Ordered my first real hair wig yesterday and quite excited as I think it will be more manageable than the synthetic ones. Just going to take a while for it to be made.

I love your hair in your profile photo.  Looks great.

Thanks Julie. Unfortunately the wig has seen better days and I struggle to keep the ever increasing frizz down. I did read on a Korean forum that a 50/50 mix of fabric softener and water is a good conditioner for synthetic wigs so planning to try that. When I can remember to buy the fabric conditioner.

I'm a bit lazy and also scared to wash and style it myself. I just bring it in to my wig shop and it is not too expensive for them to wash and style for me.

Good luck.

i've bought a few from halloween stores and amazon.
None have been glue on.
Big fan of wearing a wig as it makes me feel much sexier.

I pretty much have to, typical male pattern baldness means I would never look remotely female unless I did. Not sure what my options are if I ever decide to go further, invest in good quality wigs and make it work, I guess.

I haven't cut mine in over a year, so I have waves of  my own grey hair that fall below my shoulders.

Because of my "part-time" nature I always wear wigs when I'm presenting my feminine persona.  Finding the right style was a real challenge, and while I was searching, I went through many different styles and brands until I found a style that fit me. 

I got a lot of advice throughout my search, particularly that I should get fitted at a salon, by a professional.  I heeded that advice, but I found that I could never achieve the same results the professional did when styling the salon-bought wig.  Eventually, I purchased a wig from the internet, based on YouTube reviews.  Ultimately, I found a wig that looked good on me right out of the package, and to make it even better, it wasn't really expensive.  The wig fit me so well, I bought several of the same style in different colors, and I couldn't be happier.

My wigs are the "Glow-Girl" style made by Forever Young.  Be cautious though, making a wig purchase based on someone else's recommendation, because what may look really wonderful on me, might not fit another quite so well.

Hugs,

Sally

Thank you for the links!

I went to a specialist and not one of the synthetic or natural hair wigs did anything for me except make me feel like a guy in a wig. As a result: I do not wear one yet.

I have been shaving what hair I have left for a very long time, so I recently got this idea to get a henna crown I like. Still toying with the idea. If I go forward with it, I will post pictures :)

Cheers,

Ricki

I used to when my hair was short and while I was going through the awkward phase of hair growth. Now it's only when doing a costume outfit which is very rarely.
I get a lot of compliments in the way my hair turned out which still surprises me but I mean, why change it then?

I used to wear a wig for a very short time while my hair was short.  I disliked every moment of it!  As soon as my hair was long enough that I could something semi female looking with it, the wig was put away, and is now catching dust!

I love wearing my wigs. They fit very well and are very comfortable.

The salon I got them from also sells a shampoo and conditioner for wigs and it does a nice job.

No, I still have some hair. I have started taking Finasteride, second month with little or no side effects, to see if I can grow some of my hair back. Up to now I have been reluctant to go down the wig route, thought I looks like great fun.

You look great. No clue if it's a wig or not.

If so, then why not?

Daily. First thing I do in the morning is put on my hair, then turn on the light. The last thing I do at night is take it off. If I'm around people I don't want to know about me, I throw on a bandana. I know that's redundant but I have to have hair.

I am sort of the same way. If I leave my apartment I am either wearing a wig or a hat. I am sensitive about my scars near my hairline, so I keep them covered.

In the winter, I wear a full-coverage wig with long hair. In the summer when it is hot, I wear a topper. I prefer the topper because it clips in, is lightweight, and allows my long natural hair to flow out from under. Due to missing hair from a receding hairline, I removed the clips in front and used wig tape to secure the topper. Another issue is matching the wig color to my natural color. It was touch and go and involved several re-dos, but I finally got a close enough match that people think it is my natural hair. But if you look carefully, you can see the difference between my hair and the topper.

Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything.
Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you,
so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.
