Luxury in human hair has arrived with the launch of the "Reimagined Human hair," collection by Jon Renau. 4 styles from the leaders in medical hair loss and wig production.
We are so excited to see the new cap of Layla, and the expansion of the (double mono) mono top hand tied cap collection. Thank you Jon Renau....
]]>
So let's talk about the cap styles! Three of these styles (Brandy, Phoenix, Colbie) are on a fully hand tied cap with double monofilament top. This is such a gorgeous cap and very good for those with sensitive scalps. This is just a lovely change from the hand tied smartlace cap. We shall insert the diagram of the cap for you here - if you are irritated by the welded lace fronts, these three may be a good option for you!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
The French knotted top is THE EPITOME OF NATURAL in wigs. The hair is secured to Swiss lace after passing through a layer of glass silk. There is also a layer of glass silk below the lace.
The cap on Layla has closed wefts. WE LOVE THIS! This gives the hair so much more security on the cap and reduces the risk of shedding whilst ensuring maximal comfort to the wearer - it feels like a hand tied cap (also behaves well like one for fancy updos).
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Layla's cap is what truly makes her stand out to us. The most natural in a cap we have ever seen. If you are someone who is worried about your wigs being noticed due to dark knots on the hair line - this wee amazing style could be the answer to your prayers!
Jon Renau have crafted this luxurious and natural finish that is the highest level of workmanship we have seen. The French knotted silk top transitions to swisss lace front, and the closed wefts ensure no skin irritation from hairs poking through - this is especially important to those with sensitive scalps with alopecia, and those we painful scalps following chemotherapy.
The Layla wig is the only wig that we see currently on this cap, but we hope that Jon Renau will make more of these, as this is a special launch and we would go as far as to say the best cap in the market at present. No obvious return hairs or flyaway spikes, natural density and hair that feels like silk even after multiple washes, and even after being left to air dry. (you Should style your wig and blow dry rather than allow to air dry, but we had to run the test to assess this hair quality).
We were excited with the expansion to the Jon Renau European wigs in store. However, this Chinese Remy hair is by far our favourite hair and it is so silky soft and top quality! Thank you Jon Renau!
We have a photo of Michelle wearing this style in shade 12FS8 and shade 4. We will be sure to add more photos of this in more colours over time. This is currently the wig we rate to be the best across all brands for quality, value for money, natural look and premium hair. HIGHLY recommended!
Thanks Jon Renau! Guys, you can SEE LAYLA HERE
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
The next gorgeous style we have is PHOENIX by Jon Renau - a mid / long length human hair Chinese Remy style on the Double Mono Hand Tied Jon Renau cap.
Another amazing new addition to the human hair range, and once again in the new premium hair quality - we are most definitely in love.
Michelle has this in the blonde shade 14/88H and has custom coloured this to a vibrant orange - it is a gorgeous style.
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Our next amazing style is the beautiful COLBIE. If you are a lover of shoulder length / below chin type lengths, this is for you!
This is very similar in style to the Carrie wig, but with a gorgeous Double Mono hand tied cap. Colbie is luxury and the silky smooth hair is unrivalled.
We are pretty sure she will sell out soon after launch, so we are very excited to get our preorder in and try to snap one of these up.
We have inserted a photo of then beautiful Tamara wearing the 12FS12 • Malibu Blonde shade. Truly Stunning!!!!
]]>This is a quick step guide that should answer "HOW DO I WASH MY WIG?"
hope this helps girlies and guys -
all my love, Michelle
x
]]>SYNTHETIC HAIR CARE
Remove Tangles with your Jon Renau Wide Tooth Comb
• Gently run tepid water over the hair
• Most conditioners are “pump spray” conditioners (like the Estetica Designs or Jon Renau conditioning sprays)
You should wash your standard synthetic wig around once every 6-8 wears.
Hey Girlies and Guys!
At MiMo we are often asked about why we do not accept wigs / toppers / hairpieces and headwear as a return and feel this is a GREAT question, and a great topic of conversation.
We can not speak for any other company, however we do want to clarify our position in accordance with UK law - as well as giving some information / examples.
We also want to answer some of the most commonly asked questions around the matter and "debunk," some myths surrounding this topic.
