You can help too! Buy and donate an Especially
Yours® wig and help us reach our 2008 target of
500 wigs!
For more than twenty-five years Especially Yours® has provided
African American women in the US and Canada with the best value in
fashion wigs, hair pieces and hair extensions. Its free monthly catalog
and website (www.EspeciallyYours.com)
offer a large selection of fashionable and stunning styles in popular
colors. Especially Yours® is
also the company behind the "Patti LaBelle Collection"
(www.PattiLaBelleWigs.com),
the new and best selling exclusive line of premium wigs and pieces
designed by Ms. LaBelle herself!
Especially Yours® customers include women with cancer, who are
experiencing severe to complete temporary hair loss caused by chemotherapy,
who appreciate the beauty and comfort of all the products from Especially
Yours®. Some opt for styles and colors that match their
natural hair, while others take the opportunity to experiment with
a new look. Determined to improve and increase the types of products
available for these women, the Especially Yours® catalog and
website have pioneered many special new features in their wigs.
For instance:
(1) The amazing ‘SOFTouch®’ technology,
which is exclusive to Especially Yours®. SOFTouch®
is a lightweight, breathable, non-allergenic, silicone-like gel
material developed by medical professionals. This innovative material
allows the wig to fit securely and comfortably on the head –
without tape or glue. For the ultimate in comfort and security,
SOFTouch® cushions the scalp with soft, breathable
comfort.
(2) The amazing WhisperLite Fiber, an ultra-fine,
lightweight fiber that delivers an exceptionally extra-light head
of hair.
(3) ‘Open Cap Construction’, where
a lesser volume of material is used in making the wig cap, so that
it is incredibly lightweight for cool, breathable comfort.
(4) ‘Thin Wefting’. This is where each
weft of hair uses a single thread and fiber, instead of two as in
traditional wigs. The result is a far lighter, cooler wig.
(5) ‘Hand-Tied Hairlines’ are used
to deliver a natural-looking hairline. This involves the tying,
by hand, of baby-fine hairs or fibers to the front of the wig.
In addition, Especially Yours® has also been the first
to introduce different hair alternatives including ‘caps-with-hair’
where the hair forms a fringe at the front, pony tail at the back
or loose hair around the sides; special scarves, turbans, and detachable
fringes that can be worn with any cap, scarf or turban!
