Buying a hair piece ~ Everything you need to know 

Georgina Probert has female pattern alopecia, having had thinning hair since her teen years. She experienced Telogen Effluvium after the births of both her children, and her density has never returned. She began wearing toppers 9 years ago, and now offers consultations and fittings for hair toppers and wigs. She thinks it's important to try on lots of different types of wig to make sure you choose the best one for you.

We talk about cap sizes, how to measure and get a good fit, how to know if you are buying a legitimate brand and hair type, and that you are not being taken advantage of.

Georgina shares how she has even had customers who have been sold wigs as human hair, which have turned out not to be.

We also look at Remy hair- what is it? What is the difference? Why should you know where your hair is sourced and has the hair come from multiple sources?

Georgina also shares her tips on how & where you should get your hairpiece cut or coloured, and how to plan for if it goes wrong!
