When first experiencing hair loss, people can be very quick to say “Just wear the hair” ….
However, what people may not realize is that buying a wig AND wearing a wig are two very completely different things, and it can be nerve wracking to wear it out for the first, second or even third time!
If you're feeling nervous or self-conscious about wearing a wig for the first time, here are a few tips that may help boost your confidence:
- Make sure you choose a wig that fits comfortably and suits your style: Take your time to select a wig that fits well and feels comfortable on your head. Choose a style that matches your natural hair or try something new that you've always wanted to try. (That way if someone asks, you can just tell them you got your hair done/needed a change),
- Practice wearing your wig at home: Wear your wig at home for short periods of time to get used to how it feels and looks. This will also help you adjust to any changes in your appearance. Wear it around close friends and family, so you get comfortable with others seeing you with your new hair.
- Use wig accessories: Wig accessories like wig caps, wig grips and wig glue can help keep your wig in place and prevent any embarrassing mishaps. They can also help you feel more secure and confident when wearing your wig. However, as mentioned before, if you choose to use glue/adhesive, ensure to invest in a good solvent!
- Experiment with different looks: Don't be afraid to experiment with different hairstyles to find what works best for you. You may be surprised at how versatile wigs can be and how they can help you express yourself.
Remember, confidence comes from within, so embrace your new look and enjoy the transformation.
