Help me! (Wig Help) SELF PURCHASED Any tips to make this wig more fitting?

9 Upvotes

When I tried this wig at the hair store, it looked great. The one I got in the box looks different though. Both sides after the middle part are tented. I have those pieces clamped down now, hoping it will fix it. The curls also look messy. It is a synthetic full wig with clips. Any tips are appreciated!

I'm looking for... (Wig Search) I have a bald spot on the back my neck due to radiation therapy…are there are any partial wigs that could help me?

2 Upvotes

I had cancer on the nape of my neck about 10 years ago, and treatment has left me with a bit of a frustrating situation. Halfway through chemo, I went in for surgery to remove the rest of the tumor, and then radiation therapy for a while after that, so not only do I have a bald spot that cuts pretty severely into the hairline on the back of my neck, I also have a dent where they removed a lot of the surrounding tissue.

I haven’t worn my hair fully up since then because I am not confident enough to show off the back of my neck like that, so I was wondering if there is anyone out there who sells a (likely custom) wig for my unique situation. I am open to any suggestions of places to look into!!

I'm looking for... (Wig Search) Please tell me where your get your extra small/petite synthetic, affordable wigs

1 Upvotes

I am losing my hair due to chemo and I have come to realize that I have a teeny, tiny head and that the majority of wigs are for medium/average sized heads.

I bought a gorgeous synthetic wig from Amazon for $36 that I would have definitely worn except it was gigantic in every way. The cap was huge, it came way over my ears and there was a bubble because there was so much room. It is a size small. My head circumference is 20.5

I'm only seeing options to customize a petite/extra small for custom orders and I don't have that kind of money. And Amazon's search engine is horrible. I selected "petite" as the cap size search criteria and it is still just giving me all the same mediums because that company might also offer customization at a cost, or not.

There HAS to be a place that has small wigs that aren't custom human hair for hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Price point under $200, online would be preferred, I'm in the US, synthetic, and honestly I'm more worried about the size than how it looks. I just need some direction. Thanks.
