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?

The really high quality wigs are worth it imo. I have a synthetic one and it has been holding up really well. Depending on if you have a doctor or not, you might even be able to get it paid for by insurance or a healthcare system or whatnot.

Synthetic wigs are a bit cheaper but the natural human hair ones can be styled with irons and washed with normal shampoo. I have a specific shampoo for synthetic wigs but I might be wrong about if I actually need it or not.

I can wear mine everyday and it's not uncomfortable. I have yet to experience it over the summer though and I don't expect it to be super comfortable with the sweat and my growing natural hair underneath too.

I've been very successful with my wig. It's incredible because otherwise I wouldn't have socially transitioned for another year.
