  1. I am also on Aromatase inhibitors and my hair was always very fine but now its thinning so much as well,and I am loosing my confidence.have been scammed by rewigs,but my bank has reclaim my money as I paid by my Visa card,which then paid to Paypal.I will never have a paypal account as its easier to get my bank to deal with such matters.stay well and happy.

  2. I knew it was one of the side effects but it was still a sadness when at first my hair only regrew very slowly and then thinned. I started with hair extensions then moved to a topper from Simply Wigs. havent looked back! 🙂

  3. Hi Sarah, I too am on aromatase inhibitors and I’m sure they have made my hair thinner!

  4. Hi I too am on these meds…I thought my hair was thinning. I have heard that they thin the hair?

  5. Hi Sally
    Thanks so much for your kind comments. This is my second husband and I feel blessed that we found each other.
    Love Steph x

  6. dear Stephanie,
    Thank you for the recommendation. There are so many lovely wigs at Simply Wigs that a personal recommendation is very helpful.
    Keep safe, keep lovely,
    Sarah ?

  7. Dear Teresa

    Thank you for sharing with me your favourite wig and the suggestion that I should try a new look which in time I definitely will when I feel more confident.

  8. Dear Sarah
    If and when you feel you need a full wig, do not hesitate as the modern cap constructions are very light and airy. I chose the Mono C after it being rated a 10 for comfort by the lovely team at Simply Wigs.
    Keep well
    Stephanie

  9. Hi Elizabeth
    Thank you so much. I feel like a new woman and instead of buying shoes and handbags I shall be buying wigs!
    Stephanie

  10. Hi Dee

    Thank so much for your lovely comments. Yes we cannot thank the team at Simply wigs enough.
    Stephanie

  11. As well as saying how lovely you look, could I also add how great it would be if Simply Wigs could provide me with a wonderful, supportive husband like yours too! Made me cry 🙂 x

  12. I was born bald so can only imagine how it must feel when your hair starts to thin or you lose your hair completely. You look truly lovely and the colour really suits you, I am so pleased that you have been given a boost to your confidence which is always great is’nt it ? I do understand why you picked a style you have worn for a long time as I had bobs for many years (Codi is one of my favourites). Who knows, in time, you may decide on another whole new beautiful look….there surely is plenty of choice! Wishing you all the very best, Teresa xxx

  13. Hi Karen
    Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate your comments and good wishes.
    The wig I am wearing is the Gisela Mayer High Tech C in light brown.
    I shall have a look at the Erica now.

  14. Yes my love, my life and world opened up with Simply Wigs, I have very little hair of my own but with my wig, I am now happy and confident. Its easier than visiting a hairdresser regularly, I have no regrets at all ?

  15. Stephanie, you look great. I have had the same issue after years of aromataze inhibitors. I chose the alternative of 2 toppers from Simply Wigs which gives me the fullness at the top and a choice of lengths so I can have a bob like yours or an updo. Plus it’s cooler in hot weather and, I think thanks to the medication, I do suffer in heat. But I look regularly at the wigs on offer because the choice is even wider and someday my thinning hair may be too sparse to support the clip on system.

  16. Thank you Sharon. You are so kind. The wig has given me such a confidence boost and I hope others like me who thought wigs did not look natural will take the plunge ?

  17. You look great Stephanie. The style really suits you and the colour is wonderful. You’d never guess it was a wig. I too wear bob wigs from Simply Wigs and have done for years – friends I might not have seen for a while are amazed it is a wig, they are so good these days!

  18. Truly wonderful look and colour really suits you. What a confidence boost….hurrahs to the team at Simply Wigs?

  19. Stephanie, firstly thank-you for sharing your story. I understand that feeling of confidence when someone pays you a compliment. Your ‘hair’ IS beautiful & you look amazing… & really happy. I hope you keep well & stay safe. X
    PS I wear a bob – Erika. What style are you wearing?

  20. Wow! You look wonderful, absolutely natural, perfect style and colour and yes it does make you look younger.
