, this is great as he wants to keep wearing a wig a secret. So the He-bag will keep it very discreet for holidays etc.

Then again, there is the cross-dresser who orders a women's wig for himself and can then choose the She-bag, the She-she bag or the He-bag for himself. This is very important because all I get is an email address and a postage address and the person buying the wig or hairpiece may or may not be the end user so it is vital that they can self-select the bag.

Better just say that the She-she bag is not yet on the website as another tick box has to be added. It will be shortly!

Black girls want white girls hair and white girls want it too!

2010-06-27T07:59:00.001-07:00

"The Mane Event," Sunday Times Style Magazine, yesterday. This article is all about the Black girls love affair with straight hair - and now, the white girls obsession with it too. And that is what www.wearmyhair.com is all about! Yes, it is primarily for white girls who want straight hair but, like me, have wavy, frizzy or otherwise unmanageable hair. Apart from my sister's cancer, the other catalyst for starting wear my hair™ was my own hateful mop! I have been wearing wigs now for several years and have no intention of stopping.

Because I wear a wig day in and day out, I know that synthetic wigs are absolutely fine - in fact better than real hair due to their affordability, so you can have several to suit moods or whatever! Have a look at the long wigs, medium length wigs and short wigs there's styles for everyone. We do mens wigs and childrens wigs too and with free delivery and a natty little storage bag free with every order of £55 or more, you just can't go wrong. Go see now! www.wearmyhair.com

New He-bags & She-bags for storing wigs!

2010-06-18T04:11:00.000-07:00

Yes, they are free with all orders over £55. So whether its wigs, hairpieces or extensions you're into, you will automatically get a bag if you spend £55. That equates to any wig, hairpiece and just 4 extensions. But of course, it applies equally if you buy any combination of products. So if you bought some hair-care accessories that would count too. The total amount is £55 to qualify for a free bag.

New He-bags & She-bags for storing wigs!

2010-06-18T02:42:00.000-07:00

Yes, new, and free He-bags and She-bags for storing your wigs, Hairpieces & extensions! They are designed by wear my hair™ and handmade from recycled fabric. The idea is to add value for customers by giving a beautiful bag for free with each other. An ideal way to store all your wigs, hairpieces & extensions, the He-bag and the She-bag can (site modification pending), be selected by the purchaser who may not actually be the end user. So, at the "Your Basket" page, the purchaser will select either the He-bag or She-bag box according to what they want.

It may be, as last week, a mother, using her husband's email, bought a childrens wig for her little girl who is undergoing chemotherapy. From the order, there would be no indication of this, but to effectively add value for the customer, it is essential to get the right bag to the right end user. This way, the little girl got a lovely pink bag and was thrilled. Also, much nicer to put your wig, hairpiece or extensions into a fabric bag when weekending away or going on holiday. Not only is it so much more attractive, but more discreet too for those for whom wearing a wig is a closely guarded secret!

Here are the first two designs! The He-bag!

And the She-bag!

accessorising your wig

2010-06-08T05:12:00.000-07:00

I've been playing with a new wig that I have been wearing for a few days and it is a fab light red colour and sort of mid- neck length. I love the razor cut but I have not been too sure about the length, thinking that shorter is better on me. I found a solution and now really like it. I made little plaits out of the side bits and took them to the back of my head where I tied them with a ribbon and fixed them there as I threaded the ribbon through the weft. Here are the pictures. The wig is Cherie and the colour is FR25/27.

Pieces Parties!

2010-06-07T06:00:00.000-07:00

Calling anyone interested in trying on, choosing and buying wigs, hairpieces and extensions! I have been waiting for exams to finish to plan and organise the first "Pieces Party". I will have it at home and invite, first and foremost, the models on my website, my helper, Sharman and their friends. Obviously, I will be hoping to sell some products, I will be hosting the Pieces Party and will incurr costs in doing that and providing refreshments etc. Nevertheless, I don't want people to think that they have to buy stuff each and every time they come. I hope though that people will enter into the spirit of it, and come expecting at some point to buy a wig or hairpiece or even some hair extensions. That will be fine.

The next thing then will be to remake some videos. The first lot have been quite successful and I have had some very good comments but I want to improve on them and do some more. All going to be happening soon! meanwhile, if you haven't already viewed the videos, you can view them here now!

Sorry, it simply did not upload. You can view them here : www.wearmyhair.com/videoclips.php

New live models on website!

2010-05-20T02:11:00.000-07:00

At last, all the long wigs & medium length wigs are featured now on real live models. It really brings out the best features of the wigs. The wigs do look different though because on the mannequins, the necks are so long that the long hair wigs hang very long and straight whereas with the live models, the long hair and some of the medium length wigs drape across the shoulders which is more realistic really. Visit the site now to see them all www.wearmyhair.com. Here is a little preview and by the way, these girls are going to be the first, with their friends to come to the pieces parties!

First photoshoot with live models!

2010-05-05T09:06:00.000-07:00

Getting ready for our first photo-shoot of live models wearing wigs to replace the pictures of long wigs and medium length wigs that are currently displayed on mannequins. This will be a big improvement and will enhance the look of the hair quality as it is being done by a professional photographer. I am wearing one too. A medium length red wig for fun. I've never worn anything but blonde wigs before but I really like this one. The pictures I took are not showing up yet so I'll have try again later.

