Often, when I work with a serious full time client, one of the most important areas to work on…is their wig, hair. Many intend on a full transition, wearing a $90.00 synthetic wig, which they have worn for several years. However, with a full time transition it is very important to budget and save for this one important investment. Why spend thousands on facial surgery, to wear a rayon wig that screams WIG! This is the one accessory you will wear every time you walk out the door. Lets realize (even on a genetic woman) most can tell if she is wearing a bad wig. They are too thick, to curly, and they shine (since they are made of rayon which is the same texture as carpet).
If you prefer human hair wig, I send my clients to a quality wig “salon” not wig “shop” in San Francisco–Hanson Fontana. I have Hanson Fontana, prepare several colors of wigs, so you try on each color against your skin and eye tone. Each colored wig will not be cut…as they custom cut the style and shape on your head! When I am selecting a wig color for a client, I begin with adding in a thin layer of dark roots, next adding the lowest (darkest) color for your base color (your low light), which is close to the color of your eyebrows and lashes. The third color is highlights in ash, golden, or reddish blonde. These custom colored wigs look beautiful and natural. No one has one color of hair, so why would a wig?
Hanson Fontana uses Cyberhair, and the next blog, better explains why they use this type of hair in their wigs (and partials). If you’re coming to San Francisco to work with me on a private consultation, we can include a trip to Hanson Fontana.
Hair that moves in the wind, bounces when you walk!
I have so much to share with serious TG women, on other ideas on wigs–such as partials.
We are putting partial wigs, very light with NO cap on any bald or thin area, then growing out your sides and back and blending them together. This looks so natural, so light. Most stars (female) wear them all the time. It takes having a good salon, which will make one by hand, for your head, adding hair …in locations you do not have hair, and being sure…the color matches. You will have to decide on the color you want your hair, once we select the color to make your partial. Realize, most women have more hair than men. If you’re full time, don’t go with your own male hair, but have a partial made, and have a full head of hair. Partials simply lay on top with tape, no cap. Take on, take off. Easy and I have one I wear, when I want “big” hair!
