EYE BROW WIGS

As the effects of chemo started to hit I was ok, I could cope with loosing my hair but loosing my eyebrows was another matter! I was hopeless at penciling them on, they always looked so fake and uneven.

Then one day a friend told me about these eyebrow wigs  - made of the left over real hair from wigs . I immediately went to see the beautician in Bondi and had some fitted  - WOW I felt fantastic they are SO clever, Real hair on a skin like back that is transparent once they are stiuck on you .  Four different colours to chhose from , glue adhesive and brows $100 and they last for as long as it takes for your eyebrows to grow back  - at least 3 months.

They stay for 3 - 4 days, then you just restick them  - it's so easy and no one ever guessed they were fake.  You don't even need them fitted you can just send away form them and stick them on yourself .

Interested  - call Sage Beauty in Bondi and speak to Junia  - tell her I sent you!

    @Kellee. I actually kept my eyebrows and eyelashes but lost the hair everywhere else. @Monique I love the eyebrow wigs what a fantastic idea!  I think I would struggle resticking them on again myself though I reckon I’d look like that woman in that Adam sandier movie where he plays a plastic surgeon. Lol!

    @Kellee Mine thinned and had patches that disappeared. They've come back but nowhere as full as they were before. :/

    Wow @Eli86 $5000. My daughter is a cosmetic tattooist and she charges $450 that includes a free touch up in 4-6 weeks. Unfortunately we are in Newcastle NSW. I haven’t started my chemo yet and eyebrows (losing) was concerning me. I’ll definitely be googling these stick ons as I hope my old ones grow back or better still stay right where they are

    OMG you have made my decade! Graves Disease claimed my brows years ago leaving me with just a handful of scraggly short hairs on each side and they will also be gone soon enough.  I even seriously contemplated paying $5000 for feather tattooing! This news is so great, it even rivals finding out today my sentinel modes were completely clear AND I don’t have either BRCA Gene AND findinding the cutest cat eye pillow for my Hospial stay on Friday. I’m so excited!!!!!

    @poodlejules @Sister I've been doing in Melbourne since they introduced the reuseable bags years ago. I have one of the insulated bags open and then all the others folded inside. I hang the bag of bags on a hook in the pantry. I also keep a smaller set in the boot of the car in case I get caught short, which isn't very often. Once the habit is established it's pretty easy!

    Mind you, getting my husband to remember them when he shops on the weekend is a whole other matter...
