I wanna wear wigs...

Yes...I really do.
I find all of these really, really cute wigs and I really wanna buy them and just wear 'em!

But I'm so iffy on it...
I was sitting on the bus with one of my friends and a girl was wearing a wig (just because she liked it), and my friend said "Why would she wear a wig? She has nice white people hair!"
And frankly, she's not the first person who has said something along those lines (about someone or to me directly when I mention that I wanna start wearing wigs).

I mean, it's not something I'd wear everyday, but ya know, I get eaisly bored with my appearance, but I don't want to go out and bleach my hair blonde or go carbon black.
People are used to my kinda odd, out there personality, and wearing stuff that others wouldn't (people say that I can "pull anything off"), but I've never done much with my hair (simply because I don't think much CAN be done with hair lol).

So I was wondering...is it weird that I wanna wear wigs??
And if I do decide to buy some, does anyone have any tips on how to keep them on? (I'm so freaked that I'll wear it and in the middle of the day, it falls off XD I've never worn one before).

Well... I wear them too (but because I have to)

I sometimes buy wigs on regular sites, I usually search on *cosplay wig* or something like that because I like colors Happy


You can use a wigcap, that looks like nylons, just put your own hair underneath, and put the wig on your head.
You can also use bobby pins to be safe(r) or small hair clips.

But please keep in mind that wearing a wig cap underneath your wig can cause headache if you wear it too long, I always have that problem.
And wigs are pretty warm, and its better that (when you have long haired wig) that you wear it in a braid or a ponytail.

long hair is gonna be a mess when its moving over your neck the entire time



if you have any questions, send me a message, I'll be glad to help you out Happy

I want to wear wigs, too! I have your same problem D: I really want to buy crazy colored wigs with different lengths of hair and all that! I think I will, actually. My only issue is that my hair is short and I don't want little bits of hair falling out, but I suppose a wig cap and bobby pins will take care of that

Thanks y'all :3

My grandma said she used to wear wigs, but apperently it made her hair really thin and told me not to start myself.


I found some really cute wigs at prettyandcute.com
(They're all natural hair colour, and for now, that'd be the only ones I can buy. My dad is mad over the fact I dyed my blonde hair brown. If I ever thought about wearing an unnatural colour wig, he'd go Jerry Springer on me and rip it right off! Plus, for school, if we dye our hair an unnatural colour, we'll get written up.)
If Jeffree Star's music video for "Beauty Killer", he has this blue wig that I'm just in LOVE with.

Cool I'll check it out Happy

I'm thinking of buying mannequin heads, painting them, and buying various unnaturally colored wigs for them & me to wear. I have a list going in my head ^_^

lol
Well if you ever find a place that sells goo quality ones, please tell me about it! Happy


It's good that you're plannin' though :3
Wigs, from what I can tell, aren't a cheap investment, so it's good to have what ya need to be able to take care of 'em.

lol
I was watching a video on how to put a video on and the girl was saying how she didn't have enough money or somethin' to buy a head to put her wigs on, and the person recording said "My wigs is on a styrofoam ball that used to be the planet Saturn."
I started crackin' up! XD
That's probably what I'd end up doing lol

I know Manic Panic sells them and I know their hair dye works relatively well but I haven't seen any review of their wigs. They're relatively normally priced for wigs, so I might just buy one and if it sucks it'll at least look good on a mannequin head haha. Amphigory.com sells wigs and from what I've heard they take forever to get to you but their wigs are good quality. So I guess those would be the two places I'd order from...

Sally Beauty Supply sells styrofoam mannequin heads to store wigs on for 3.99 so I'd go with those...

That's my wig research for now haha Tongue

Start with the hair pieces. Like the ones that just clip in. I think they're a lot cheaper too. I'm sending you a link to my Avon store. I'm not saying buy from me...but I do know that Avon sells these and I've seen them first hand and they look really nice. I think Toni (the maker) has her own website too if you want to check it out.

That's a good idea Dessah, I'm sort of the same. I refuse to dye my hair blonde but because my natural hair colour is soooo dark, most other colours don't take to my hair. If you look at my picture the red bit of hair is a clip on, I've also got a blue one, some purple ones and a rainbow one.

I wish I could recommend places for you to buy some but we are in different countries because quite a few shops over here sell them.

If you want wigs try costume shops, that's where I got mine for my friend's birthday party, other than that some card/gift shops over here sell the occasional wig and Asda's (supermarket's) sometimes sell them, particularly in the seasonal sections - mainly for halloween. :S

By the way, I kinda drifted off the topic. If you want to wear a wig then do it!! It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If your friend doesn't understand why people want to wear a wig then that's her opinion, which she's entitled to but you are entitled to yours too so don't be put off by it. She'll still love you regardless and if she doesn't understand you could try explaining to her what you've just told us. She might come round to the idea eventually!!
