Title: Wig Question
Post by: Angelgrl on March 29, 2015, 07:16:46 PM
Hi everyone.  This is for those that wear wigs or have to wear them due to hair loss.  I lost all my hair from chemotherapy and had to buy a wig.  It is a shoulder length blonde wig with blunt bangs.  I have to wear a wig cap under it otherwise the cap ends up scratching my head all up.  The problem I am having is that it gets too HOT wearing the wig with a wig cap underneath.  I feel like I am going to pass out sometimes when I am outside in the sun.  I have not worn a wig in a very long time, since I use to have long hair before I started chemo.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to remedy this problem with the wig being too hot?  I heard that capless wigs are cooler, how do they work? What are they made out of?  I am not able to afford a human hair wig.

Micro fibre wigs are very realistic and cost a fraction of a real hair wig. I can't help you about capless wigs, some come with a built in net and are comfortable and not hot but I don't know if they'd cause you problems or not.