*************************
Q. Why can you not accept back a wig / headwear / hairpiece back when other companies do?
A. We can not speak for any other companies, only for our own policies and advice given to us by UK based solicitors.
Q. Is this a new policy due to COVID-19?
A. No, this is not at all related to COVID-19, and this has always been our policy since launch. Viral particles require living organisms to thrive, so COVID-19 is not as high a risk of contagion as fungal infections (ie. ringworm)
Q. Why can clothing companies accept returns on items (often including) fashion wigs but MiMo can not accept returns on wigs or headwear?
A. It is important to note that the items we sell are medical grade. The purpose of these goods is for medical use. As such, it is imperative that we understand the clientele and ensure that our products are "fit for purpose" and safe.
Q. If I buy online I should be covered by the consumer contracts act and therefore I know I can return all online purchases - is this correct?
A. The consumer contracts act governs all purchases. Regarding the automatically permitting returns is incorrect when pertaining to items covered by health protection and hygeine legislature. UK Law prevents the return and resell of these items. (YOU CAN READ ABOUT THE UK LEGISLATION HERE)
Q. Why can companies accept clothing but you will not accept a medical wig / topper / item of headwear
A. The hairpieces and headwear that we sell is intended to be for medical purposes (regardless of why you buy it yourself). As such, the law applies.
Q. Why can you not seal the items inside a plastic wrap to ensure a hygiene seal and allow customers to view the colour in advance before return?
A. This is a great question, and this was something that we had investigated in the past. Unfortunately, the sealing of hairpieces in a plastic wrap compromises the integrity of the product for hairpieces, and so the outer packaging is considered to be the "hygeine seal"
Q. Does this affect my statutory rights?
A. Absolutely not. Your statutory rights are always protected.
Q. Could you not wash the wigs and steam them when they are returned to allow you to resell?
A. Whilst high heat steam sterilisation can destroy fungal spores....... to wash the hairpieces and then perform this repeatedly would render the product less in quality than it should be when new - particularly when the wig could potentially be resold numerous times. The integrity of the product is compromised when any hairpiece is washed and steamed over and over.
Q. I have never worn a wig and I want to try wigs on, is there a way to safely do this?
A. It is possible to "decontaminate," wigs and this is something that we always do if we have consultation with clients. If we have any client who comes to us for the purposes of trying on wigs, then we have stock that is purely for try on purposes. For this to be done safely, we do wash and steam each hair piece, then we will use a bactericidal / fungicidal solution. This does compromise the integrity of the hairpiece. However, this something that we choose to do - we choose to maintain a stock level of try on items to allow people to safely try on items prior to purchase.
If ever you do wish to try on stock - we are more than happy to answer any questions you. may have and to help put your mind at ease when it comes to safety concerns that you may have. We will always encourage you to ensure you are 100% happy prior to any purchase.
We do understand that it is such a difficult world to navigate when entering in to alternative hair wearing. We will always do everything within our power to make sure the process is a seamless for you as practicable possible whilst safe and in accordance with legislation.
Please just get in touch if you have questions for us.
Stay safe, keep sparkling, and be your very own beautiful
The MiMo Team

Hey beautiful!
So You have spent money on your new hair, and invested in the product that you believe is going to help you feel most like you.
Care of your item matters. Using the wrong brush can result in shedding and balding of your beautiful new topper or wig, and this is absolutely devastating and heart breaking.
So here is a little guide to help......
]]>BRUSHES • DO THEY MATTER?
WIG BRUSH TYPE MATTERS - ALWAYS!
There is more to caring for your wig or topper than just brushing...... we do have guides on the care of your wig and topper based upon hair type, and you can read these within the blogs section.
DOES BRUSHING MATTER?
So the topic of "HOW" to brush is always a really interesting one. I, myself, never had advice on this from anyone when entering the world of alternative hair. As a result, I trashed many wigs and blamed the wig quality when I was oblivious to the fact - it was my mishandling - absolutely unintentional, but something like a brush or a care product - these things matter immensely.
It was only in reading the manufacturer guidance online that I realised this really does matter! When we think about it, it does make sense..... but it is not always something that would just jump in to our mind. After all, can we not treat it as we would our biological hair? Sadly, no - this is one area we MUST really pay attention to the differences.
YOU HAVE MADE AN INVESTMENT
You have spent money on your new hair, and it is not cheap - you have invested in the product that you feel is going to help you feel most like you.
Care of your item matters, as using the wrong brush - this can result in you causing shedding and balding of your beautiful new topper or wig, and this is absolutely devastating and heart breaking.
So let us get started on what we recommend and what our educational training has taught us.