New wigs, long and short, and... silver too!!http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

2010-05-04T02:57:00.000-07:00

Just in - another fabulous addition to the Gemma style of long wigs. Fabulously luscious, this new wig basically makes this item available from stock in black, blonde, red and now brown! Basically, we are now growing the range as and according to people's orders. This is partly out of necessity - ie when a wig is ordered that is not currently in stock, we have to order a minimum number and so that then increases our stock in terms of colour range available. It is also a good way to do it as it is customer lead.

We have also just got another two short style wigs. One is very much a blonde wig and in quite a flicky style as this goes down so well with the ladies of a certain age - or middle youthers, shall we call them!

The final new one is also a short style wig and in a lovely silver colour which is very popular at the moment. Even Lily Allen has been spotted wearing a silver wig!

Many ladies who, having come to terms with turning grey years ago, do not want to suddenly change hair colour just because it is thinning or they have alopecia. But it is difficult to match grey hair so a silver wig is often the best solution!

Video clips and better images

2010-04-23T03:22:00.000-07:00

I have just bought a little camcorder to make better video clips and also to video the pieces parties. From next week, I will be making some new clips which will be much better as I will have the camcorder on a tripod and not have to squash so much in front of the little camera in my macbook. This will be much better. The views too of the wigs will be much better, showing off their length and lushness better.

In just under two weeks we will do the first photo shoot of real live models for the website. The models will be wearing the wigs and it will give a much better idea of what a wig can do for you to either just have fun for the evening, or to change your look altogether if you wear them all the time. Another important aspect of this is that we will have all the girls photographed wearing all the wigs irrespective of colour. So, we have two Indian girls whose natural hair is black. They will be seen in all other colours as I want people to get the idea that a wig does not have to look like your own hair - what would be the point? The idea is that you can have fun and experiment with other colours too. I have seen Japanese kids with their hair dyed blonde and against their skin colour it looks really great! Equally, a black girl with blonde or red hair looks stunning. Then, of course, you do not have to dye your own hair to have all this - just buy a wig for when you want to!

Video clips on wearing and caring for your wigs

2010-04-15T07:30:00.000-07:00

Yes, at last, my first 9 video clips are done and they are on the website www.wearmyhair.com/videoclips.php.
They are also on YouTube www.youtube.com/user/wearmyhair. Though not brilliant quality, they do convey the messages which are, of course, all about wigs. They show the structure of a wig, how to put on and adjust it, how to style and trim the fringe, and they also discuss how to accessorise, wash and care for your wig. Unfortunately, I am only able to post a couple of clips here so go to the above links to watch them in full! I will put them on here as soon as I can.

Wig wearing on youtube!

2010-04-12T06:01:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is the day I load my video clips on wig wearing know-how onto youtube. You can find it here www.youtube.com/user/wearmyhair

I think it will be really useful for people considering wearing a wig for whatever reason. It will help them to see that it is really easy, not at all hot and that they never fall or blow off. Also that you can do all sorts of funky things to style them! They are such fun and the videos will be linked to my website also from tomorrow at www.wearmyhair.com

Saw a very moving story about a little girl from Suffolk who had a wig for chemotherapy as she was going to have a bone marrow transplant. I dont know where the family bought the wig but I bet they paid a load more than they would have had to from me and Cambridge is not so far from Suffolk! We do children's wigs for girls and boys! We offer free consultation with an appointment and all products are also available to buy online from www.wearmyhair.com

Sold another wig

2010-03-31T07:26:00.000-07:00

Just sold another wig to a lady who does not have cancer or alopecia she is just a middle aged lady who has dyed her own hair to death and now it is falling out. She ordered Nikki but in blonder colours. That is such a cool feature of www.wearmyhair.com
You can have what you want, not what we've got.

Because we buy from the manufacturer you can have exactly what you want so we invite you to choose your style and then choose you colour / colour combination and either blended or streaked, you really have complete control and can choose exactly what you want. So go there now and make your own choice! www.wearmyhair.com

Better prices and a better service

2010-03-30T08:40:00.000-07:00

wear my hair recently heard about people suffering from hairloss, cancer & alopecia having to pay £300 and more for a synthetic wig and a consultation! This is outrageous! www.wearmyhair.com is based in Cambridge and all stock is held in Cambridge, consultations are free with an appointment and everyone can try on as many wigs as they want. In a pleasant and friendly atmosphere, everyone is offered coffee or tea and can take as long as they need trying on wigs and they are encouraged to bring a friend or relative for a second opinion if they wish to.

It is a very personal thing and for someone who may be stressed and unhappy due to hair loss and illness it is essential that finding and choosing a wig does not add to that stress. At wear my hair we do our best to help everyone!

Wigs in Cambridge

2010-03-26T02:55:00.000-07:00

Wigs in Cambridge is now in my keywords! On the basis that there are businesses claiming to be in Cambridge, which clearly are not, www.wearmyhair.com is now signing up for a Yell directory listing. The listing will include logo, links to our twitter, facebook and blogger posts. On the business pages will also be lots of photos of wigs, hairpieces & extensions. These will go up straight away and be refreshed as soon as the live model photoshoot has happened.

