I also wear wigs, I am not sure what is going on with people if they are laughing espeicially as most people are completely unaware that we are wearing wigs. Have you told peoole you are wearing a wig ? and they are looking out of curiosity ?

I think to set your mind at rest go on the www.wigsupport.com site, post a photo of you in the wig and ask the lovely ladies there for an honest opinion from fellow wigwearers.

I am sure you look lovely, my wigs are much nicer than my own bio hair ever was.

Hello 

If your hair looks like a wig...people will notice it.  Is that really a problem if you like your wig??? I don't know.  Do you talk to people and tell them you wear a wig or do you prefer to not talk about this???  All these things impact on how you want to handle everything.

People laughing and being unpleasant is never ok, so what needs to be worked out is how you want to handle this.  

I don't know you or fully understand how you are presenting yourself....doesn't really matter as long as you feel comfortable and have the tools to handle everything you are going through.  

I am a wig watcher, my daughter wears wigs.  As a wig watcher I see my daughter from every angle and in every situation. Whereas she see's herself in the mirror in the morning and that's about it.  I am not going to assume that people aren't looking if you feel they are.  If it is because of the hair you have chosen and that makes you uncomfortable ...possible a change may work for you. One of the biggest things I personally notice is the way the hair moves...or if it doesn't move.  People's growing hair moves in a certain way and many wigs don't mimic this very well...especially if they have wefts or handtieing...this is just my personal view but I think it valid to pass it on to you. This doesn't need to be an issue at all if you love you wig and the way it looks. :)

I've talked to many people over the years with regards to wigs, one of the things that many people hate is when talking to somebody and watching their eyes drift up to their hairline....it is uncomfortable and real.  

This is another thing I understand as truth...usually when somebody wears a wig they want to tell people when they feel comfortable ...not because it has been noticed or fallen off etc.... when those things happen people feel so terribly unempowered.  But when you feel confident in your hair of choice and it is doing all you need it to do your confidence will return and you will be empowered.

I believe you will look lovely...but I just don't know if this is working for you.

You have no idea what goes through peoples mind when they look at your wig.

Last time I got a new wig I was at the salon and I met someone there who was buying a wig but did not have hair loss and was not covering for religious reasons either. She told me that shes been noticing more and more people wearing wigs and they all look so pretty. She said she found that wigs are fuller and you can choose exactly how you want them to look (as oppose to hair which you are born with- you can't change it).

It really hit me then that I am just self conscious about my wig that I always think people are looking at me funny when really they might just be thinking that they think you look good.

Keep positive and walk with your head held high- your worth a whole lot more than your wig or your hair anyways.

As I looked for a name to put in my reply to you I noticed that yours is listed under "YOUAREBEAUTIFUL"! That is already self explanatory :-) Don't worry about the looks. Just know that they talked about Jesus so they will talk about you to. When you see someone laughing or looking just have confidence and know that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!! :-)