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR WIG MANUFACTURER GUIDANCE IS ALWAYS TO BE FOLLOWED AHEAD OF ANY SELLER ADVICE OR INSTRUCTION. PLEASE ALWAYS FOLLOW MANUFACTURER GUIDANCE
HOW TO BRUSH YOUR ALTERNATIVE HAIR
This is so important. You must NEVER drag any brush or comb through the hair..... you must start from the bottom in small sections around 1-2 inches and brush down then move up another inch or so.
We recommend you "finger comb" first - use your hands to gently run through the wig or topper / hair piece and gently detangle. Never pull, never cause tension as this can result in balding.
So that method of how to do the brushing / combing..... great! Wait - what do we use?
]]>• HEAT FRIENDLY SYNTHETIC & STANDARD SYNTHETIC
The heat friendly fibres are some of the most delicate, fine fragile. We recommend (as advised by manufacturers and factories) that you ONLY ever use a wide tooth comb created specifically for your alternative hair. These are not the same as wide tooth combs that we would see in a standard hair salon for those with biological hair.
NEVER use any form of brush on your heat friendly topper or wig - it WILL cause the fibres to fray, and it causes far too much tension on the roots which will cause the wig and topper to bald or shed - this means that you are likely to have a hair piece that has the appearance of thinning and bald spots.
BUY WIDE TOOTH COMB FOR YOUR WIG OR TOPPER HERE
Standard synthetic hair we would also advise only using the wide tooth comb, as manufacturers and factories would also advise. this will help maintain longevity of your new hair piece.
• HUMAN HAIR BRUSHES
Human hair care is very different from that of synthetic hair.
We have guides on the care of human hair for you HERE but in regard to brushes, it is also important to use the correct brush type. A wide tooth comb for alternative hair is also appropriate for your human hair wig or topper, and is ideal to carry in your hand bag with you for "on the go."
The paddle brush shown here is by Jon Renau and is one of our favourites for brushing throughout the day. I (Michelle) carry this in my hand bag on the days that I wear human hair alongside my wide tooth comb. These are gentle, and the soft malleable bristles are gentle and will not pull on a knot. They will not tug on your hair, as they are not rigid and firm.... they are also safe if they touch gentle cap base materials..... this is so important to us all...... safety and maintaining the integrity of our hair and our topper and wig caps / bases is imperative! We love the Jon Renau Paddle Brush on all human hair systems. You can BUY THE JON RENAU PADDLE BRUSH HERE.
As well as brushing and maininting the smooth untangled look to your wig throughout the day...... human hair does require to be styled, and for this we would look for something that has more coarse but safe bristles that work in tangent with your hair, and not pull tug or work against the hair.We would recommend the Jon Renau Boar Bristle brush for styling your human hair wig.When drying and styling the hair, it will be pinned to a secure canvas cork block head, and this brush is perfect........ it has some plastic rounded bristles intermingled with the boar bristles, and allows for beautiful blow drying without damage. Unlike biological hair that can withstand high levels of heat, your wig or topper should not be styled using a heat retaining brush - please avoid these ceramic and metallic brushes that we would use in a salon for biological hair. We want our wigs to last as long as is practicably possible!You can BUY THE BOAR BRISTLE BRUSH HERE***********************************BRUSHES YOU SHOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS
There are so many brushes available that do have a purpose, and can be used under some circumstances, but as a whole - we would advise you AVOID these........ these are the wire wig brushes that everyone tends to buy as a first brush (believe me, I have done this too, and learned in my own errors).......
WIRE WIG BRUSHES:
- pull on the hair and cause balding / shedding
- can pierce the topper or wig cap and cause tears in the lace or fragile base materials
- cause friction and frizz to heat friendly and synthetic fibres
- can tear the human hair items
- the most common complaint from everyone using these - "MY TOPPER AND WIG IS GOING BALD"
We have chosen NOT to stock these on our site, and although they have purposes that we will not discuss, the risk outweighs the benefit in our mind........ and longevity is what we want you to have.
Sadly, the best made topper and wig on the planet will be obliterated by using this type of brush and you will see so much hair loss to your new hair. We do not want this for you and this is why you will not find these on our site.
It is IMPERATIVE that you always follow manufacturer guidance. We advise that you never use any wire wig brush. It is however up to yourself what you do and do not do with your items....... but please note that if you use something that causes damage, this is absolutely NOT a manufacturing flaw...... but it is sadly just inappropriate handling of the product.
The culprits you want to avoid are below:
I hope that has been helpful guys.