I will also be checking today to see if the Cancer support & other hairloss help agencies have entered our link yet on their websites as promised. We have links on our site to 5 cancer support agencies and feel strongly that our link should be on their sites so that their clients and patients can find us.

Me, Joanna, accessorising my short and very straight wig with a scarf worn as a bandana!

wig photo shoot!

2010-03-24T07:29:00.000-07:00

Yes, at last, the wig photo shoot is going ahead on May 3. Was to have been April 26 but one of the girls is on holiday so it's now May 3rd. As soon as possible after that we will be having our first ever Pieces Party. Kicking off with the models and their friends, plus helpers, this is going to be great fun and will, I think start a change in the whole accessorising thing with women taking on board the idea of wigs and pieces as an "as well as (their own hair) rather than (necessarily) instead of (their own hair)" Black girls do it big time and I think it will catch on for everybody - Lily Allen and loads of Celebs do it already but I guess ordinary folk view as a ' yes well, that's ok for celebs" but no, it's so OK for everybody - really. It is so much fun!

Wigs in Cambridge

2010-03-22T08:04:00.000-07:00

There are websites out there claiming to be 'wigs in Cambridge' but they are based miles away. This is very disingenious as they are misleading the public when they are not Cambridge based and they do not have a Cambridge shop. www.wearmyhair.com is Cambridge based and all stock is held in Cambridge. Free consultations are offered with appointment only and wigs, hairpieces and extensions can be bought from the Cambridge address or from www.wearmyhair.com.

Now that I've got that little rant out of my system, I can concentrate on the new ideas. I have just dyed my hair a lovely light red (see colour ref: HK36 on the colour chart or here are the pictures of the uploaded colours.
It is such a sweet colour and I love it so I plan to order some wigs in that colour and streaked with the purple which I think will look really funky.
So, for all your hair accessorising adventures go www.wearmyhair.com.

South Africa holiday

2010-03-14T07:10:00.000-07:00

Had the most brilliant holiday in Cape Town South Africa. The weather was devine and hot and sunny every day. All the black girls are wearing wigs & hairpieces even though it must be really expensive for them there. They mostly have the grotty jobs and many of them have no jobs at all. They fix each others hair and we saw them in the street, sitting out in the sun braiding hair and attaching hair extensions and trimming wigs.

They are not remotely self conscious about it. They have absolutely no inhibitions - so long as their hair looks good, they will spend their very last rand on it. I find that a very refreshing attitude!

I actually wore a childrens wig in a very light colour whilst I was there. I figured it would be hot and therefore the light colour and really snug fit would be most comfortable and it was. It is girl 2 wig in colour ref: FR25F. Here is a picture of me wearing it. Looks a bit weird as it was night and using a flash! But the wig is good +++

Pieces Parties!

2010-02-25T04:14:00.000-08:00

Pieces Parties are going to happen as soon as I can organise the first one when I get back from South Africa. I leave today for 2 weeks blissful holiday and I am really excited.

I have all the girls who are going to model for my website already enthusiastic about the Pieces Parties and though the expectation will be that the guests will come and buy a wig, hairpiece or extensions, I do not expect that everyone will especially not at the first one. But it will be fun. Also, and crucially, it will spread the message that accessorising your hair does not have to be limited to scarves, ribbons, clips etc, you can wear pieces!

I am actually wearing a childrens wig now because I am off on holiday and this is the best size for me. I have a really small head and though I mainly wear the adult ones, as I am going to sunny climes, where blonde rules, I decided to wear this as it will be so comfortable.

I will be blogging during my holiday, or at least, that is the plan now, so bye for now and dont forget to email me if you want to be included in the Pieces Parties!

Pieces Parties!

2010-02-19T21:44:00.000-08:00

Pieces Parties!

Ok, this idea is now on it's own page on my website www.wearmyhair.com/PiecesParties.php. This idea is to create an opportunity for those who are not able or you are not keen on buying initially online. A kind of "try before you buy" concept but combining the fun of a social and networking event with trying on different styles and colours. Then buying safe in the knowledge that the wig, hairpiece or extensions is right for you.

The first Pieces Party will be planned over the next couple of months and will take place at my home in Cambridge. The first guests will be those young girls and their friends who have put themselves forward to be wig models for the new website images. It then struck me how "up for it", the whole hairpieces, wigs & extensions as accessories this age group really is. And yet they are often disadvantaged when it comes to buying from an internet shop such as wearmyhair.

If they are under 18 they will not have a credit card and may well not have a paypal account either, so it is difficult for them to buy online. I know this because I have had postal orders sent with orders online, and in fact created a page explaining how to buy for those in this situation.

The concept will be developed and may include other similar events depending on numbers and success, but it is hoped in the longer term to develop Pieces Parties further afield to include neighbouring counties such as Norfolk, Suffolk, Herts and Essex.

"Piece Parties" Promoting fashion wigs, hairpieces and extensions!

2010-02-18T01:09:00.000-08:00

"Piece Parties"! I have had a new idea for promoting all my products, particularly among teens and early 20's! The name I have come up with is "Piece Parties", "piece' being hairpiece. Now some people call all hair substitutes hairpieces as it is a more pleasing word than wigs, which still has a certain naff conotation from the 70's maybe when wigs really were naff. But they so are not now! I wear them all the time and believe me, if they were naff, I would not wear them - EVER!

