I have just been reading some stuff that makes wearing a wig seem like the most scary thing in the world – oh what – it so is not! It feels no different from wearing a headband, a bandana, a hat or even sunglasses! I have worn a wig now every day for 4 or 5 years and never, but never, have I thought it might blow off, slip or do anything else embarrassing. If it was that bad then nobody would wear one and if that were true, why is there such a huge industry in wigs!
All the well made wigs come with adjustable hooks so that the wig cap can be made smaller if necessary and when mine starts to get a bit loose, as I have a tiny head, I simply put a few stitches in the back inside bit to tighten it again.
The only circumstance that I can envisage a wig coming off is if you snag it on a tree branch or if you dive off a board in a swimming pool or if you get your head lampooned on somebodys umbrella. In which case if all that happened is your wig came off, you’d count yourself lucky.
So stop fretting, you are perfectly safe wearing a wig and if you, like me, saw the Salon disasters on tv last night, you’d definitely choose a wig over a weave which pulled out and infected the poor girls scalp – Ouch! Ouch!
