Mary commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"That's when tattooed brows come in handy. Whether I'm scuba diving or working out, I always had some brows, even when I don't have extra powder or pencil applied. Works well for me."
Lee commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"Ive gone through this too. Im SERIOUSLY concidering just wearing a bandana! Its comfortable! I love working out at home bald too, it actually feels better than when I had hair. Wigs suck at the gym though...all of them ; /"
Petra commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"I stopped exercising in public because I just couldn't stand exercising with a wig on. Now I go to Yoga and Zumba classes with a bandana on. I'm at the point were I think the Heck with what other people think. I want to exercise and be…"
PaulJ commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"Awesome Mary,
When I was a kid with a real hair wig (attached by tape) I remember my head used to get so so hot when active (and in summer it was like a furnace). At the end of the day I used to put a ice cold flanel on my head and I could swear…"
Mary commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"I had a tank top made specifically to wear to the gym - it says "Yes, I'm bald...Get over it" on the front, and "No Hair, No Problem" on the back. And, I always wear earrings. ( ;-)"
Aimee commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"I hear you! I am trying to get the courage to just wear an exercise scarf to the gym, but I just can't give up wearing my synthetic wig! It is, true, though, that our hair looks FANTASTIC no matter how hard we're working out. I wear this…"
Dominique Cleopatra commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"I know I must be annoying going on and on about my blah blah blah bonded on hair system, but it really does "breath" and as someone whose body runs cold, I rather enjoy the extra warmth of a constantly covered head. I'm not sure how I…"
Mary commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"A woman showed me her vacuum prosthesis once (she was selling a top model and trying to interest me), and when she took it off, there was about a teaspoon of sweat in it. That was enough for me to know that they aren't for me!"

Virginia Olivera Manley commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"I eschewed wigs for a very long time. MY hair fell out when I was six, and I didn't get a wig until I was 19, because I didn't want to pretend to be something I wasn't. I have a vacuum prosthesis now. And as much as I like it, I hate…"
Mary commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"Virginia - I totally support women who are more comfortable wearing a wig, but I'm completely unable to wear them at any time, whether I'm exercising in the gym, dancing, hiking, or even just sitting in a room-temperature restaurant. I…"
Gail commented on Virginia Olivera Manley's blog post Heated up over wigs"What kind of wig do you wear? Mine are traditional cap synthetics and while they are undoubtedly hotter than real hair, I find I perspire not much more than I would otherwise. I wear wigs during my workouts and the nape and bang areas get sweaty…"

Heated up over wigs
Posted on November 24, 2010 at 5:39am 13 Comments 0 Favorites
There are a lot of things I thought were just my "issues" before coming onto this site. For instance, wearing unbearably hot, uncomfortable wigs in the middle of summer, sweating out from under them to maintain the anonymity the wig provides. Sometimes I find myself at the gym, doggedly tramping on the treadmill, my face tomato red and swollen, while the hair on my wig is "just so"... I mean, I look like a person flogging themselves at the gym and getting results--and that is the goal, right?… Continue
