The Leo Collection - Human Hair Lace Front Wigs
Our Leo Collection wigs feature lightly bleached knots and an extremely natural looking plucked hairline with a realistic shape. The Leo hairlines have been a fan favorite since we launched!
Along with the natural hairlines, the Leo pieces have ear to ear lace that goes all the way down to the sideburn area, or a lace ear tab, if you will.
If you have a shaved head, want to change your hair color completely or you’re someone who loves to do fun hairdos - this feature was made for you!
The Leo wigs are made with Indian hair that dries slightly wavy and has a very fine and super soft texture (usually feels a little more fluffy compared to Brazilian hair).

The Virgo Collection - Human Hair Lace Front Wigs
The Virgo Collection wigs feature 100% single tied knots throughout the entire lace area giving an ultra natural looking hairline - a truly luxurious feature! A single tied knot not only means that the hair looks natural, but the movability is endless.
In comparison to the Leo Collection wigs, the Virgo wigs still feature ear to ear lace, however it ends at the top of the ear area and there are structured ear tabs.
Made with Brazilian hair, the Virgo wigs are sleek, soft and have a super flat lay that you’ll dream about.

The Capricorn Collection - Human Hair Silk Toppers
The Capricorn silk hair toppers feature hybrid wefting that has the strength of wefts but the lightness of a hand-tied back. If you want to blend your natural hair in with your hairpiece, a silk topper is the way to go!
With the attention to detail at the seam for a natural looking blend, the ultra thin silk top will lay flat against your head.
The Pieces Collection - Human Hair Mono Toppers
The Pieces Collection feature an entirely hand-tied monofilament top that enables multi-directional parting and a natural feel.
If you’re someone who loves volume in your hair, or your hair just needs a little extra boost at the crown, the Pieces mono tops are perfect for you.
In comparison to the Capricorn Silk Toppers which have the average topper sizing, like an 8x8, the Pisces mono toppers have smaller base sizes like a 3x5 or a 5x6.
If you’re worried about wearing hairpieces, a mono topper is a great place to start! Not too much, not too little, just the right amount of coverage with a lightweight easy to wear construction!

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hi! I’m Lacie Rodriguez! I’m from a tiny town in rural Utah and married to a cowboy from Mexico. We have three beautiful kids and speak both English and Spanish in our home.
I love talking to women about beauty and confidence, especially when it comes to hair loss.

When were you diagnosed with androgenic alopecia? What was that like?
I was 19 when I had my first major shed. I was in college and it was one of the darkest times in my life.
I felt totally alone and doctors dismissed my hair loss every single time I brought it up saying it was “just stress.” Trying to go to school and work everyday and have a social life while dealing with a crippling lack of self confidence was almost too much for me to take. I don’t know for sure, but I think I can pinpoint this time in my life as the trigger that started my androgenic alopecia.
I wasn’t officially diagnosed until after having my first child when the doctor said, “It’s just female pattern baldness. It’s not coming back.” I was devastated. I felt like I was the only woman I knew of that was struggling with this. I felt incredibly powerless to stop it or fix it. I couldn’t believe it when he told me there was no cure. I thought “of all the scientific breakthroughs we’ve had in the last 100 years, there’s really still no cure for hair loss?!” It was a dark time for me emotionally and my self esteem was at an all time low.

How did you find wigs & hair toppers?
Every once in a while I’d get a wild hair and research my brains out on the internet for hair loss solutions. My stylist was trying to convince me to get tape in extensions but I kept explaining that it wasn’t going to give me the coverage where I needed it.
At one point I came across an integration system that looked promising but it was extremely expensive and I would have to travel 5 hours to a swanky salon in Las Vegas. It didn’t seem realistic. Then I came across a YouTube video about a “hair extension topper” and I was like, “WAIT! That’s what I need!” So I jumped on it and ordered it, with no idea how it was going to turn out!
After some customizing and lots of practice styling it, blending it, etc, I knew this was going to be my forever solution!

Top piece of advice for people first entering their hair loss journey?
You’re not a freak of nature! That’s how I felt. I had no idea that more than half of women will experience significant hair loss in their lifetime.
It’s a process and you can’t rush it or shame yourself for feeling any which way. You just have to hold onto the hope that one day, you’ll come out of this fog and embrace the fact that there are options to dealing with this. You can still be beautiful and feminine and live a full life with alopecia.
My hair is literally one of the last things on my mind these days and I NEVER thought that could be a possibility.

