What do you guys think of wigs?

Here`s an idea. I used to wear one everyday in my 2nd yr in college (1990). It was real human hair so no one knew the difference. The only drawback was that I didn`t feel that I could change wigs or go w/out it at all because then people would`ve known it was a wig.

I was watching GLOW on the style channel and this stylist (can`t remember his name) was helping a woman pick out a wig. It looked really good on her. That would solve the "growing pains" and wigs are much more accepted nowadays than they were 12 yrs. ago I think.

What are your opinions?

I think they are a good way to change your style without doing damage to your hair.
However, one lady on my class (I`m a college student) wore one, one day to make her hair almost to her butt. I thought that was a bit odd b/c you could tell it was fake hair, since the other day she had shoulder lenght hair. But it`s really no big deal. i guess part of the fun is surprising people with new looks.

Madison, what`s your current wig style like?
Do you wear the net over your hair b4 you put the wig on or do you just plunk it on?

I`m really thinking of getting another one after my extension fiasco, but I`m a preschool teacher and am very active and am afraid of sweating in it. Yuk.

When I wore one b4 I wasn`t as active.

Do you wear yours everyday?
Have you changed wigs over the last 2 yrs?

(I know I know, 20 questions:))

How much did you pay for them if you don`t mind me asking?
The one I wore 12 yrs ago was $180.
I`m just wondering what it would cost today?

lucky, why didn`t you tell us you were growing your hair? I was thinking of how some people
see hairpieces as a replacement for their own hair. By all means, get a wig. How long was
your hair before the haircut? Did you ask for a nape-length cut or did the stylist cut too
much off?

Just out of interest, does your husband like babushkas? They look good over short hair.

Babushkas?

I`m thinking little russian grandmother. LOL

Ok, give this poor girl a clue. How do I wear a Babushka?

My hair was mid/lower back before I had it cut.
I tend to be a bit chamelion like and want to constantly change my hair. At one point it was different every week and people at work were starting a betting pool on what it would look like the next week!
I went from long deep brown to long honey/light chestnut, to bleach blonde and long (which was aweful), then short blonde (still not what I needed), then bright red because the color was going onto bleach blonde hair, then copper and midlength, then used a rinse and went black mid-length, then short copper.

The stylist did a fabulous job on both my cut and color. I went shopping right afterwards and was complimented by one woman in a hip clothing store and then a guy in a music store. I was thinking I`ve finally found it! The holy grail of style.
he he
But the upkeep was over $100 a month (cool salon but pricey) and I couldn`t afford it.
Plus, hubby wanted me to grow it out again. It`s amazing how his opinion holds so much weight. I mean it`s MY hair....

Lucky this is the same wig that i bought for 28$ but mine is human hair. check the price of this one and its synthetic
