My hair loss started in my early teens. I love the way that wigs look, but I’ve learned that I can’t wear them all the time.
I own a handful of synthetic wigs. Each is a fixed style and contains low-heat or no-heat fibers. In the summer, my wigs practically cook on my head. I don’t know how women wear wigs in high heat. I really find it so uncomfortable and damaging to my wigs. Someday I’d like to purchase a heat tolerant or natural fiber wig. Until then, I’ll continue to wear a bandana, hat or hoodie.
I envy women who can wear wigs as their own hair. I’m not sure if I’ll ever reach that level of comfort.
