First time wearing a cosplay wig, and gave myself traction alopecia (aka I got a bald spot)
Comicon was 3 weeks ago, and about a week ago, I noticed this bald spot after a shower. Turns out when my scalp started feeling like it was on fire for 5 hours straight, I should have tried to adjust the wig. Looks like I’ll be rocking a side part for the foreseeable future. It was about the size of a bean a week ago, and now it’s this size. Fingers crossed it doesn’t keep getting bigger. At least it’s less noticeable if I color in the bald spot with brown eyeshadow. I really hope it grows back. submitted by /u/LibraryObjective2328 to r/Wellthatsucks [link] [comments]

RUN, don’t walk, to buy this wig!!!
Oh my gosh, to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this wig would be an understatement! It’s Rohan by Amore in the color ginger brown, and it’s on flash sale right now at Chiquel. Normally $300, right now you can get it for like $165. I sent this picture to my husband to show off the wig (it’s VERY similar in color and texture to my thinning bio hair) and he just thought I did my hair and took a cute selfie. The cap is super comfy and lightweight too. If you like short-medium length wavy styles, this one is a must have! submitted by /u/rpfuntimes86 to r/Wigs [link] [comments]

Family noticed it was a wig immediately
So I wore a wig for the first time in public (it’s Jon Renau’s Karlie in shaded peach) yesterday and today for a funeral on my husband’s side of the family. I found out afterwards that my mother-in-law asked my husband if I was wearing a wig. (With good intentions. But. Knowing she guessed so quickly is a bit of a stab to the heart.) Admittedly I wasn’t super careful. The person who styled my wig for me showed me that although she’s white like me, she wears a brown wig cap/grip thing. I assumed that was to match the dark hair of the wig, so I thought, “Oh, then maybe I should just skip the wig cap so my dark auburn hair is all that shows?” So that’s what I did. Now I feel this panic and pressure—“every time I see my in laws now, I need to wear the wig, otherwise it’ll be way too obvious I was wearing a wig, but apparently it’s already obvious—“ Maybe it was all the hugs and my head feeling lumpy that gave me away. Maybe the hair was too shiny? Maybe I should have put concealer on the part in case the knots looked dark further back on my head? Maybe it was the ear tabs being chunky? (I can’t put hair behind my ears now because it looks so lumpy.) Advice is appreciated! submitted by /u/PlatypusDouble2331 to r/Wigs [link] [comments]

Whenever I put on one of my wigs I feel like they sit in a way that they look bigger and my head looks smaller and it's very obvious that it's a wig.

Finally wore my new wig to work
I’ve been struggling with hair thinning and loss for years now which has taken a huge hit on my self esteem. I recently got this wig (hairvivi, Rylee, 16”) and last week I finally found the courage to wear it daily, even at work. Not sure what I was worried about - everyone at my office gave compliments and their support. Others outside of work don’t even notice I’m wearing one. Instead of feeling self conscious about whether my scalp is showing, I now walk around with boosted confidence. Just want to say thank you to everyone in this group for sharing their own experiences, wig reviews and tips - you’ve helped to make this process a lot less intimidating for amateurs like myself! :) submitted by /u/dubessa to r/Wigs [link] [comments]

AITA for telling my son's African American girlfriend that she can a wig even if my son doesn't want her to ?
I'm (37f) a white woman, out of my depth on this topic, and too scared to ask anyone who is African American face-to-face. My son's (14m) first girlfriend is an African American girl (13f), who we'll call Nina. Usually, when I see her, she's a bubbly social butterfly. She smiles a lot and is very talkative. Recently, I noticed Nina seeming less confident the times I see her. Her change in demeanor was the most noticeable change but I also noticed the recent lack of wig, makeup, and jewelry. I didn't even realize the two things were connected. One day, I was to drive them to a party. My son was upstairs and Nina was downstairs. She looked like she was dreading going to this party, and I asked her what's wrong. She said she doesn't feel pretty. I asked her why and she said she's still getting used to showing her natural hair. I asked her if she feels uncomfortable showing her hair, why is she doing it. She said my son thinks she looks cooler this way. I told her I used to do things just to impress boys when I was her age. I told her she can wear a wig even if my son doesn't want her to. Days later, I've never seen my son more angry with me than that day. He said I'm a white woman and I shouldn't be advising a black girl how to look. He said called me an overhearing mom and a Karen. I was too shocked to speak as I never seen him so angry. Am I the asshole ? submitted by /u/AntTiny890 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Can we please do a thread on best places to get wigs based on your experience
Hey y’all , Looking for recommendations for wigs. I have never worn a good wig in my life lol. It’s a combination of me not knowing how to style/install them and always having the unfortunate luck of buying low quality wigs (I always get scammed). Attending a wedding in a few days and looking to try something new and feel pretty. I always wear black wigs but I was thinking of a little color this time, something like honey chestnut. Do you have any recommendations for good quality wigs? Preferably pre-plucked with bleach knots (only because every time I try to do it myself, it’s a disaster) I’m dropping some photos below of an instagrammer that i follow that always slays her wigs…but no matter how many times I, or anyone else, ask her, she refuses to drop her source. She has literally said she’ll never share her source. Thanks! submitted by /u/mediconscious to r/blackladies [link] [comments]

How much better are expensive wigs really?
I'm a daily wearer of full lace wigs and find them to be extremely hit or miss from where I'm ordering them (Michelle's Wig Closet, approximately $650 for long length and increased density). A few have been incredible quality and a few have been abysmal (much drier and more prone to tangling) Is that just the nature of wearing human hair wigs since not all hair is the same? I could afford to order something more in the 1-2K range but I'm concerned it would be just as hit or miss due to that. Are there any wig companies anyone could recommend that are consistent in hair quality? submitted by /u/harlequindolly to r/Wigs [link] [comments]
