how do you deal with exercise that causes significant sweat? Or exercise that requires the use of a helmet? I am a wig-only girl, but it's a total pain for those two scenarios...
If I am outside the house, I wear either a wig or a hat. Most of my exercise is dog-walking, so I wear a ball cap or a sun hat in sweaty weather, or a tuque in cold weather. In spite of my earlier quip, I have enough hair at the back and sides to show curls under a hat.
I am a volunteer firefighter, which can present hair challenges. At the weekly training meetings, I wear either a tuque or a ball cap, depending on the weather. It stays on even indoors. Most of the members are farmers or hillbillies, so wearing a hat indoors is not considered weird.
It's a bit of an issue when getting suited up in the full gear with helmet. I do a quick change from hat to the flash hood worn under the helmet. Typically, everyone is too busy getting their own gear on to notice. And they all know my story anyway. When I go on a call, I'll stuff my hat into a pocket so that, if I am able to remove my helmet, I can cover my head.
