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.

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.

We recommend hair toppers for those who are in an early stage of hair thinning/hair loss and want to wear a piece that is the same color and length as their own hair. Think of hair toppers as extensions, but with more full coverage on top!
Hair topper tend to feel a little more cool than wigs because you’re not tucking all of your own hair away and the cap coverage is much smaller. This makes a hair topper the perfect piece for a summer day!
You can shop all hair toppers here!
On the other hand, wigs are best for those who either are bald, buzzed, or have advanced stages of hair thinning and hair loss. When wearing a wig, you tuck away all of your natural hair underneath and create a totally new look. A great choice if you want to wear hair that's a different color and/or length than your own hair!
When it comes to taking the plunge and getting your first hairpiece the price tag can be intimidating. We have a Resell program that lists lightly worn hairpieces at a discounted price. A great place to start for beginners!
If you’re still unsure of whether a wig or topper is right for you at this stage in your hair journey, here’s a quick guide!
Overall understanding your hair makeup and what you are looking for out of your hairpiece will narrow down what hairpiece is right for you!

“Being an East Asian woman usually comes with having long and thick black hair that you take for granted.
I’ve touched so many of my East Asian girlfriends’ ponytails that were 4x the thickness of my own and I always wondered why I got the short end of the stick.
I’ve always had thin, fine, and super soft hair growing up but never thought I’d lose what little I had in my 20’s.
It’s not always the case, but often Asian American culture tells you to not talk about your weaknesses. Female hair loss is taboo in general, but my cultural background has added more pressure to stay quiet, and in the process, stay alone in my hair loss journey.
There are SO many transformations and progress being made in Asian American history today, from more representation in media to louder activists who stand up for our rights and culture. We aren’t the invisible minority anymore and this also means talking more about all parts of us, our bodies, our dreams, our fears, and our weaknesses.
Hair loss isn’t something I’m embarrassed about anymore, especially because I’ve found a solution that works for me. I’ve found a community, including other Asian American women, who enable me to feel more confident and less alone.
It’s one step forward in creating a culture, for our world, to accept and love each other for all of who
we are” - Suran Yoo

“My relationship to my hair growing up was that it was an extension of my creativity. I was able to express my personal style by coloring and getting edgy cuts. As an Asian woman, beauty is deeply tied to our hair. I feel like that is the reason so many Asian women have long hair.
Once I started losing my hair I did not realize until I found people on Instagram that Asian women also experience hair loss. Wearing wigs as an Asian woman has been a freeing experience.”
2. Did you have any fashion of beauty influences growing up from Asian celebrities?
“In the 1980s I used to have a subscription to a Asian fashion magazine publication no longer available that featured only Asian models and stories about Asian Americans. I used to plaster them all over my wall as I was so hungry for any sort of Asian representation in the media. There were not many Asian people in Hollywood when I was growing up so I loved celebrities like Kelly Hu, Suchin Pak (MTV) and Kimora Lee Simmons (model) just to name a few.”
3. What would your dream hair be?
“My dream hair would be an asymmetrical, edgy hairstyle”

Interview conducted via Instagram DM on 5.4.22.
1. What was your relationship with your hair like growing up? Did you ever feel like an outcast or different from the people around you because of your hair?
“I’ve always had very thin hair growing up. It runs in the family and hair loss is one thing that is common within Asians. No matter what I did, from my diet or hair supplements, I couldn’t seem to find an answer to my hair. I just had to accept the fact of just working with what I have.
I do feel like an outcast at times, wondering if my appearance would change if my hair was up to standards. But I have to look at the positives of my hair, like how it holds curls very well and doesn’t get frizzy as much!”
2. Did you have any fashion of beauty influences growing up from Asian celebrities?
“I’ve recently noticed black hair looks good on me! Maybe it’s because I’ve always grew up with brown hair, I just wanted a change.
3. What would your dream hair be?
“My dream hair is not NOT LOSE ANY!!!! That or that it’s not heat sensitive!”

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.

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!
