I have been a hair puller since I was 10. My mother was an alcoholic throughout my childhood which I believe is what triggered my pulling.

Anyway, I am now 40 & have worn a full wig since I was 17. My hair is also in horrible condition (white & brittle), but I don't have enough anymore so that I could never go without my wig. Since I don't have any real hair anymore, I just shave my head so I can attach my wig with toupee tape.

You should look into a wig shop that caters to cancer patients. The stylists there will help you with fitting, etcetera. I've been working with the same stylist since I was 18 and she's wonderful.

A wig shop that caters to cancer patients should have any supplies you need or you can even order them on Amazon. Usually, that's where I get my tape because it's only $3-4 a pack versus the $7-8 at the wig shop. Also, the curved individual pieces of tape seem to work the best. I prefer that over the roll of tape.

Hope that helps.
