Welcome to the Alternative Hair Alchemist Podcast! It’s a scary place to be in when you are losing your hair. There’s a lot of unnecessary shame and loneliness that can go along with it. Not to mention the overwhelm when you are trying to figure out what kind of replacement hair works for you.

I also know that it is overwhe ...

Long story short, I was pleasantly surprised by quality of the haul of wigs I purchased each for 12 USD or less! I think the least expensive one was 6 USD.

Back in 2017, practically nobody was using the term "alternative hair' for wigs and toppers. I deliberately chose that term to help change the perception of "wig" to become more acceptable. Words have power, and it worked to an extent! But, I got tired of explaining the term as I meant it: alternative hair is just that....an ALTERNATIVE to hair you…

There's a lot of different variables in your choices of wigs and toppers out there to consider when choosing your next wig or topper.

So the healthy thing to do is to acknowledge yo…