The idea of the "Piece Party" (the inverted commas will be dropped when the term is known and understood), is much like all the other selling/buying parties, I will invite people and their friends to come to my house to try on and buy hairpieces, wigs, extensions and accessories. The event will be light-hearted and fun with the expectation of sales but without the pressure. The target market is young girls really, and the idea popped into my head because I have found when looking for wig models, it is this group that is really, really up for it. Much more so than the slightly older ones. So, it maybe that my real market will grow with this age group coming up.

Time to get to work then! After my holiday, we shall be doing the photo shoot to change the website www.wearmyhair.com
images from mannequins to real live models. We will be doing this initially for all the womens wigs. I already have about 6 girls who are willing to be models and their parents have agreed to sign the necessary permissions if they are under 18, and they will form the initial guests at the grand inaugural "Piece Party". They will, of course, be encouraged to invite their friends and I will lay on some light refreshments and depending on how the first event goes, plan more and later on, further afield.

It may be sensible, when going further afield to team other with other party organisers. There are lots of party events - Ann Summers, Avon, Shoes, and they all fit well with all other fashion and well-being concepts.

If you are interested in being involved with this idea, or coming along to my first party, then contact me now at info@wearmyhair.com or call me on 07810 872 034 and let the fun begin! Piece Parties the way to go!

Wigs in Cambridge

2010-02-16T03:18:00.000-08:00

There was a bit of confusion yesterday as a lady turned up at my house asking "Is this the wig shop"? I replied that the address is correct but strictly speaking the shop is an internet one and there is no actual shop at my Gilbert Road address. That said, all the stock is held there and it is certainly where I do the consultations but you do need to ring first for an appointment. The consultations are free and you can buy any of the wigs, hairpieces, extensions or accessories from my home or from the website.

The lady came from Saffron Walden and she was wanting a wig. She googled 'wigs Cambridge' and she got my address but did not find the website. That is very strange. www.wearmyhair.com for wigs, hairpieces, extensions & accessories, Cambridge, UK.

Clip-in Hair Extensions selling well!

2010-02-04T06:51:00.000-08:00

I am delighted to say that the brightly coloured clip-in extensions are selling really well! I had thought that as so many people use hair extensions to bulk out or add length, layers etc to their own hair, perhaps the brightly coloured ones wouldn't do so well. Wrong! they are flying out.!!

It goes to show that there is really a place for everything. Maybe the pictures of me wearing about 4 colours of clip-in hair extensions for a Christmas Party helped people to see how they too might use them to accessorize their own hair or, indeed, as I do, a wig!

Hairpieces too, are a good way of bulking up or lengthening your own hair, the most obvious disadvantages being that you need to match as closely as possible with your real hair if you want it to look like all your own hair. Not so with a wig. The great advantage with a wig is you really can go different. A whole new colour, blonde, red, black, whatever you've never been, you can "suck it and see" with a wig! And, of course, it isn't just a one off for a day or two post salon visit, you simply put it on and take it off and wear it again and again whenever you want. Not much in favour am I? What's not to like, I say!

Go for the hair you want, not what you were born with!

How often do you hear your friends and family, well, particularly the females among them, complaining about their hair? For me it's loads and loads. It's everything, too thin, too thick, too curly, too straight, too fine, too frizzy, the list is endless. I even know people who constantly wear their hair scraped back and tied up to keep it out of sight, all day every day.

I do not understand why in this day and age, they do not simply wear a wig. They are so good, so easy, so cheap in comparison to the freedom they bring and the cost of hair salons, which for the most part can only give you a very temporary fix. And, black girls do it all the time and look fab in their wigs and weaves and extensions, they look really briliant.

Go look and buy here, and start the first day of the rest of your life! www.wearmyhair.com

Surprise visitors yesterday

2010-01-15T21:30:00.000-08:00

And it was a surprise! I was just returning from a shopping trip in Cambridge and an eye test and suddenly I heard voices behind me as I walked down my drive. Four young girls were following and asked if "this is the wig shop". I invited them in and got out my large stock and sorted them out with the wigs they wanted. I was very thrilled because they represented exactly the customers that I want to attract - girls and women who want to use wigs and hairpieces to accessorize their looks. That is exactly it!

One of them wanted to see how auburn hair would suit her and yet didn't want to take that drastic step of dying her own hair until and unless she was quite sure that it would look as she expected or better. So what better way to "suck it and see" than buying a wig so that she could not only get used to the colour gradually, but she could make regular comparisons with her own natural colour to see if that is really what she wants. And, of course, she can have great fun wearing the wig whenever she wants to.

So now I have added a line or two to the bottom of my homepage at www.wearmyhair.com to explain that it is an online shop and that to view and try on wigs, hairpieces & extensions at my home address is fine, but please make an appointment first so that I can be ready for you!

Website changes make everything clearer

2010-01-10T21:55:00.000-08:00

I have spent the weekend making very important changes to the website that should make buying the products much easier and clearer.

1. The colour chart has been renewed to focus on the new colours for the hair extensions and to reflect the fact that all our purchasing from now on will be using these colours. They have been matched to the existing stock of wigs and hairpieces and extensions.

