Ladies, I have a couple of questions for you!
How are you choosing your wig styles? Do you think about your day/work style? Do you think about your social/private life appeal? Or want a whole new persona?
Are you wig(s) style close to your real hair (in color or texture) or close to your dream hair or just totally a random choice of color, style and texture?
After a year of playing around, I've basically figured out what works for me. I deal better with wavy hair and spiral curls. Shoulder length or shorter. I tried to a couple of straight, long haired wigs and they got on my dang nerves. I was so frustrated at work trying to deal with the hair going into my face. Anything past my shoulders will also annoy the crap out of me. I also get annoyed with bangs. So, it's all been a matter of trial and error. With color, I've been playing it safe with 1, 1b, and 2 recently. I did have a half wig streaked in burgundy that I LOVED! And one that was streaked with blonde. I have a love of red & burgundy hair.
I have been more cautious with color, because I was scared of looking "ghetto," but screw it. I like burgundy hair. The nice thing about wigs is that you can get one that looks professional for interviews and one that's a little crazy for whenever. The styles I've picked that I know won't annoy me are just the ones that catch my attention. I will say that I do pick longer hair for winter and shorter hair for summer.
I don't think any of my wigs look like my real hair or even what I'd like my real hair to look like. What's the fun in that?
I could write a whole essay on wigs. I think I just did, to be honest.
