I Tried Follea Wigs and Here’s My Honest Review
If you are considering a wig for hair loss, especially for the first time, you want to feel like yourself again. And if you’re here, reading this, you might be asking: Is a Follea wig really worth it? Can a Follea wig actually make me feel like me again?
We get that question a lot. So instead of answering it ourselves, we believe the best way to help you is to share the honest experience of someone who’s lived it.
Meet Jill, a real Daniel Alain customer who was diagnosed with alopecia at just 10 years old. Jill spent over two decades navigating the ups and downs of hair loss, until she discovered Follea wigs by Daniel Alain.
In this article, we’ll walk you through Jill’s personal journey, what she tried, what didn’t work, and why her Follea wigs changed everything for her.
If you’re researching wigs, trying to find a solution that feels right, or simply want to hear a real customer’s perspective, Jill’s story is an honest look at what it’s like to wear one of our wigs - and why she hasn’t worn anything else for the past 15 years.
Why I Chose Follea Wigs
When someone is living with alopecia, finding the right solution is about identity, comfort, and confidence. For Jill, that journey began when she was a child. Her parents were frantic to help and tried everything: “We tried shampoos, creams, shots… I was miserable.”
Her experience with wigs at the time was just as discouraging. “I went and tried on a very large blonde wig that felt like I was in costume,” she said. “I even tried a glue-on hair system and that was awful too.”
Jill spent years exploring options that never felt like her. That changed the day she discovered Follea wigs by Daniel Alain. At an event hosted by Daniel Alain retail partner, Nedia Hair Loss Specialist and Spa, she had her first real experience with a wig that restored her confidence.
“I tried on a Follea wig and it looked totally natural. It even moved naturally,” she said. More importantly, it made her feel like herself. “Even now, when I tell people this is a wig, they're shocked because it looks so good. I can even put it in a ponytail which never felt like a reality to me before.”
From the moment she put it on, Jill never looked back. “There hasn’t even been a question of wanting to try anything besides a Follea by Daniel Alain.”
The Follea Chic Wig Collection
Jill’s go-to wig, and the one that changed everything for her, is from our Follea Chic Collection.
What sets the Chic wig apart starts with the hair itself. Each piece is made from 100% premium European hair, known for its fine texture, natural movement, and soft, silky feel.
It features a 100% hand-tied cap, meaning each strand of hair is individually knotted by hand. This technique allows the hair to move freely and naturally, mimicking the way it would on your own scalp. It also provides maximum comfort and breathability - an essential feature for all-day, every day wear.
The Chic wig collection also has a skin top, designed to replicate the look of a natural scalp. This allows for parting the hair in multiple directions while maintaining a truly realistic appearance at the root. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that makes people say, “I had no idea that was a wig.”
What Makes Follea Wigs Different?
Not all wigs are created equal. And if you’ve worn one that didn’t fit well, didn’t move naturally, or didn’t reflect who you are, you already know that. What sets Follea wigs apart is how they make people feel.
For Jill, having a personalized consultation was key. “The consultant measured my head, allowed me to try on multiple styles and lengths, and made sure I was getting the proper size,” she shared. “You want to feel like you’re not wearing anything at all.”
Follea wigs are built for real life - working out, styling, and even roller coasters. Yes, really. “I’ve gone on several rides and it hasn’t fallen off. I’ve had both hands in the air, not worried about a thing.”
Our mission with Follea is to help women like Jill find the confidence to go about their lives without compromise. Whether it’s putting your hair up in a ponytail or simply walking into a room without second-guessing yourself, the right wig changes everything.
Jill summed it up best: “It just made me feel like myself.”
Jill’s Tips for Helping You Find Your Perfect Follea Wig
If there’s one thing Jill wants others to know, it’s this: the right wig is different for everybody. There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to something as personal as hair. That’s why her number one tip for anyone exploring Follea wigs or any other hair solution is to take your time and trust your instincts.
“Finding the right wig, particularly finding a Follea, means having a consultation with an expert,” Jill shared. She encourages looking for salons or retailers that make you feel seen and heard, not rushed.
A proper consultation matters. “A sign of a good place is they bring you to a private space where you feel comfortable talking about how you’re feeling and what you want to feel like.”
Here are a few tips Jill offers for finding the right wig:
-
Look for experienced professionals: Seek out salons that specialize in hair loss, not just general hair styling.
-
Expect a consultation, not a sales pitch: They’ll measure your head, let you try multiple styles and lengths, and make sure it fits like a glove.
-
Trust the process and your reflection: When you look in the mirror, you’ll know. You’ll feel like yourself, and you’ll see that on your face.
-
Be open to more than wigs: Wigs aren’t the only answer. There are toppers too. A good consultant will help you explore all your options.
Could Follea Wigs Be the Confidence Boost You’ve Been Looking For?
Jill’s story is one of trial, resilience, and ultimately, transformation. Like many who face hair loss, she spent years searching for something that helped her reconnect with who she truly is. And when she found Follea wigs, everything changed.
Whether you're just starting to explore hair loss solutions or have tried options that didn’t feel quite right, know that you’re not alone. There are wigs, and then there are Follea wigs.
Our wig collections are thoughtfully crafted to blend luxury with everyday practicality. Behind every Follea piece is a story of intentional design, hand-selected hair, and a commitment to authenticity. That’s something worth seeing for yourself.
And when you do, you might just discover, like Jill did, that a truly great wig is about bringing you back into focus.
