Love wearing wigs
Posted on November 20, 2009 at 2:05pm 6 Comments 0 Favorites
In scanning this site, it looks like most people hate wearing wigs. I actually think its a fun and glamorous thing to do. I feel like a princess or movie star when I'm wearing glamorous wigs. If anybody would like advice on how to make a wig look better, or more comfortable, please write to me.

Susan Innes said… Hi Liz- Loved your comments about wearing the wigs which I also like to exchange periodically; I just added a new profile photo (as a blond). One of the reasons for my wearing a wig is not so much being afraid of what others think but feeling better myself. When we feel glamorous, the moon and stars seem to shine a little brighter:). Hugs, Susan

Pat said… - Hi Liz, I resisted wearing a wig and felt like such a fake when I took the plunge...but like you my attitude changed and I realised I could look better than I did with my own hair. Unless a person goes through life completely natural i.e. no make up, no shaving of arm pits, no deodorant , no hair treatments or hair cutting/styling etc etc we all fake our appearance to some extent. Now my wigs are just part of who I am.

Marie said… - When I first thought about wearing a wig as a solution to my hair loss, I wasn't that comfortable with it. Then, I realized that there are whole sub-cultures of women who wear wigs every day becasue they want to, not because hair loss is forcing them: Hollywood stars, married orthodox Jewish women, many African American women, etc. Suddenly, wigs became not only a way to stop my obsession and distress regarding hair loss, but fashion accessories as well. I'm not hiding anything; I tell everyone I have Alopecia. If my hair grew back tomorrow, I'd still wear wigs sometimes.

Lisa M said… - Hi Liz,
Do you have any tips for when the wigs get knots at the nape of your neck? How can I prevent this or what can I use to get rid of it, instead of cutting it off?
I currently use the proper wig shampoo and conditioner?
Thanks
Lisa