It is not meant to be a total "YOU MUST DO THIS" but rather a little guide to help you, and to stop you making some of the mistakes that I have made in my own early wig journey.
Have a lovely day,
Big Hugs,
Michelle

What size of wig am I? The size and fit of your wig is so important - not just for comfort and security, but wearing a well fitted cap ensures that your hair is going to last as long as practicably possible and is less likely to tangle!

A wee simplified comparison is so:
SILK SHIRT versus POLYESTER SHIRT
For me, I want every one of you to feel as beautiful as you are.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Sometimes, with any physical image change - we can feel an identity loss, and total confusion / despair. Often we lose confidence in ourselves (if we had much before), and we can feel so low and call ourselves "ugly." It is more than hair - alopecia may not be physically "dangerous", but it does have the potential to be emotionally, and psychologically devastating.
I will not even try to say that headwear will solve all problems - it won't. And... neither will a wig....... HOWEVER, for me.... I have come to realise that I am Michelle!In a wig, headwear, bald, makeup or bare faced. THE SAME GIRL!!!!
Oddly, alopecia has helped me accept the real me....... Anna and Ali of Masumi have become close friends to me, and the passion and love this beautiful couple have is phenomenal.
To me, Masumi is more than a company....... it is a BRAND! It is an ethos and the beautiful creations are not only aesthetically wonderful, but they are - indeed - comfortable and truly designed for us with hairloss. This can only happen as the designs come from a place of love. From a couple with true intent to support and help others.....
I have attached a wee video up above for you guys........ it was a day I was honoured to have. Photoshoots, filming, food - totally unscripted and just talk throughout the day that has been beautifully incorporated to a video. At the bottom, I shall show a wee video of one style and the versatility offered.
The Brand Ambassador video was created by Masumi Headwear, but it is me speaking from the heart. The focus of the day was to HELP, INSPIRE, AND SUPPORT others with hairloss...... not business promotion. This to me meant the world. And that is - in essence, who Masumi are. What they represent.
Masumi, to me you are just the definition of your name! True beauty achieved through purity....... MASUMI!
IT IS OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY!
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GRIEVE THE LOSS OF YOUR HAIR!

I am mid transfer of my personal blogs over to the MiMo page to try to make one site here that is not only about sales, but an all round MiMo Hairloss Solutions and safe place to discuss all things hairloss for all wig sisters to read and comment upon.
This post is one which I published on my previous personal blog last year, and wanted to share with you gorgeous girlies and guysies!
So, I was sitting down to write about something entirely away from the subject of hair (or lack of, in my case)…….. HOWEVER, I guess after today……. I have a lot on my mind, and I have been thinking about a lot of this…….over the past two years.
So 31st of July was my 3 year “Bald-iversary” and it has been a crazy three years! Not only alopecia wise – but so much has happened….. and I am sure that I shall fill you all in very soon.
I guess I have neglected the blogging, and not really fully gotten in to the world of publishing my nonsensical chat. I often begin to write, and it becomes “too personal,” or just down right boring!
So today, I was at the AUTOIMMUNE ALOPECIA RESEARCH (Now Part of Alopecia UK) Charity family fun day event, and it was a really great day that has left me thinking over my hairless journey. More importantly; my views on myself, my life – some of this due to the alopecia “kick start!”
So the gorgeous Nicola organised an amazing event, and it was so lovely to just be able to go along and try to help out. (TRY being the operative word!) It was a happy day, and I just felt so wonderful! Thank you, Nicola!
For those of you lovely friends and family and people who know me…… you may (or may not) know that I have been rather AWOL / MIA from life in general…. due to my physical health the past year or so.
However, I am beginning to feel so much better, and it is nice to slowly manage to become a part of the functioning human race – and feel more “NORMAL” (I have never fitted in to any societal norms……. but that is for another day).
I had the honour and privilege of talking to some new friends today. I spoke to someone new to their hairloss journey, and I guess it got me thinking over my own journey through this crazy world.
I am so blessed in so many ways. I have a wonderful and supportive family……. I have good friends……. and although many may disagree – I have my health. And as a very wonderful Uncle recently said to me “Michelle, your health is your wealth!” This is so true.
Physically, I am not in the best of health……. However, emotionally and mentally I am well…….and content. To me, I feel that “good health” is very subjective. Again, I am away at a tangent!
To many, Alopecia is just a word. To me, it is not actually about the physical “hair loss.” This may sound a little ‘off the wall,’ as that is exactly what the word means. ALOPECIA = HAIRLOSS.