2. For each item, the colour reference and description matches exactly the colour chart and the instruction for selecting that product in the colours shown is given. This is particularly important where a wig or hairpiece contains two or three different colours and may, in the past, have made selection difficult.

3. Because instructions for selecting a pictured item is given, it also makes it obvious how to select different colours if required and this will enhance the added value that these feature affords.

I will spend some time this week going over all the pages again and making sure that all the references match up and that buying from the site is now as straightforward for wigs with two or three colours as it is for wigs, hairpieces and extensions with just one colour.

The final change will be to add the colour grey. We currently have a light grey and a dark grey wig for the " middle youthers " but there is no grey on the colour chart. This will be rectified today.

Let's hope that these changes will greatly improve the experience of shopping at www.wearmyhair.com

New colour chart!

2010-01-07T09:18:00.000-08:00

Lots of lovely new colours for your wigs, hairpieces & extensions. It has taken an age to update the colour chart but tomorrow all the wigs and hairpieces and extension colours will be updated too. I think the colour chart is simpler, the reference numbers shorter and less complicated and it should make a better shopping experience.

As with everything, it is up to you, the customers, to tell me what you like and dont like. If there are some colours that you want or some that I have taken off that you want re-instated, just let me know, I will put them back in a jiffy.

But all the new bright colours are there so you can select them for your products now. Dont worry about the colour reference not matching that on the wig picture - I have them all cross-referenced and they will all match tomorrow. Will blog the update tomorrow too!

Getting ready for New Year's Eve!

2009-12-29T14:43:00.000-08:00

I certainly am! Going to wear the coloured extensions showed in my last blog and probably more! These have a little comb as well as the clip for fixing so that they work extremely well on a wig. The comb spikes into the weft and helps hold the extension in place and the clip fixes it.

I only used 4 in this picture but I might well use more on Thursday and might even try to plait them or some how make them look extra glam. I will post pickies of course as soon as I have got over my hangover! Thinking of it - better at lease take the pickies before I go out - could be a bit of a disaster otherwise!

Accessorize junkie

2009-12-27T02:55:00.000-08:00

That's me ok, I just love accessorizing my looks with wigs and extensions.

I have just finished reading Jade Goody's autobiography, "Fighting to the end". It was very enjoyable and I feel, as I have always felt, a deep admiration for her honesty and courage. I think if anyone got "the heavy load". as opposed to the "silver spoon", she did. I mention it here as there are photos of her and quotes saying how she loved wearing wigs to change her style in an instant.

Here I am again, this time, and it's the day after Boxing Day, wearing a much trimmed "Megan" with a ribbon at the back. I just love it.

Hair extensions to party in

2009-12-18T00:21:00.000-08:00

New now! Wonderful colours of hair extensions to buy on line from www.wearmyhair.com. Just look at these! They are 24" long single clip-in extensions that have simply been clipped into my wig and looped back and over each side and held with a feather clip bought from Accessorize!

I didn't want to cut them and then only have them short, so looping them over my head made a good way to use them to effect without changing them forever. I was so pleased with this effect, I went off to a party in them!

Children's wigs

2009-12-09T03:31:00.000-08:00

Children's wigs are now in stock! We have a very short style which can be for a boy or girl. We have a girl's long style and we have a girl's short style which is chin length. They are very sweet and though we only bought a light blonde colour, on the basis that most children in the UK seem to have blonde hair, any other colours can be ordered.

Here they are; any comments welcome!

pictures of new wigs and hair extensions

2009-12-03T14:18:00.000-08:00

The pictures of the children's wigs will not be available for a few days as I have to paint the new mannequins to display them on. However, if you haven't followed the links on my last post to the site, and I dont blame you as I messed that all up with the wrong code and had to do another post to correct it, here are the pictures now!
Go to the site to view all the pictures- long wigs under women's wigs and all the wacky colours in hair extensions. These are just a sample.

Establishing charity links

2009-11-25T21:22:00.000-08:00

Wear my Hair is developing into 2 distinct markets - one is fashion- wigs, hairpieces & extensions for those who dont like their own hair or just want a change of style or to experiment with styles and colours. Two is for those with medical needs - cancer or alopecia that causes hairloss as a side effect of chemotherapy.

I am trying to assist a number of cancer care organisations through fundraising, link exchange and other support. I have recently posted the ACT, Addenbrookes Charitable Trust widget on each of my site's pages that deals with hair loss issues. So, it is on the medical needs page, the men's wigs page and the children's wigs page. The widget enables donations and I hope will be successful.

I would be very willing to donate from every wig sale at all the trade shows but there just isn't any appropriate events. They are all Art and Crafts and what my products need is Fashion and Beauty Fairs. I do Wedding Fairs and I can certainly implement a donation from wig sales there, but I only attend two per year as they have got very expensive and again, are not entirely appropriate for my market.

I actually think fashion and beauty shows would be a huge success - girls and women are mad about everything to do with fashion and beauty - think Claire's Accessories and Accessorize!

I know a company that stages loads of arts and craft fairs so I will suggest it to them and hope for a positive response!

