Hi Benno,
I won't move. You can tug on it all you want. If you were to lift it up from both sides, you would break the suction and take it off which is basically what I do to remove it but if you just tug down on the hair, it won't move at all. Cool huh??

Does sound cool. I've got one of those lace ones at the moment which I never wear, because it's summer and it just looks so shitty. I think i'd rather people know I have alopecia than to wear a wig.
For some reason wig's are a controversial thing for a teen to wear. Are they expensive? Can you change the style?

Everyone knows I have AU. I don't try to hide it. I just like having hair that is pretty and moves normally. I think of it as a fashion statement. In the morning, I figure out what I've going to wear, then pic the 'hair' that looks the best with that outfit!! If I'm working in the garden in the summer, I just wear a do rag or a baseball cap. I'll take my hair off anytime to show people my tattoos! Where do you live that it is summer now? The wigs are from New Zealand.

P.S. They are rather expensive. They cost between $2700 and $4000 depending on the length. They last from 3 to 5 years though. Yes, you can change the style. I wear my long one up or in a ponytail.