However, the physical loss of hair does not pose a huge physical issue to me (other than the persistent feeling of being cold with a runny nose and itchy eyes!)
Alopecia to me – it is a blessing! In the past, I felt it was a curse. It has been a discovery of who I am….. and my perceptions of many things have changed. Seriously!
To me, it was so incredibly overwhelming to lose my hair.
I would always laugh and joke about my hair falling out. On the outside, I was seen to be “emotionally strong and full of fun”……….I did not feel anything of it was funny. I did not feel strong. I did not have control over the condition…… I did not cope. I really did not cope….. At. All.
Often, I would come home and I would cry. Emotionally, I would fall to pieces. I felt that my world was coming apart, and I began to question everything about myself. It was a sense of loss of identity. My appearance is not important to me from a vanity point of view……. but it is the physical embodiment of what I associate as my sense of identity.
Losing the person I knew in the mirror posed the feeling of losing my identity.
I guess meeting people today………. whilst the day itself was happy and amazing……it reminded me of those feelings I had. I looked at people around me today and thought………life is wonderful, but life can be tough. Not just due to one thing or another – but we each have a journey – and sometimes that walk becomes tough.
SO many people we know so well…… others we may not know at all…….. whilst people may seem so positive and content…….. Do we know how they feel inside?
I guess for me today – and thinking over my own journey – it made me think that really I don’t know how people may feel. We can often be so clever and so great at portraying a positive and happy demeanour…..be the life and soul of the party…… but sometimes, we may feel as though inside we are screaming and crying.
I know that at times in my life, I have seemed the happiest person in the world to so many……….. and I have become a master at hiding my hurt……. ON THE OUTSIDE…… I have worn a disguise of happiness whilst under the mask has been someone wishing that people would see the hurt. I am sure that I am not the only one to have felt this way or behaved in this manner? We humans are an enigma!
I guess I am in a good place just now, emotionally and mentally. I have been thinking a lot about what things bothered or upset me when I felt low. I have been contemplating life (maybe not in great depth)…… and I have been realising…….. do I always think about how my friends and family feel?
Do I take the time to ask how people REALLY feel inside? Do I accept the superficial, or do I really listen and pay attention to the unspoken?
I have decided that I need to make it my mission to try to always be kind. I worry for many at times, and I wish I could help people…… but I do not always seem to be good at complimenting people, or using kind words and showing love to others.
This has become a bit of a rant. I guess I am just writing a jumble of thoughts down here. A cacophony of nonsense!
I am unsure whether this will make sense to anyone other than me, but I felt I wanted to write – this is what seemed to happen to the blog page!
If you have made it to the end of this……. I am so impressed!
Be kind to yourself……….
It is okay to feel down - IT IS OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY! You are allowed to struggle. We are human, and that is life. I guess my thinking is that if you ever feel low – it can be so difficult to show that to others. It can be tough to say emotionally things are difficult – no matter the cause. It is important to share this with others, and show yourself the love that you would to others.
Life can throw a few curve balls at times.
You are special. You are one of a kind. YOU are unique, beautiful, and a gift to this world!
No-one else can ever know your path or journey, as no-one else has walked it. I shall go, as I feel I am blethering a whole load of nonsense now!
Until next time (if I haven’t scared you off),
Sending lots of and hugs your way guys,
(AKA MiMo)

Hey gorgeous!
Be wary - this stuff is potent!
What is a topper ? Who can wear a topper? What type of topper do I need? Why do toppers come in various base sizes? How do they wait on? HELP!!!
All you need to know about wearing a top piece (topper) featuring Jon Renau products and imaging - demystifying the mystery!
x
]]>- What size of hair thinning / loss area do you have? (Measure front to back and side to side area)- Have you ever tried a topper before? If so, do you remember brand / style?- Are you looking for a topper that you can heat style?- Would you have a preference of human hair / synthetic?- Is there a specific budget that you have?- Are you wanting something that requires minimal styling, or something that you can spend time caring for / styling- Do you have healthy hair around the thin area that is sufficient for supporting the weight of the topper?- What length of hair are you looking for?
TOPPER BASES
If you have no brows, and no time for makeup - this will have you looking perfectly brow-blessed in no time!
x
]]>I got these and didn't expect to love them as much as I do.
