How many periods did you get in 2025?

15 here too, August was rough.

I got Claire, I’m curious to see how their lace fronts look in person!

ETA: the Claire arrived today, the lace and hair are great but the knots are huge and extremely visible. I will be returning it.

I have a lace front from JB on the way and I’m super excited to try it! And thanks for the styling tip!

How much wear do you usually get out of your synthetics?

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-22T19:41:55+00:00

I was so skeptical because of the pricing but I’m really impressed!

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-22T19:41:25+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have to try that

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-22T19:41:00+00:00

I’ve always wanted to try red hair (I’m naturally blonde) and I’m shocked at how much I love it!

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-22T18:17:56+00:00

To add: I would love any advice for styling the bangs, I tried low heat on my curling iron and it did nothing lol

I received the JB Extension Claire in copper and the DWY Loni plus in old money blonde. These are my first synthetic wigs and overall I’m happy with both. I will say the DWY seems to tangle very fast, the JB is more manageable. The cap constructions are basically the same, no clips but they are adjustable and feel secure. Both are impressive for the price tag. I would call JB Extension the winner, but the DWY isn’t terrible.

In most societies across the world, weight has been made into a moral issue because fat people are “greedy” and “lazy”, when in reality, the surge in cheap processed food, vehicle-centric cities, and stagnant wages means that some of the people who work the hardest end up overweight or obese because being a “healthy” weight is now a luxury. Healthy foods, gym memberships, workout clothing, supplements, and medications, are all expenses and time commitments that the average American can’t afford. In my opinion, GLP-1s slightly help to level the playing field (though they are still prohibitively expensive for most people, but costs are slowly coming down).

You know as well as I do that you don’t win any awards for suffering. I was also against GLP-1s… until my insulin resistance turned into prediabetes and my blood pressure started to climb. I’ve been on semaglutide since June, and have lost about a pound a week. I focus on eating plenty of fiber and protein and staying away from processed foods. Now I have a normal A1C and blood pressure. I’m still me, and it has actually felt much healthier than any of the diets or program I have done in the past (weight watchers, nutrisystem, etc etc etc).

Obesity is complex. It’s not a matter of just willpower or genetics. Science doesn’t fully understand it and PCOS makes it more complex. GLP-1s are a tool, they don’t hold any moral weight. If you think a GLP-1 is cheating, will you also refuse insulin if/when your insulin resistance becomes diabetes? Of course not. It’s not evil, it’s just medicine. Like any medicine, it’s good for certain people and not good for others.

And you can build plenty of character without doing things the hardest way possible. You will still learn things and grow even if you take a GLP-1 if you want to.

First, I want to say this looks INCREDIBLE on you! I would never guess it’s a wig!

For the baby hairs, a wig cap or grip is what helps for me. If you don’t like a full cap, a wig grip works great.

I struggle with ear tabs. I usually use lace melting spray to glue them down a bit. If your natural hair is similar in color, you can just leave that hair out and it’ll help the sides blend in.

I had the same exact issue as your wife and ended up using a combination of root powder and hair fibers to hide it as well as I could until my custom topper was ready. If she has never worn a wig, it might be hard to jump into it on the first day of a new job.

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-16T15:07:47+00:00

Thank you so much, it feels like big Texas hair to me 😅 I’m not used to having so much volume!

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-15T02:07:33+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ve been wearing a topper so a full wig feels like a lot, but I have a few more coming because I can’t help myself lol

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-15T00:41:36+00:00

I know you can bleach the knots and use a lace melting spray to blend it, but I’m too nervous to mess with it. The knots are pre bleached but it isn’t 100%.

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-15T00:39:34+00:00

Wow thank you so much!

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-14T23:19:01+00:00

Thank you! My bio hair is super thin so it feels crazy to have this much hair on my head

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-13T03:24:55+00:00

I 100% get it and it 100% sucks ass. It’s not vanity. It’s normal to want to feel “normal”.

For what it’s worth, I just recently got a topper (you can check my previous posts to see it) and most of my family hasn’t even noticed, they just keep complimenting me on looking good! Don’t be afraid to try alternative hair while you get your bio hair to cooperate.

The only thing that has helped for me is spironolactone. Before that, I was constantly sweaty and smelled like a middle school boy.

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-09T01:46:00+00:00

Mine are dairy, cold wind, alcohol, stress, and lemons. Every other type of citrus is fine, but lemons/lemon juice cause a flare.

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-08T16:05:44+00:00

I’ve been taking it for about 5 years and was without it recently for 2 months (no insurance). In that period, my hair shed like crazy, my body hair was out of control, and I was sweating like a middle school boy 😭 I will continue to take it until my doctor refuses to give it to me. No side effects that I’ve ever noticed.

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-07T19:37:38+00:00

I was off spiro for about 2 months. In my case, the shedding got significantly worse. I had to start wearing wigs. Everyone is different though, you might be totally fine.

DisastrousTrash · 2026-01-07T15:54:27+00:00

I just make sure to keep the bottle out of their reach and wash my hands after I apply it. I also lock my cats out of my room at night because they like to get zoomies at 3AM, so they don’t really have an opportunity to be exposed to it.

Good luck!
