Can I wear wigs if I still have hair?

Alternative Hair Alchemist - A podcast about everything wigs, toppers and alternative hair!

This week I would like to address something that I pick up on from women who call the shop that want to come in and see about natural looking alternative hair but feel that because they have their own hair, they might be not allowed to come to the shop. It's something I never thought about until I noticed that many women seem to feel a sense of guilt/resistance/reluctance (or something?) about wanting to look and feel better in a luxury wig yet still have hair growing on their own head. So lets' address the most common concerns once and for all.

1.) Will it make my hair fall out?

No, wearing a wig that fits correctly won't make your hair fall out. In fact, when you take the pressure off of yourself because your own hair isn't growing fast enough to feel great about yourself, it can grow in a little faster.

2.) It's not like I have cancer or anything, is it ok if I come in for an appointment?

Certainly! Repeat after me: It is safe for me to wear alternative hair to look and feel good.

3.) Why is it more accepted in some circles to wear a wig but in others its not?

Because women themselves make it more of an issue than it has to be! If we could all get past making it mean something bigger than what it is, something that helps confidence and self esteem it will be more accepted.

If you look great, it doesn't matter if you grew it or you bought it.

Until next time...peace, love and alternative hair!