Brow wigs! who would have thought?! x
ARGH I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED! Let's get chatting more.....
x
]]>A popular myth is that any shampoo and conditioner salon quality is effective on human hair wigs / toppers and pieces. THIS IS NOT THE CASE!
You do not want to be stripping out oils from your helper hair that those with “bio hair” would want from their hair care products.
Another important consideration is how frequently we wash our hair - AND our brush must be safe too!
A quick guide (although not set in stone).....
Hope you are having a fab time and very soon to be in the festive spirit. I know that this time of year is difficult for many, and for so many reasons.
If you are struggling at the approach of Christmas and with this time of year, then I genuinely send you all of my love and prayers that it can be a peaceful time, and that you can find comfort at a difficult time x
Sooooooo my lovelies!...... we are already in NOVEMBER and about to hit December!!!!? ARGHHHH how did that even happen?
I am not quite sure! help?! Are you organised for Christmas? I am totally not sorted at all this year. This has to be the most disorganised I have been - although it is a comment I seem to say most years - I am getting worse!!
So we are only a few wee weeks away from the day that many of us love so much. It can be such a special time to give and really give thanks for what we do have in life. x (me thinks)
One question I know that is on so many minds right now - what hair do we wear at Christmas?(or nights out, etceteras)......
This time of year is a time we often run low on cash (more so than usual), and I know it is the time I always want new hair, but cant tend to afford the style I want. x
I decided that MiMo should do something to help you beautiful girlies and guys out....... this is why for the month of December we will be offering 20% off on a specific brand each week! Keep your wee eyes peeled for offers.
On top of the weekly wig offers for Christmas, we also have a weekly offer available for those of you beauties who have become "MiMo Members" (Wig Sisters I think we should say!)
What is that? What is a MiMo Member? I hear some of you ask..... WELLLLLL, it is basically just a "sign up" to the site that allows you to have access to weekly offers - woohoo! This runs all year round at the moment. (I just LOOOOVE a bargain, so I feel that it is only right to offer you one, too!)
Previously, the MiMo Members codes have worked for everyone whether subscribed or not - the codes about to change, and will only be accessible to those signed up - a wee reward for you MiMo Wig Sisters.
SOOOOO my lovely girlies and guys - sometimes we can decide on a topper or wig that we want to wear, but HOW DO WE STYLE?
Hairdressers can be expensive, and not everyone is comfortable taking a wig along to a hairdresser - I totally understand this. I also offer styling services, but again - this is a cost that is easily avoidable - and believe it or not, I want to help you guys - so I am endeavouring to start a wee styling section on my youtube.
I will absolutely aim to get some styling videos on for you! I will insert a couple below for you that are actually videos I have previously recorded via my YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
Whether you adore long goddess locks, short pixie hair...... Whether human hair, synthetic, straight or curly, we have it all at MiMo !
Here are a couple of videos for you that show some wig styling...... more with better quality to come soon!
Hey beautiful girlies and boysies!
My name is Michelle Moffatt, and in 2015 I lost my hair due to autoimmune Alopecia (Alopecia Areata / Universalis). I spent a lot of time and money attempting to find the perfect brand / wig / solution to my hairless head!
I will share my story as we go, and shall introduce this blog for you all. I have had some really positive experiences, and some negative. Every one has become an opportunity, and I have worked so hard to learn about the industry and what is available for us with hair loss. I want to SHARE THAT LEARNING with you!...... and help you SPARKLE!
For me, I often am seen with a wig, often in headwear, and also bald. I tend to go with how I feel on the day!
Losing hair can be so tough emotionally, and I certainly felt that it was a total loss of identity. I want to be here to support and help you in your journey!
Whether you are female, male, transitioning, hairy or bald - if I can provide service to you, I would be honoured to. No Matter why you wear hair, MiMo is here to help you and support you through your journey.
You are the most important person in your journey through life - you are the STAR of your story.
MiMo would be honoured to help with our services. Whether you know what you want to buy, or it is all new - I am here to support you, and aim to satisfy and support you emotionally and with all things wiggy and headwear!
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site, and take a moment to drop us a line.
I have spent a lot of time and money trying to find "THE WIG" that is right for me, and want to share my learning and expertise with you! I have attended advanced courses half way across the world, and all with the purpose to make me better suited to assist you guys in your wig journey x
Most importantly, I am honoured if you have found yourself here, as most importantly - I would love to help you in your journey......... whether that is is helping you to love your beautiful self, or help you find some hair to help you sparkle! MiMo Wigs is here for you!
