Hi!

I was wondering about experiences with wigs? Specifically wearing them out and about.

Unfortuntely my hair is just terrible. Oiley as hell, and now I am balding to my horror lol. So wigs it is.

I have a cosplay type wig. Fantastic for reducing dysphoria and getting that euphoric feeling but its just impratical to wear on the train for example.

Anyone had success with them? Do synethic wigs work well or should I be looking for really high quality ones?

Why is it impractical to wear a wig on the train?

I have no experience wearing a wig when out and about tho, so I guess you can just ignore my reply if you want to.

But you can make a cheap syntetic wig look pretty good, here are a couple of vidoes by Brand Mondo.

Specifically talking about my cosplay wig. It looks obviously fake. Still debating how much I would care.

Those wigs on the vids look good! I'll have a look. Thanks
