Just linked the homepage at www.wearmyhair.com with this blog as it is much better for potential customers to follow this, with all the news of wigs, hairpieces & extensions, than twitter where the world and his mother is tweeting about nothing to do with anybodys hair.
August has not been a good month for sales but it is the holiday season at it's height and I'm hopeful that things will pick up again in September. Fingers crossed!

Another great new wig!
Just had delivery of another great wig style, well no, the style is already on the site www.wearmyhair.com in men's wigs but the colour is a great blend of 3 colours that then makes a lovely light brown.
I think that this style and colour is so good, I have also added it to women's wigs!

Finding new wig customers
Finding new wig customers is very important to me so I always carry some business cards with me wherever I go. This is a good idea, all be it obvious, for all businesses.
Last week I went to have a look at Westfield, the new(ish) shopping centre in West London. It was great and I did buy a new dress. The reason why I am telling you this is that on the Hammersmith and City underground line which I was taking, sat three women opposite me. They started chatting and one with long dark hair was asked by one of the others if she still wanted to "go back to blonde"? "Yes," she replied, "but I will probably get a wig instead of dyeing it again".
Quick as a flash, out came my cards and I gave one to each of them. They were thrilled so let's hope they become my new customers!

wigs for cancer sufferers
In today's The Times, Body + Soul section is a whole article on wearing wigs. It is by Trevor Sorbie, famous London hairdresser and it is about cutting and styling wigs for people experiencing hairloss through chemotherapy. He writes that it is a devastating experience and it is. My sister suffered it and unfortunately died from her cancer eight years ago. I have never forgotton how her awful wig from the NHS was part of the problem.
My sister's experience is one of the reasons why I started wear my hair, www.wearmyhair.com. We stock a good selection of short, medium and long wigs and also men's wigs. Though not everyone can come to the house to try on and fit their choice of wig, software is available now for simulated trying on. But, even without either of those options, and the latter will be made available to our customers as soon as possible, a wig purchase should not be daunting as they are so lifelike, adjustable to fit and easy to trim. For most people, your own local hairdresser will be able and willing to trim the wig, but if it is just the fringe that is too long, you can probably do that yourself.
Another point to bear in mind, and this in no way compromises the difficulties faced by those whose need to wear a wig is due to illness, is that plenty of people of both sexes wear wigs in preference to their own hair. This includes me. That is how good today's wigs.

New wigs completed and on the way!
Some new men's wigs are now finished and on their way. This range is a subtle blonde blend which will look great on the guys and do equally well as a women's wig. Only because the style is quite short and layered so that makes it more a unisex style.
August is quite quiet as loads of people are on holiday and those that have not yet gone, are probably saving their money up for it. No worries. Then comes the 2nd Wedding Show season. Generally September to early December, there are lots of Wedding Fairs and the next one we will be exhibiting at is at Chilford Hall , Linton, Cambridgeshire, CB21 4LE., www.chilfordhall.co.uk on Sunday October 4th 2009. It is always a very busy and well attended show with all you need to source for your Wedding!
If you think your hair might let you down on your special day, then come along to the Chilford Hall Wedding Fair and see and try on our latest wigs, hairpieces and extensions so whatever happens, you will look your best on the day. Not just for brides, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, hens and friends, bring them all along!

women's wigs, men's wigs
Just changed some of the website headings to women's wigs and men's wigs. This is to be more specific and to keep the titles matching the key words. Also, it is a bit silly, coy even, to beat about the bush with fashion wigs and guys stuff, when we are actually talking about and selling wigs. People searching for the products are going to call them by the proper name and so it makes sense to stick to that on the site too.
When all is said and done, nobody can tell if you are wearing a wig, unless, that is, it is exceptionally bad or some outlandish colour. But that is why the party wigs are now relegated to a subcategory. Most, no, almost all people buy ordinary, mainstream wigs, hairpieces & extension. They also usually choose a colour that is close to their own colour, be that natural or dyed.
So, from now on, www.wearmyhair.com will be as direct and straightforward as possible to hopefully improve and enhance all our customers shopping and visiting experience.

wigs as a lifestyle choice
Wigs can make terrific sense as a lifestyle choice for many people, particularly women who feel that their appearance is important in their job, and that this can be improved by wearing a wig.
It is so easy, so convenient and so cost effective. At www.wearmyhair.com we have many customers for whom this is exactly it. It is not only very expensive and time-consuming to go to the hairdresser every few weeks, but for most people, a new cut and style simply doesn't stay looking good for more than a few days anyway. A wig, on the otherhand, will stay looking good, exactly as you bought it, for weeks and weeks. Months even, depending on how often you wear it. It is a really good investment and because a wig is such a practical choice over and above, salons, hairpieces and extensions, many customers buy more than one in order to have different styles to suit mood, occasion or both.
My husband often complains about my huge wardrobes of clothes and shoes. And I have to agree, I do have a lot of clothes and shoes, but I live and work in a city where I feel my appearance matters. For the same reason, I too wear a wig most of the time. My natural hair is awkward. It is not curly or frizzy but it just sticks out and is so thick it sits on my head like a hedge and I hate it! On the other hand, where we are just now, holidaying in our little retreat www.norfolkcottage.co.uk my appearance is of very little concern to me. I wear outdoor clothes - jeans or "Fat Face" style clothing to suit the long country walks and pub lunches that we will indulge in. And, when on such pursuits, I couldn't care less about my hair, so I just go about 'au naturel', save a dab of make-up, which I confess I cannot do without.
But it really is 'each to her own'. I just feel that for many women, the huge confidence boost that good hair brings, makes spreading the word about wearing a wig as a solution if you don't feel you have good hair, is important as so many customers say that they wish they had discovered it sooner!
