I'm not entirely sure whether to put this in "Health" or "Fashion and beauty". We'll go with F&B as it's more an aesthetic question, even though there's the health side to it.
Okay I'm sick of my hair. In recent years it's gone so thin, and believe it or not I haven't had a haircut (aside from my fringe) in over 7 years, yet it's gone from mid-back-length, to chin length, all on its own!
It won't bloody grow.
So I've had lots of suggestions from people - check my iron levels, magnesium, B12, thyroids, wear a silk bonnet, and so on and so forth. I'm going to bring it up with the GP as soon as I get chance.
But in the meantime I bought a wig - it arrived yesterday. Honestly does it look okay, or does it look very obviously fake? It's synthetic, not human hair.
I want it to look as similar to my pre-thinning hair as possible. Do you think I need to take it to be styled by a hairdresser?
Suggestions / opinions / advice on the wig would be appreciated.
For reference:
Pic 1 is from 2016, when my hair was fine (fine as in there was nothing wrong with it - not fine as in thin).
Pic 2 is from a couple of weeks ago. You can see how thin and short it is now

Pics 3 and 4 are from me trying on the wig yesterday.
