Hi!

I was wondering about experiences with wigs? Specifically wearing them out and about.

Unfortuntely my hair is just terrible. Oiley as hell, and now I am balding to my horror lol. So wigs it is.

I have a cosplay type wig. Fantastic for reducing dysphoria and getting that euphoric feeling but its just impratical to wear on the train for example.

Anyone had success with them? Do synethic wigs work well or should I be looking for really high quality ones?

    I wear wigs. I feel very very sad about not being able to have lovely natural hair, but wigs have been a massively helpful thing for me. I currently have a bunch of cheap ones that I bought so I could find a style I liked, one day I will save up for a good one.

    I wore my cheap-ass wig to trans pride yesterday and loads of people complimented me on my hair. So far in my experience, cis men have no fucking clue it’s a wig, and the women that have noticed have just gone “hey girl nice wig” and talked about their hair extensions or whatever.

    I’d recommend you buy a bunch of cheap ones first, experiment before you commit to an expensive one, then you can go to proper place and have an appointment with a stylist and ask for exactly what you want.