The rationale behind our wig purchase policy

2009-11-20T03:48:00.000-08:00

Recently, I have been asked why I do not stock human hair wigs, hairpieces and extensions? My business really caters for two markets, one is fashion. Those who choose to wear the products for accessorising their look or because they do not like their own hair.

The other market is for those who through illness or stress are loosing or have lost their hair. They might feel that they have no choice but to wear a wig or a hairpiece. This market has within it, men, women and boys and girls and all of them will have their own specific experience about their illness and its consequences. But, having had a sister who suffered all of this through cancer, I felt that synthetic wigs are better for this group in that they are a relatively cheap solution to a temporary problem. The patient will get better and their own hair will grow back again and so why spend a fortune on a human hair wig!

It is surely better to promote the shorter life of a synthetic wig in these circumstances than a very expensive long-life human hair product that does nothing to encourage the patient to feel positive towards the future.

funky coloured Hair Extensions on their way

2009-11-16T07:32:00.000-08:00

They have been manufactured and are being shipped now - Funky colours and nine of them in 24inch hair extensions. Pink, purple, blue, electric blue, silver, green, orange, red and yellow, will that do for starters!? I think so! Also, the long awaited children's wigs and mannequins are in this shipment and should be in the UK within the next week.

Let's hope they dont get held up in Customs or any strikes! New very long black and blonde wigs are also part of this order and as soon as they arrive we will start the photography to swop most of the mannequins on the product pages for real live models and revamp the site with a whole new simplified colour chart.

Wednesday also sees the start of the video editing process so we expect to have the video clips published by the end of this week. It should have been earlier, but other stuff got in the way.

Keep watching and following!

New colours for wigs

2009-11-03T06:23:00.000-08:00

As we speak, new colour swatches are being photographed for the website to enable some really funky colours for wigs, hairpieces & extensions. The whole colour chart is being upgraded to simplify it but without reducing the colour range in any way.

By early next week, you could be able to order your wig, hairpiece or extensions in some really neon colours including electric blue, purple, green, bright pink etc. The colours will be available across all products and will, I hope, zing up our offer and create more sales.

Also, there are some more products on order, including a fabulous long wig in black, and another long blonde wig
blonde hairpiece & children's wigs. As soon as the long wigs & hairpieces have arrived we will be putting together the photo shoot to have real live models on the website!

Website changes

2009-10-28T03:05:00.000-07:00

I have made some important changes to the website www.wearmyhair.com as it happened this week that I got an order through the post. The order was for a wig, but enclosed was a postal order covering the cost of the wig and postage. It alerted me to the fact that some people, under 18s for instance, do not have cheque books, credit cards or paypal accounts and that provision for anyone who does not have these or prefers not to use these, needed to be made.

With this in mind, a "how to order" page has now been created advising this category that postal orders are fine but need to be made payable to Wear my Hair/ Joanna Holding. This information is linked from the homepage by the sentence "If you do not have a credit card or cheque book?". I think this is adequate.

wig photo shoot!

2009-10-25T05:28:00.000-07:00

I am feeling now that my stock of wigs, hairpieces & extensions is large enough, and covers enough wants and wishes to start upgrading the site www.wearmyhair.com with photographs of live models rather than mannequins. The mannequins have been great and will continue to be used, especially for the men's wigs, children's wigs and as an accessory for salons and individuals. But with proper professionally shot pictures, the modelled wigs & hairpieces will demonstrate their true glamour.

So far, I have found 4 girls willing to spend an evening modelling the wigs for which they will all be given a really beautiful free photo of themselves. One of the girls is black and I do hope to find another, so that we can demonstrate that www.wearmyhair.com
has gorgeous products for everyone.

Children's wigs & mannequins are on order and soon they will be on the site. This, like men's wigs is something of a minimal demand at the moment, but that could well be due to the fact that there has been very little in the way of wigs for them. We aim to change all that but shortage of funds demands that we increase stock only in line with demand as far as is possible.

Chemo chic with or without a wig!

2009-10-17T05:28:00.000-07:00

What a great theme this is. Found it in The Times today and feel very humbled by Jessica's bravery. My sister died of breast cancer eight years ago and that is part of the reason I set up www.wearmyhair.com. One of the problems Annette had was the hideous wig the NHS provided.

At such a difficult time, it must be up to every individual whether they choose to wear a wig, wear nothing, as did Jade much of the time, or wear any or all of the gorgeous and glam scarves and turbans available. At wear my hair, I am trying to help those who prefer to wear a wig, by providing a good range of wigs for £65 as a rule, but also the option to custom choose and have a bespoke wig delivered in 2-3 weeks only! I buy direct from the manufacturers so there is no middle man and I offer men's wigs, women's wigs & children's wigs, as well as hairpieces & extensions.

In recent posts I have been encouraging those who do wear wigs, to glam them up, as if they needed it, with ribbons, clips and all sorts. It all adds to the fun and whether it is cancer or alopecia, or any other reason, boosted fun and a greater sense of recovery is all important through difficult times.

Accessorize your wig revisited!

2009-10-16T09:12:00.000-07:00

Hi again, been having loads of fun with ribbons recently. Wearing a new wig, a little short wig called Grace, I decided, again because the front bits tend to get in my face, to tie them back with little thin ribbons. It really is great to wear a wig and accessorize it. It makes any and all wigs & hairpieces look exactly like real hair as putting things in hair is part of make-up and jewellery in a way.

