Wearing wigs

[Roll]

It always amazes me how transgender people willingly pay thousands of dollars on hormones and medical treatments, but satisfy themselves with a cheap plastic wig. Your hair is probably the single most significant factor when it comes to gender identification in public. There really is a considerable difference between those cheap wigs and the high quality kind that cost in the $800-$3K range. Well fitted, well styled and well cared for, they can last for years rather than months. Better still, they'll be more likely to look like your real hair.

At least look into quality wigs. My current favorites available online are the Milano line. But, if possible, you are always much better off having a wig professionally fitted and styled for you.

I can barely afford groceries, a handful of $10 wigs are my limit for the moment. ;/ When I go full time I'll get one that's a few hundred though that's still far off.

I right there with you Ellie! 
Hell, a pink baseball cap might cost me more

A good number of trans people have used wigs at one point or another having said that so have CIS people too. I had to use one for a good while, however now I don't because it got to the point where the wig was hurting and limiting hair growth that I needed to let my own hair show all the time to finally finish getting fuller and thicker hair everywhere on my scalp. As far as the cost, they can very from very cheap to extremely expensive. It is best to think of one as an investment and get the right one for you in the first place if you can. I had to work with one until I really could afford the one that was a better fit for my face. Now my spouse uses one while they wait for their hair to grow out to a point that it can be styled in a way that is feminine but allows them to work as male still until they are ready to switch at work provided they want to make the switch at work which I anticipate they will.
