Exciting changes to website!


I have recently made a number of useful changes to my website www.wearmyhair.com.
First of all, the layout of the homepage has changed and is now organised as columns which means that whatever size screen a viewer has, they will be able to see everything and will only need to scroll down for all the details. Previously, the 'featured range', the first three pictures of wigs were at the bottom of the page which meant that they were not immediatly visible to all visitors to the site.

I have now incorporated the Twitter widget to the top left column making it easier to follow me on Twitter. Various banners with changing content are also on the left column. The featured range is now on the right column, tempting visitors to scroll down to see them all.

I have also re-done the pictures of the Guys Stuff. Now the pictures are much better presented with a bright but non-reflective background.

The 'coming soon' area mentions that next is videos. Yup, to show putting on a wig, trimming a wig, styling a wig and everything else people want support with before they buy a wig. Not everyone can come to my home and as I dont have a shop, it is necessary to provide this support by video and audio clips.

I will be working on this next week!

Changes to website.

I have made some exciting changes to the website www.wearmyhair.com. The homepage is now better and easier to navigate as the text and pictures and banners are set out in columns. This means that whatever screen size a viewer uses, they will be able to see the content at a glance and will only have to scroll down to view all of it. Before, the 'featured range' of wigs was at the bottom of the page meaning that it was probably often missed altogether.

Also, the Guys Stuff pictures have been redone with a brighter and less reflective background, which is a big improvement.

The Twitter widget is at the top of the homepage in the left column, again, making navigation better and easier.

Hair Salons


Today I toured round the hair salons in Cambridge, giving out special wear my hair cards that had text and images relevant to them. What I was suggesting to the salons is that when/if they get clients coming in with Alopecia or maybe hairloss from chemotherapy and asking about wigs, they can respond positively.

I can supply them with beautiful, hand painted mannequins and they can also buy one or two wigs and then they have a beautiful display which automatically informs clients that they can supply wigs to them.

I buy in bulk for my business, and all the products and colours are on the website, www.wearmyhair.com so they can buy for the salon direct from me or get the client to choose what they want from my website and bring it in for a fitting or whatever. So much better than turning the customer away!

Everybody wins! If you are a salon owner anyway, click on the link above and choose not to disappoint your customers! I know this makes sense because customers have told me that they have asked at their hairdresser and been told no, they don't have wigs. Change that fast!!!

Mannequins now back on the site!

Sorry folks! In case you noticed, the mannequins were missing from my site, www.wearmyhair.com. They are now up on the site and are a useful thing to hang your wig on at the end of the day. Of course, you can always buy one of the cute little bags which are also on the accessories page. They are ideal for storage and travel, and have a velcro fastening that will not snag the hair.

New products on www.wearmyhair.com



Cute little bags are now available to buy on the site, www.wearmyhair.com. They are good for storage and travel and the closure is with special velcro that doesn't snag the hair. They are funky and cool and made out of re-cycled pvc.

The Guys Stuff is selling already and I am just thrilled. I am thinking of altering the images to make them stand out more but I dont want them to be feminised so I have to balance quite carefully. I used a very bland backdrop for the photos in the hope that it would make them stand out, but it looks rather grey, kind of black and white tv look, which is not great. Also, the dark brown looks too similar to the almost black and I might be able to improve on that.

Hope to get some followers and some feedback soon.....please

How annoying is that! Today's Times Magazine has an article about hairloss and doesn't even mention wearing a wig as a solution. Well, it isn't really a solution is it, but then neither is wearing a turban or many other "solutions" that may work for some and may not for others.

Truth is, there is no real solution until the unlucky individual recovers. And, may I make that point here and now! I wish every single hairloss sufferer and speedy and full recovery. But, until that time, one very helpful possibility is a wig from http://www.wearmyhair.com. Visit the site now and you will find a great selection of wigs for gals and guys and some styles are quite unisex so have a good old browse and you are sure to find something suitable and something that will make you feel tons better.

If you don't, I want to hear from you and as soon as possible so that I can put that right straight away. I am very confident you will easily find something that will be just perfect.

for when Twitter is not enough!

Hello everybody. I am Joanna Holding and I run a fab webshop at www.wearmyhair.com. We sell wigs, hairpieces and extensions plus appropriate accessories. Designed with all those in mind who either dislike their own hair at all times, or have temporary issues with it.

Well, let me tell you right now that you no longer need to stress about it. Why not just get a wig and get a life. You can have whatever colour and style you like and you can just put it on like a hat and take it off at night.

No need to mess with anything else - it will almost certainly cost you a fortune and will not be anything like so easy. Wearing a wig might seem drastic, but it couldn't be simpler. In fact, there is nothing wrong with my hair except that I just dont like it, so I wear a wig nearly all the time, and I just love it. I can have long or short or somewhere in between and I trim the fringe when I feel it is a bit too long. It's great. It makes me feel in control.

To be truthful, my hair is quite difficult. It is extremely thick and quite wavy and it sits on my head like a hedge and I really hate it. Oh, and yes, I have done every straightening method known to man, including the Japanese Yuko method. Wow, that was expensive! About £300 for a cut, a colour and the straightening which lasted about 4 months even though they (the salon) claim it lasts for 6 months. The first time was quite good and I was pleased, but thereafter they used trainees and the results were nowhere near as good and they burnt my head!

I haven't looked back since I decided to buy my first wig and so I have created my own business to help provide a solution for others.

This week we have just launched our Guys Stuff pages. Really cool styles for guys who are very neglected in this field but often have just the same issues as women. The styles on the Guys Stuff pages are quite unisex really in that for women who want short layered styles, this range fits that bill.

Have a look at the site http://www.wearmyhair.com and post your comments please!