What do your children think about your hair loss and wearing hair pieces? Did you have a conversation with them about it and how did that go?
When I got my first piece my first two kids were 3 and 6. I wore it for them and they laughed a little because it seemed a little like a costume. But I laughed with them and then they saw me putting it on everyday and it’s just normal to them now.
They’re 11 and 8 now and my baby is 2 and they’re always offering their opinion on new pieces. I’m confident that if either of my girls lose hair in the future, they’ll already have an idea of how to deal with it. That makes me super happy!
I’ve had a hard time with my hair loss for sure but I try to keep it in perspective for their sake. I don’t want to give them the impression that your life is over if your hair falls out. Secretly I’m super jealous of my girls’ hair lol! I tell them it’s beautiful but I never obsess over it and try not to make them feel like their hair is their identity. That’s really important to me.

When did you start posting about your hair loss online? How has the response been?
When I got my first topper I was already posting online about beauty and things. I knew toppers could be a game changer for some people but I thought it wouldn’t be that many. I figured I could talk about it and hopefully it could help someone. I was blown away by how many people started sending me messages and asking about it.
Over the years my hair loss has progressed and I’ve morphed my platform into a hair loss and alternative hair niche. Now this is what I focus on primarily and the growth has been tremendous because there are so many more women out there struggling with this than I ever thought possible!
I’m committed to ending the stigmas of both female hair loss and wearing alternative hair and hoping to bring many new people into this community. I think it can be very healing to find people going through similar experiences.

What’s the last TV show you’ve binged?
Oh gosh! I’m not much of a TV person (I prefer movies) but I really loved New Girl when it first came out and I watched it while nursing my second baby! I’ve missed all the new seasons lol

How is it living in a super small town with no traffic lights? Do you ever crave the “big city” life?
I actually LOVE living in a small town. It can be frustrating to be this far from amenities and resources but the city can give me anxiety after a bit.
I love to visit and eat at a nice restaurant, shop, etc but I’m always ready to come home to the calm. No traffic lights means very little traffic and that’s how I prefer it.
--
Current hair trend you love?
I’m obsessed with curtain bangs! Almost every single piece I own has them lol! I think they’re flattering on literally everyone if you get the right length and they keep your hair out of your face.

If you could only have one dessert for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Coconut ice cream. Hands down. It’s my favorite in Mexico!

The Silk or Lace team went to The Hair Mama’s brand new studio in Colleyville, Texas to show you what an in person consultation is like.
After finding The Hair Mamas’s page online she fell in love with the company and the founder, Tahnee’s, energy and positivity. It has been a dream of hers to meet Tahnee and try on some of The Hair Mama’s wigs.
Upon entering the studio Morgan was able to have a special moment to meet Tahnee and her team. They discussed what kind of wig style Morgan enjoys including, hair color, length, density and cap construction.
After discussing the details, the Hair Mama team went to work pulling pieces from their inventory that fit Morgan’s description and they knew she would love.
Something unique about The Hair Mama’s services, is that they can customize anything a client wants on their wig. The clips can be removed, they can add a silicone nape, ear tabs, a new top, etc.
It is important to the Hair Mama that they can make their pieces specific to the customer to provide the best wig for them!
Silk illusion is a special name The Hair Mama came up with to describe a piece that has a single layer of lace with a silk over lining that shows through like a silk top.
This combination creates the perfect in between, giving the realistic scalp look that a silk top gives and the sleek hairline that a lace top/front gives.
Morgan had only ever tried one kind of wig before – a lace top. When trying on the silk illusion she was shocked.
“Oh my gosh, it feels so good on my head. I’m speechless”
The gripper wig has a silicone lining inside that is made to help grip on to bare skin, or thinning hair. Since Morgan has no hair, this was quite a new experience for her having only worn lace before.
“I love it. It feels cooling on my head”
While wearing The Hair Mama’s new wig grip, the wig bestie, and wearing a gripper wig, Morgan was able to hair flip her way around the studio with no movement from her wig at all!
Again, Morgan was speechless. All she could do was drop her jaw at the gorgeous hairline, the movability of the hair and the rich chocolate brown color.
If you find a wig that fits you perfectly and is comfortable, the confidence will shine through!
On the subject, the founder Tahnee said,
“I tell people during consultations…not to get hung up on the blondes…that’s the easy part. Finding the cap is the hardest part”
“I like the first one the best [Valentina]. Oh my gosh, yes. She’s the one!”
After choosing her piece, the team cut the lace for her and let her try on her final product. It was a moment full of raw emotion and utter gratitude. Morgan shed tears and said,
“I love it so much, I did not expect this at all. It’s seriously so beautiful. It feels more like me than the ones that I’ve been buying for the past two years”
With a consultation, either in person or online, you can get the guidance you need to make that moment happen!
