Does anyone wear a wig for fun?

Well if you go from pixie style to long and back again people will know it’s a wig won’t they ?
No I ve never used one bit if that’s what you want to do why not ?

My friend does occasionally! The first time I saw her in it I told her that I loved her new style. It was very similar in length, not pixie but chin length. She looked bluddy amazing!

Then she started giggling and fessed up. Gosh, I tell you, next year when I get my state pension (age 66y) I’m going to treat myself to one!

I know people who wear them because of hair loss or thinning hair and they look great.

Most people have told me they itch but, if you want to try one, why not? You won't know until you try.

I know a bit about wigs, saying no more. Except this is a good site, and cheap.

Welcome op, if you are new.

Yes ‘hi’ MTDancer - as kitty quite rightly says.

Thank you Fennel I’ve saved that link for next summer when I’m ‘in the money’ hehe!

This is something I've often considered but never got around to trying. Love the idea.

Wow Fennel if I was brave enough there are several wigs that I would love to buy.

Complete wig virgin here so would read with interest any wig info such as...
Cap v Non cap wigs?
Hair net required?

I used to have some when I was younger,my hair has always been quite long but I loved my afro style wig I looked completely different in it .I also had wigs in red and platinum blonde ,simply because I didn't fancy getting my hair bleached .I've had it loads of colours since then and no wigs for a long time.I was just saying to my OH I fancied a new red one after watching Nicola in Emmerdale whose hair is a fab colour.Go for it ,at least go try some on an dsee the effect .

Thanks, I'm going to try one.
No kittylester and Urmstongran, I am not new, I've been around and contributing for years

The advert I showed has 'capless' wigs but they do have a sort of elasticated cap inside. If your hair is cut short you don't need a hairnet.
I should add, as these wigs come from China ((or Russia) you might be charged customs duties.
I've bought other hair coverings from an american company which is aimed at people having chemotherapy. Their prices are higher, and you do have to pay customs duty. I'll look for the link.

I have started to lose my hair at the front and have been thinking of trying a wig. I love the idea that I could go from long to short, brown to blonde or black all in a few minutes. Or even try some of the more modern colours like pink or purple. I'm 66 and certainly wouldn't think twice about using them. Good luck if you go ahead and let us know where you get yours from if you would.

I used to wear a wig for a change in the mid 60's- era that is not age!
It was great fun- I think I had 2 or 3.
A good friend has recently lost all the hair on her body to to a form of alopecia (which is probably not spelt like that but no checker on this site). She wears a wig now looks amazing. However she does find it hot & it was a very expensive one too!

I worked with a lovely lady who always had gorgeous shiny hair. One day after we had worked together for several years I commented on her hair and asked how she kept it in such good condition. She looked at me amazed and said, "Didn't you know its a wig?" Chemo had left her with thinning hair. I truly didn't ever think it wasn't her real hair!

MTDancer if you're going to get one get a good one! Or what about extensions so that you can have long(er) hair for a while?

I have been thinking about it, but I want one which looks real. I'm fed-up with my hair, it keeps growing! I go to the hairdresser and get it cut the way I want it but in no time, it's all long and straggly again. Keeping my head shaved and wearing a wig seems a much better option. (I know I shouldn't say this but my hair is still thick and dark brown, not grey, so I should be proud of it, but it's just a nuisance.)

I got a wig following chemo. (NHS paid some towards it, I paid balance so I got a good quality one). I wear a "stocking cap" as otherwise it tended to slip about - not a nice look! But I will say that it does make your head rather warm! Probably no bad thing in our winters, but going into shops can cause you to sweat buckets! I'd recommend a shop rather than online purchase as often they will "style" the wig, trim it etc to suit you before you leave.

I worked with a lady who's silver coloured pixie cut hair always looked lovely. I complimented her one day and she confessed she always wore a wig. She had two identical ones which she wore in rotation.
I have very fine hair and have considered a wig. I think it would irritate me after a couple if hours though.

Helen sorry, I didn't read your post before I typed mine.

Coincidence

I've two wigs 'left over' from when I had chemo four years ago. I haven't worn them since but have considered putting them on if I'm having a bad hair day.

As Mad grandma says it's better to go to a shop where you can try on different styles, but then you have to pay more.
I know people who have paid a few thousand pounds for a "custom made" real hair wig. Looking gorgeous.
Too much for me.
