If you have never tried wearing a wig, you should give a wig a try. Wigs aren't just something costumey that you wear on Halloween, they can be for any day of the year, and for any occasion. Some people think wigs are only for those going through a cancer treatment or who have bad hair or for a certain race, but there are plenty of people with perfectly healthy hair (or not) that wear wigs all the time. Why should you give wigs a try...let's see...
1. You are considering getting a dramatic hair cut
You can give those computer hair simulators a try all you want, but they can't really give you the full effect of what a new hair cut will look like on you the way a wig can. If you have just been hesitant to chop it all off, or cut off some length, try a wig first. You can see people's reactions to the cut, ask whether they like it on you or not, or decide for yourself if YOU like it on you before ever fully committing to someone chopping it off. With a wig, you can try the style before committing and there are no regrets if you don't like it. Also you can take a picture with you in the wig to the stylist and show them literally what you want. Heck, bring the wig in with you! (And yes the photo above is a wig).
2. You're busy
When you've especially got a lot of hair, a lot to do, maybe college, maybe some kids--it can be absolutely time consuming to have to do your hair all the time for work, school, events, etc. Wigs come pre-styled, and take only a few minutes to put on, and you're out the door.
3. You want to dye your hair
Hair dyes can be damaging to the hair and if you are the type to like to switch it up frequently, you run the risk of your hair getting majorly messed up. A wig allows you to wear all the color you want and change your mind from day to day, hour to hour if you want without touching a strand of your hair with more chemicals.
4. Waiting for your hair to grow is taking too long
Just because you cut your hair doesn't mean you are stuck with that cute pixie for the next however long it takes you to grow it out. If you want some long luscious locks, or a sweet curly do, experiment with wigs while you wait for your own hair to reach the length you want it.
5. You like saving money
Even if you buy a more expensive, say, $100 wig, if you wear it twice, or even once, you've saved more money with the wig than going to a salon and having your hair done from wash to style. If you have a lot of events to attend in a year where you need a fancy hairstyle, that one wig or two or three will more than pay for themselves.
6. You like to constantly change up your style
Style doesn't have to just end with clothes and accessories, it can change with your hair too. If you like to experiment with your look or are trying to achieve a certain look, a wig can help you get there. Look at how dramatically the look of just one person changes just with a set of wigs as in the picture above.
7. A medical condition has affected your hair
Cancer, alopecia, certain medications, even genetics can affect your hair in very dramatic and often traumatizing ways especially for women who are known for having hair and lots of it. A wig can help you get through and/or accept your condition by allowing you to still be able to enjoy a head full of hair.
8. You want an easy make-over
Notice how whenever you see a make-over on tv, 100% of the time, the stylists tackle the hair first? Hair is one of the absolute first things we notice about a person and sometimes through our own neglect or laziness, we sort of let ourselves, and our hair go. A wig can freshen up your look without again, having to commit 100% to a new style. A wig can also take years off, especially if you've sort of got a lot of greys or thinning hair and you are not a fan of hair dye, a wig can give you a full head of your natural color hair without much effort.
9. You have hair envy
Maybe you've admired someone you know or a celebrity hairstyle your whole life, but your hair just won't do what their hair does no matter how hard you try. Why not try a wig instead? Most celebs actually rock a lot of wigs because of all the damage constantly having to switch up hairstyles would actually do to their real hair. You don't have to just envy someone elses hair, you can literally go buy their style and try it for yourself.
10. You've damaged your hair
There comes a point sometimes, where there is no saving your hair. It's stringy, it's fried, your split ends have traveled up the shaft, dye has damaged it, or maybe you just got the worst hair cut in history. Once you chop away all that mess, it's a good idea to wear wigs as a source of protective styling. You can do whatever you want to your "hair--cut, color, curl, straighten" with the aid of a wig while you allow your own strands underneath to grow without doing any damage to them.
