Tell us a little about yourself

My name is Cristina, I am 36 and I live in Toledo, Spain, with Lola, a beautiful and naughty 3 years-old bunny. I am a nurse and I take care of sick people in a hospital in my city. I started losing my hair when I was 14, with the onset of puberty. My parents found out before me and we went to a dermatologist who diagnosed me with androgenetic alopecia. I started taking birth control pills to stop the fall at 18. And I stopped taking them last October because I looked worse than ever. The treatment was not working and I was afraid of the side effects. So, I decided to leave it, accept my situation and look for effective solutions to regain my self-esteem.

My boyfriend helped me a lot in the self-acceptance process. He was very patient with me because it was a difficult situation for both of us.

Through the Internet and social networks, I have discovered that I am not alone, that it doesn't just happen to me. This has been really good for me.

My family and friends have been my main support. Without them I wouldn't have made it.

How long have you been wearing wigs and Jon Renau for?

I bought my first wig in October 2017, in a store where I tried different brands. I chose Jon Renau because it was very comfortable and easy to wear. Very natural and practical for everyday use. The Victoria model adapted perfectly to my needs, and the color 24BT18 is wonderful.

What advice would you give to a new alternative hair wearer?

My humble advice to someone who is starting to wear a wig is to first find out online about the opinions of people who wear wigs. If you can go to a store to try them on, so much the better. I would also advise you to visit blogs and social networks for real stories. This has helped me a lot.

What do you love about our brand?

There's a lot of things I like about Jon Renau. They are very easy to put on and take off. In half a minute you're ready to go out on the street, go to work, anywhere. If it's a synthetic wig, you're always perfectly groomed. And if it is natural hair, it can be combed very easily with the advantage of being able to do a different hairstyle every day. The variety of colors is incredible. I don't know any other brand with this quantity. Blond, copper, red, brown… a dream come true!

Another great advantage of the Jon Renau brand is that it has washing and conditioning products for every type of hair. Whether synthetic, synthetic HD or natural hair.

And its natural look is fantastic. You don't look like you're wearing a helmet.

It's definitely the best brand I know of.
