What It’s Like to Wear a Wig

If you’ve ever considered wearing a wig or a hair piece, you probably have a lot of questions. Like which looks more natural, human hair or synthetic wigs? Or what cap construction will look natural but also be comfortable? And what color and style should you try – something similar to your own hair or something completely different? But even before you start with all the choices and the shopping, you may actually want to know what it’s like to wear a wig.

Do wigs really look natural?

This is one of the questions that gets asked most. And we find that most of our customers say that few notice they are wearing a wig, unless the person noticing know hair pieces or is wearing a wig, too. With the right adhesion techniques and products, the wig will stay in place throughout most activities and some can even be styled just like your own hair.

Are they comfortable?

Another common question: are wigs comfortable to wear? This is where your series of questions to find the right wig for you will come in very handy. The short answer is yes, a wig that is made for your specific use and lifestyle should be comfortable. Using the experienced stylists at Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique will help you determine the best wig cap construction that will be most comfortable. Like with any new adventures, it may take a little time to feel comfortable and confident wearing your new wig, but give it time (a couple weeks). Women and men who have been wearing a wig or hair piece for years or even months barely notice they are wearing one now.
