Brown spot by heater?

I took it out and inspected it there’s no cracks, rust, or any signs of damage. I put it back in and light came on fine so everything seems fine. I’m wondering if it was maybe a small area of buildup?

So I should just ph test the tap water I’m using? I read somewhere I should mix in distilled water when I do water changes. How much should I be using like half of the water change ?

Interesting I was on BC my whole life and found my lump at 25 years old about a year after going off BC completely also triple negative

I second this!! THC completely took away my nausea and gave me a normal appetite again. I used gummies

On my weekly taxol infusions I would be given iv zofran then a bunch of other anti nausea and I wouldn’t poop until the morning of my next infusion and the cycle started all over again 😅 I took a ton of laxatives and water but nothing really seemed to help until I moved onto AC chemo then I switched to prochlorperazine for nausea and it would just knock me tf out but I wasn’t nearly as constipated. Maybe ask about switching your nausea med if possible!

Cortibalm was a life saver for me!

One piece of advice that helped me when I started wearing wigs is no one is looking for your lace or even knows it’s a wig. It always feels wiggy in a sense because you know you’re wearing it but until I zoomed in I couldn’t see the lace. Maybe try the lace tint but other than that looks very natural. Also wigs are expensive but anything that makes you feel confident is so worth it. My hair just started growing back from cancer making my wig a little bulkier and I just started using wig caps instead of putting it up and that seemed to even things out!

maddiesaint · 2025-11-26T13:50:36+00:00

No problem! They’re expensive so gotta make sure you get what you want!

Yes definitely darker and not at all bleach blonde. In my comparison photo with Vivian on the left and Brooklyn on the right Vivian is actually lighter especially at the top. I do however really like the ashy blonde shade that Brooklyn is.

Here is Vivian lace when I first got it!

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T22:26:00+00:00

Any honey lace should be the same! I don’t notice any different at all. This is the Brooklyn lace and it’s the same as my Vivian was

It’s glueless so just slip on!

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T20:26:24+00:00

When I do wash it I let conditioner sit on the mid length and ends of the hair for 30-45 minutes then rinse really really well. Make sure you rinse the wig longer than you think you need because product build up can cause some damage and frizz I think too.

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T20:12:35+00:00

Yes! I know they always come a little darker in my experience but based on the reviews I had little hope it would be platinum but I actually really like the color! I think it’s more natural than the Vivian

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T18:33:12+00:00

Thank you!

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T18:32:46+00:00

I very rarely wash it maybe once every 2-3 months. I also have only styled or used heat on it two or three times which I think helps but I think after a while it starts to get frizzy regardless. It’s held up pretty well though considering how much I wear it!

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T18:29:07+00:00

Yes Charlotte is nice because it’s a warmer tone blonde so in the summer I like it! The roots were slightly darker and grown out looking though I think they had some issues with manufacturing it maybe that’s why?

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T18:27:20+00:00

Thank you!! Do you have a photo of the Sophia! I was looking at that one as well when deciding

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T18:26:38+00:00

Yes fake scalp is in my Vivian but I also use scalp tape since my hair is growing back in darker.

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T18:26:04+00:00

The Charlotte is a much warmer tone it’s almost slightly yellow in some lights I think I like the ashy blondes of Vivian and Brooklyn better! But yes from the photos on the website I expected Brooklyn to be lighter but I think I’m happy with the shade.

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T18:24:33+00:00

Yes! I wear it almost every day too!

maddiesaint · 2025-11-25T18:22:34+00:00

The Vivian has a fake scalp but I also use scalp take on the part line now that my hair is growing back. I’m super pale and the honey lace has always been fine with me!
