Let's glam it up for the party season!

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

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.

Wigs here, wigs there!

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!
