Wig wearers

[ChangeMyHair]

I've been wearing a topper for a couple of years now, but I don't like what the clips are doing to my own hair and it can feel a bit uncomfortable by the end of the day. I wear it all day for work and when I leave the house.

I bought a couple of wigs last Christmas from a very cheap site, for fancy dress, but they feel so much more comfortable, I've now decided to move on to wigs. I've ordered 2 wigs from JB Extensions, I've got a Lila and and Claire on the way. And a wig grip.

If you wear one, did you find people can tell, do you keep it quiet or do you switch it up regularly so its obvious? I ordered these two in the same colour to try to pass it off as straight or curly hair.

I have quite long hair - it’s very straight and difficult to get it to hold any styling for long. Wanted to switch things up a bit occasionally. I got the Hollie wig by Jon Renau in a couple of colours (blonde for summer and a sort of brunette/caramel for autumn/winter). At first, everyone thought I’d had a great haircut/colour, all were shocked when I said it’s a wig - I’ve been very honest with people I know, but I don’t go round announcing it to random people!

I don’t wear it all the time, but it’s great to just throw one on if I’m going out for lunch, etc. It holds its style and I’m never worried about it not looking good. Good luck and have fun wearing your new purchases.

Thanks, that looks a nice one, I'm not brave enough to go with lace yet 😂

They are so light and really comfortable, doesn’t feel like I’m wearing one. The only time I wouldn’t wear it is if I’ve got the roof down on the car - am too worried the driver behind me would end up with something resembling a flying ferret landing on their windscreen 😂

😂

Apparently the wig grips would stop that, I've seen videos of women headbanging in them and they haven't moved.

I’ve worn a wig for years - I had a hairpiece for a while, and posted a photograph of myself on MN in a dress, asking for opinions (on the dress). As is the way, I had lots of negative views about the hairpiece and, as a result, I ditched it for a wig. This was about nine years ago (and a different user name!).

I love the fact that it’s so quick and easy to get ready now. I can put it up or wear it down. A couple of my friends know - I have told them - the others might wonder but have never asked and I’m ok with that.

I have worn full wigs, but I wear a topper now. My current one was very spenny, but it has non pressure clips and I can’t really feel I’m wearing it. I feel like full wigs are more forgiving in terms of budget, I’ve had some really great cheaper wigs but cheaper toppers don’t seem to last as well.
No one’s ever noticed I’m wearing a wig or a topper. People close to me know, obviously. I had a full wig that was dark roots with pale pink lengths and when I wore it no one noticed, I had compliments on my new hair colour.
i wear toppers now because I always felt quite hot in a wig, like I was constantly wearing a hat. I feel more breathable in a topper. My current one shown below.

I wear wigs as my hair is patchy due meds. I have loads but my favourite is cheap and cheerful Jackson from Rene of Paris. I spray new synthetic ones with dry shampoo before wearing to take down the shine, and pluck out a lot of permatease if the wig has it. Most people in my life know as I'm quite open about it but I do get 'lovely hair' comments. I use hair grips and my wig survived being blown about sitting in the back of a convertible on holiday this summer

Yep. Wear them all the time. Jb extension wigs are amazing and the hard cap ones are so cheap. Get loads of compliments and always tell people I’m wearing a wig. Most seem shocked. Keep my bio hair really short and always wear a wig grip. Love the fact that I can go from a pixie cut to waist length boho in seconds

I would love to do that but I want to pretend I'm not wearing a wig as much as possible 😂