If you buy a really long wig, you can carry off the most excellent up-do as you simply leave the back of it hanging fairly low so that the weft remains hidden under the hair. I will show you that wig trick another time. Here's some pickies in case you want to try it yourself!

A curly wig for a change!

2009-10-12T08:16:00.000-07:00

Yes, I break the habit of a lifetime in this business but I have to concede that there really are people out there that actually want curly hair. Actually, this wig, named Cassie, is available because a customer had a specific request and so I got it for her.

Generally speaking, we are in the business of straight hair, straight hair wigs as just about the entire world is straightening their hair of even the slightest flick or wave. It seems almost every year that the fashion pundits tell us that curly hair is back in fashion, but no-one takes any notice and the curly extravaganzas remain confined to the glossy mags and centrefolds.

Anyway, who knows, maybe we will be deluged with orders for curly wigs from now on!

Selling wigs at the Chilford Hall Wedding Fair!

2009-10-05T07:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a great day at Chilford Hall (Linton Cambs.) Wedding Fair. It is the third one that we, www.wearmyhair.com have exhibited our wigs, hairpieces & extensions at. There was a real buzz and I had nine mannequins and nine wigs displayed on them which caused a lot of excitement. Also on display I had two extra wigs just on the table so that the visitors could pick them up and look and feel them. I also had hairpieces & extensions pinned up high on my display board and bags too.

I sold a number of wigs and two hairpieces and my last customer of the day was actually the owner of the venue so that was an extra thrill. She was a 'middle youther' as they say and she was delighted to find a little short wig in a nice choppy style which looked totally natural on her.

Loads of girls and women were trying on the wigs and I encourage this as it enables me to fully put across the accessorizing mantra that I have for them. "you wouldn't wear the same make up and nail varnish with every outfit, so why wear the same hair"? Then they really do get the idea that it is simply fun to have different hairstyles for different occasions.

It was a great day. The next one is in February 2010! Here is my stand at the fair.

Exciting changes to website and wig colour options!

2009-10-02T02:41:00.000-07:00

The next thing is going to be extending our range of wig colours. Apart from pink and gold, we have been rather conservative in the colour options available for people to choose for their wigs & hairpieces. We just have to get the additional colours - electric blue, purple, silver, orange, green etc, photographed and then we can put them on the site. It will probably mean removing some of the existing colours where they are too similar to another more popular colour, but it will be a good move, I think. One more thing, you can order these new colours already, so call me if you are looking for a funky colours wig! m: 07810 872 034.

We have been specifically asked for some of these colours as the trend in hair accessories grows. It's exciting and we want to be right there for the action!

Another thing to mention here is that Wear my Hair will be exhibiting at the Chilford Hall Wedding Fair on Sunday 4 October, so if you are in the Cambridge region, get yourself over there for an excellent day out! Chilford Hall is in Linton, CB21 4LE.

Women's wigs re-organised!

2009-09-30T23:44:00.000-07:00

Women's wigs have been re-organised on the website www.wearmyhair.com so that they are in subcategories of long, medium length & short wigs. This should make it easier and quicker to navigate around to find what you want.

Children's wigs have also been added to the site but at present they are only available to order. Looking for child head and shoulders mannequins to buy so that I can paint them and have them as my models when I buy in stock.

The homepage layout has changed a little in that the main categories , women's wigs, children's wigs, men's wigs, accessories & hair extensions have been shortened so that they fit better on the main navigation bar. Also, accessories includes all accessories, bags & mannequins. Hair extensions includes Hair pieces. I think it is tidier and gift vouchers have moved to the top navigation bar as they are not of primary interest to most visitors.

Please post your views here or comment on www.twitter.com/wearmyhair

New wig- short and curly

2009-09-29T07:52:00.000-07:00

Another new wig has just arrived. This time, short and curly. I think this style will be popular as it is so easy to manage. The wig has a special very soft cap and so that makes it especially good for anyone with medical needs such as cancer and alopecia.

I am in the process of dividing the women's wigs into long wigs, medium length wigs, and short wigs as this will make the site easier to navigate. I will then look to improve the main category headings to make them more relevant to the content.

Gotta have straight hair ! Wigs, hairpieces & extensions!

2009-09-25T20:12:00.000-07:00

Breakfast tv yesterday at 8.20. A short feature about how black women achieve a straight hair look by wearing wigs, hairpieces & extensions!

Ever noticed that you really only ever see the classic afro look on the little kiddies nowadays? Yep! everyone gotta get straight hair! Some black girls straighten their hair with relaxer formulations which can burn their skin and though it relaxes the tight curl of their natural barnet, it does not give the sleek, smooth Naomi Campbell or Mica Paris look.

This is how www.wearmyhair.com can help.

We import and sell at brilliant prices, straight hair wigs, hairpieces & extensions, and we are trying to get across the message that just like black girls, white girls too can have the hair they want! There is no need to angst over your own hair if you dont like it or it wont style how you want it.

Do what I do - wear a wig and regard it as just another fashion accessory! Furthermore, at £65 average, it's cheaper than going to a hair salon and you can wear it as often or as little as you like.

