Why I wear Wigs







One thing I get asked about is why do I wear wigs and there a several reasons why. I wear wigs as often as I can. Even during a no-makeup lazy day, I adore to wear them. My wig collection is ever growing but each of my wigs has had its equal sharing of use. Many of my friends, online and school, ask why do I wear wigs and I only ever give them one answer, because I can but there are more reasons for why;

Reason One: Cosplay

I do not have the perfect anime girl hair, not many people do. (if you are fortunate of this, I envy you incredibly) There are so many different characters with different styles, lengths and colour hair. It's simply impossible for anyone to have their own hair for Cosplay, unless you only focus on one character then by all mean, use your own hair. I plan on doing many characters meaning that wigs are the way for me. I currently have a Krul Tepes wig on the way which I'm waiting each day for it to arrive. Cosplay is something I've always been interested in and the outfit is never complete without the trusty wig

Reason Two: Safer for my hair

I'm incredibly indecisive about how I want my hair. Some days I want pastel, some days I want dark. Some days I want long hair, others I want the boy cut short. With wigs I can have that without any real effort. The numerous times I want to change my hair colour and length would be so unhealthy for my hair and wouldn't work with my indecisive ways. Wearing wigs means less commitment and less money. Pastel hair takes a lot of care and products to keep it healthy with bleaching so switching dying with wigs allows you to keep money in your pockets for other things. I consider myself lazy so the less effort I have to spend on my hair, the better

Reason Three: It's fun

Changing my style is something I find fun. I enjoy mixing things up, the fact I can have different lengths and styles every day of the week with minimal effort and money is something I enjoy and do regularly on non-school days. Plus it's always a bonus being able to laugh at myself every time I put a wig cap on. I have quite thin hair which I will admit, I am slightly ashamed of, so wearing a wig I can forget about this shame and rock a thicker hair style. As well as this, I have to have a shower every night or else my hair will look somewhat on the bad side, I can have a five minute body shower, get changed and throw on a wig to save time and money allowing me to skip all that time spent trying to make my hair appear somewhat decent



Wigs will always be one of my favourite accessories as they give me a chance to change up my style to fit my mood and what I'm doing that day. Admittedly wigs have been giving a bad reputation in the past however the repudiation is rapidly improving with more and more people wearing this. I'm going to say this, I am not saying you absolutely need to go out and buy a wig because that is the way you are living, I'm simply saying the reason I enjoy to wear wigs and the benefits I get out of them.

Adding to this, I often get asked, "do you feel the wig when it's on?" or "does it feel like you're wearing a hat?" The answer is no. When you are new to wearing wigs, it can feel slightly odd however it's a feeling you get used to and most of the time, you'll probably end up forgetting you are wearing one. If you are wearing a wig correctly it will be comfortable.

Hopefully this will give a little insight to why I wear them and if you have any questions leave them bellow
