I wear wigs 
Mine managed to slip off when I was having sex with my ex.  In retrospect it might be why he never called me again (just joking I told him to piss off and delete my number). Its never happened with a client thank goodness.

Wearing wigs and making them seem natural really depends on your face shape, face features, hairline and what cut you go for.

You can choose between human hair and synthetic wigs.

i) The most natural looking synthetic wigs I have found are ones with a fringe. You can get those to have a silk top/plastic which looks just like your scalp.
I would steer well away from jet black (colour 1 in most hair shops) or crazy mixes of colours in these types of wigs as they tend to look really shiny and wiggish. Dark brown (almost black, they go brown in the sun) or brunette colours look really good and you can pass them of as your own natural hair. They shed quite a lot as well.

ii) Another option is half wigs. These are hard to explain! Google/youtube them. If you have enough hair in the front of your head these are a great option and can look super natural, you can get them in synthetic form or human hair (but human hair is rare to find)

iii)Human hair wigs are the more versatile option but in all honesty they're a bit harder to find unless they're lace wigs and they tend to be a great deal more expensive! 
You an again find the wig in a fringe form as they look super natural

Or you can get a lace wig or a wig made with a closure and bundles.
For closure lace wigs check out philiperichair on instagram/twitter and youtube. He makes the best wigs i've seen though he is a bit pricey and I'm sure he can work with all races/ hair types.  (I hope this won't come up when people google his name??)
Lace wigs are not really my cup of tea because as stated above it takes a lot of work to make them look natural.


I've never tried eBay for wigs in all honesty.
I don't want anything I couldn't physically see and try on to see if it suits me. Especially if you want it to look natural!
The best places to go are to afro caribbean hair stores. I know Peckham rye and Harlesden in London. (Sorry if you are not from here!). Paks as stated above is good. They have a lot of variety.
You can try amazon as well! Just check the reviews.

A good way to secure the wig to your head is:

i) The elastic band method (youtube it and be careful as the constant rubbing of the elastic band can degrade your hair line)
ii) Buy wig clips or wig combs and sew them on (just be careful because these can rip out your natural  hair!!!!)
iii) Use bobby pins to secure it (I use this:)


Sorry if this wasn't helpful! If you have more specific questions just ask away!

haha you and me both. Had tons of problem finding the right size fit. 


That reminds me, I do find that wearing wigs that are slightly snug (not enough to give you a headache) helps it lay flatter on your head and keeps it on way better!

Also U part wigs are a option. Most natural wig type.

I've merged this with the most recent of the relevant threads, although there are others. It's a lot more common than you might think, from the look of things .

Thanks Amy, I didn't expect so many people to wear them!

It sounds like there is a lot of trial and error involved, I'm no good at hair styling and am fed up with dying my hair, my plan is to have it cut into a very, very, very short pixie as soon as I have enough natural hair showing, then use wigs to stop me freezing to death until it's grown!

Any more advice, tips and recommendations please keep them coming.

I've thought about wearing wigs too, but like a few on here, would worry it would come off, especially as I have a few clients who like to run their fingers through my hair.

What do you reckon about this one - suitable for AW profile to hide my identity??

Poor attempt at humour  joking apart though, I am (as I type), simultaneously shopping on amazon for wigs, so will keep you posted

I'm considering wearing wigs to give my hair a break from these weaves.

Today I cut my hair into a short bob and went and bought four wigs. I went to a lady who specialises in trimming them to get the fringes shortened. (Fringe wigs usually have very long fringes that will tickle  your nose until you trim them.)

I really like them!

I did it because I'm sick of dying my hair dark and now I can strip it and go a bit lighter and eventually grow in something more natural with highlights to blend in the grey. Also, I think I'll be more anonymous. I show my face in photos and now in "real life" I can wear my short, lighter bob with spectacles and not feel paranoid at the school gates! My oldest is now in high school and while I can't guarantee he wouldn't recognise me, at least it's unlikely his mates or parents of his classmates would.

I wear a halo,
And clip in extensions round the side.
It's strong and doesn't come off.
I bought a wig but was so paranoid about it coming off, plus it did look quite fake.