You can buy wigs, hairpieces & extensions from www.wearmyhair.com and begin the next day of the rest of your life! You can also get accessories, hair care products, cute little bags for travelling wigs, hairpieces and extensions - special velcro closure does not snag the hair!
You can also get a hand-painted mannequin for putting your wig on to style it if you want! Some people find this helpful if they want to trim the wig or add accessories such as ribbons, clips or a corsage.

Ooooooooh isn't it all just such fun! Picture - me again with wig and ribbon!

Children's wigs

2009-09-23T08:32:00.000-07:00

Children's wigs are going to be the next addition to my portfolio! There is a demand out there for really nice and comfortable wigs for children. Children with cancer or any other hairloss condition, need wigs that are manufactured for them from start to finish so that they look and feel comfortable and realistic.

I have sourced some nice ones that should work well as a starting point for girls wigs and boys wigs. The most important thing is the cap size. Though they are all adjustable, the cap size needs to fit comfortably above the ears and in the nape of the neck. Here are some pictures of a few styles that I will be offering.

Find wigs, pieces & extensions more easily

2009-09-17T10:49:00.000-07:00

Want to find a wig, hairpiece, extensions more easily and quickly - well I hope my day's work will help you with that.

I have spent the day going through the site making sure that all colour references and descriptions of wigs, hairpieces & extensions are consistent and accurate throughout the site. I have also added to each women's wigs & men's wigs page the size and adjusting method so that customers can be assured that the products will fit ok.

This important information was certainly in the text but not on the actual buying pages which was a silly oversight of mine! Another improvement is that I have grouped together wigs, men's & women's roughly by length or other unifying characteristic like background colour. I hope that this will make the site look more congruent and tidy.

Perhaps the most important change though is that I added a no quibble returns committment to the home page, subject to conditions of course, but again, this was only in the t's & c's and who wants to trawl through all of that!

There is much more to come, but hopefully, that will improve the site and make it more navicable in the short term.

Another new wig style

2009-09-15T08:07:00.000-07:00

Another slightly curly wig is on order by special request. It is shoulder length and will be available in two weeks. This wig is a blend of #18 a light brown and #28 a blonde and will be fab. For those who want something a bit more subtle than a true blonde, it is the ideal compromise and looks perfect - salon ready!

The name of this wig will be new but it is styled on Nikki. Here is a preview

home page relevance to wig adwords

2009-09-08T04:13:00.000-07:00

Hello again, I seem to be finding lots to talk about lately. That is because I am working very hard to produce better sales of women's wigs, hairpiece & extensions & men's wigs .

I have changed the home page to be clearer with bullet points links to the various product pages. I have also highlighted the fact that our wigs, hairpieces & extensions are cheaper as we buy direct from the manufacturer, not from a middle-man wholesaler.

I also highlight the next day delivery. Do you think this is better? Would love to have a comment!

Me in a great short wig

2009-09-07T06:38:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody! Here I am this bright and breezy Monday sporting a great little short wig that I'd like you all to see. I have customised it a bit, just trimmed the fringe and a wee bit off the front bits as it tended to flop around my mouth which was annoying.

I've taken these two pictures to show you how I have accessorise it with a ribbon. This serves two purposes; it keeps the front bits out of my face and it makes it look very attractive from the back with the ribbon. I have bought several colours of ribbon as it's fun to co-ordinate with whatever you are wearing. You like?

Let's glam it up for the party season!

2009-09-01T05:24:00.000-07:00

Wigs, hairpieces & extensions are so NOW! The party season starts at www.wearmyhair.com. Just changed the 3 pictures on the home page to show some long styles. We've already featured the men's wigs and the short style wigs, so let's get back to some long and sexy styles for Autumn and Winter.

There is such a lot you can do with a wig that you probably wouldn't think possible. It is really easy. Today, I am wearing a short wig with fringe, Lily, in fact, see bottom image and I have accessorized it by pulling back the front pieces, taking them to the back and tying them with a pretty ribbon. I described this in my previous blog post. You can also use hairbands, corsages, clips and flowers in the very same way that you might with your own hair.

In my next post I hope to be able to attach the video clip of this so that you too can have fun and make the most of your wigs, hairpieces & extensions.

Hair extensions

2009-08-30T01:26:00.000-07:00

Hair extensions! I have changed the way these are displayed on the site now so that they are hanging up, not lying flat. This is obviously better as it gives an impression of the length and volume.

These clip-in single extensions are the easiest type to fix into your and can also be fitted into wigs. Within the next week I am going to be making the video demos that will show you a number of ways to enhance your hair or wig. The demos will also cover how to put on a wig, how to trim it and care for it, as well as additional ways of accessorising your wig.

Hairpieces will also be discussed and demonstrated to show how to attach a hairpiece and how you can accessorise that too. Yesterday, I bought some lovely ribbon and use it in colours co-ordinated with what I am wearing to tie back the sides of my wig which can annoy me when flopping over my face and sticking to my lip-gloss!

I will probably take a few trial and error attempts to get the video content as good and helpful to you as possible, but hang in there, I think it will be good. I am confident about this because as someone who wears a wig practically all the time, I know what matters and what is just sales patter that you might find elsewhere.
