Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Honest Opinion.... Hey y'all! I have a question for you. What do you think about wigs? I have a friend who has a genetic condition that caused her to lose most of her hair. She is 27 and has very little natural hair left. She wears a wig on a daily basis and you would never know it! She looks great! And gets compliments all the time. It has really boosted her self confidence and she looks great! Well, what do you think about people wearing wigs who don't need them as much as say a person with extreme hair loss or maybe going through chemo? I have noticed in the past few years how thin my hair is getting. I wear my hair up in a pony tail a lot (sometimes with a baseball cap on, sometimes not) because it hides my thin hair. But anytime I wear my hair down, I always am so self concious. I catch myself looking in the mirror to fix my hair at the top because I can see my scalp underneath. It's not extremely noticeable but you can see it, especially if I did my hair curly for the day. I was thinking of maybe trying out a wig to see what I thought. My Mom has thinning hair and I am wondering if thin hair is just a genetic thing in our family too. I was just wondering if any of you had any wig experience or know anyone who has? The friend I have wears one made of human hair and it is so natural looking. I am seriously thinking about trying one out to see what it's like. Just for days when I want to go somewhere nice and not worry about my thin hair. Of course, I would choose a style almost exactly to my own, nothing major like going inches longer than I already am. Thoughts? Thanks for your input!

| I think you should do whatever makes you feel good! I don't think I could wear one, I had extensions for a while and those things drove me bonkers LOL. If I had to wear one I think it would be different- I might get use to it. Sometimes I think on the days my hair is dirty or not doing what it is suppose to - I wish I had a wig I can just throw on LoL

| I used to have a friend who wore wigs just because. She never really liked her hair so she wore a wig. I say, if you want to wear one, go for it. If you like it and it makes you feel better about yourself, who cares what everyone else thinks. After all, who really has to know if you don't want them to?

| you can find some really nice ones that are made of real hair and are comfortable. i believe you can even have them custom made so it is all in what makes you feel best! thats whats important. i dont think there is anything wrong with wearing them.

In this world the is so much misery which we now take for granted that wearing something that makes you feel good just can not be wrong. Think about underwear. Women go through a lot of expense and trouble selecting really nice underwear. Who gets to see this expensive underwear ??? They wear it because it makes them feel good who gives a Sh^& who gets to see it they want to feel good. With a wig, everyone gets to see it and receiving compliments only serves to achieve the aim. Before you ask YES I wore a wig for a long time but now at 70 years old I no longer feel I have to.

| Wigs can be great! I have customers who wear them all time and look completely natural. The secret is to pay attention to things about your own hair line and match match match! Look into real hair vs synthetic because most synthetic can NOT be styled with hot tools. I learned this the hard way in beauty school when I melted a wig heh not a fun way to learn!!! Man the stories I could tell :P

| I think you should do what ever makes you happy. I know when I was going thru Chemo 6 1/2 yrs ago, I bought a beautiful wig made of human hair, it was comfortable. But in the Hot Texas heat I couldn't stand it. I think I wore it maybe 3 times. I still take it out every now then and put it on and then put it back.

| I don't see a thing wrong with it. It would be no different than wearing false eyelashes or anything else thats false. Nails etc. Just what anyone is comfortable with. My mother wore wigs in her later years because her meds caused her to lose alot of her hair. She always looked beautiful and younger than she was. She passed away at 82 still wearing her make-up and wigs and looking pretty as ever. So, I say if it makes anyone feel better about themselves go for it. Who cares what anyone else thinks. They never say anything about false nails, eyelashes, boobs and everything else. |
