Frequently Asked Questions about Wearing a Wig

Frequently Asked Questions about Wearing a Wig

I get asked questions all the time by friends and family,
by wig wearers and non wig wearers so I thought I would share a couple of my thoughts . . .

Do you sleep in your wig?

No No NO!! The best part about wearing a wig all day is that you get to take it off at night. Remember those hot stuffy nights in bed and your hair begins to knot around your sticky neck which just makes you even hotter? Say goodbye to them! As much as I love having a head full of glamorous locks by day, after a long day of work, there’s no better relief than whipping that wig off and giving your scalp a good scratch! The way I describe it is like taking your bra off after a long day and jumping in to your PJs.

How often do you wash your wig?

I honestly don’t think there is a right or wrong answer to this. I have a wardrobe full of boxes of wigs now, and for me it all depends on how much I wear the wig, when I wear the wig and the current condition of the wig. For example, after a tough session at the gym I’ll wash the wig the same night, or I can wear a wig for 7 days straight before washing it. Don’t overdo it though and make sure you use wig shampoo and revitaliser.

What do you do on holiday?

Wig Holiday

This was a massive challenge for me when I first went on a girl’s holiday wearing a wig, but with experience and a growing collection of fabulous wigs I recently resorted to taking a case full!! Ok well I didn’t go overboard, but I tend to save a tired or old wig, to take on holiday for beach and swimming days. There is absolutely no reason why you can’t enjoy a dip in the pool like everyone else and if you use my wig tape tips, then you will have nothing to worry about. Then at night, wear an alternative wig, choose your favourite look and dress to impress! Simple!

I hope that you can find some comfort in my journey and my stories, but most of all I hope that you can learn to love wearing wigs as much as I do. If my hair was to fully grow back again, I’m not actually sure what I would do with it! My advice, is if you’re doubting yourself, please, please visit Simply Wigs,

I promise you will come away with a smile on your face and luscious locks to die for!

  1. Hello Steph
    Thanks for all your tips! Just wanted to ask one question ………. when going on holiday wearing your wig, do you worry that the metal ear tabs (I’m sure they’re metal) may set off the security alarms? !!! funny question I know but it’s something that concerns me.

  2. Hi Vix, the brunette wig is Sunflower from natural Collection in Light Brown. I’ve posted the link here.
    Unfortunately, the lace front wig which I was wearing in the water was a discontinued wig which was gifted to me, but I’m sure the Simply Wigs team will be able to find you a great alternative. xx

  3. Hi Steph, which wig are you wearing here and which one are you wearing when in the water? Love Vix

  4. It’s so lovely to read about other ladies that wear wigs, I’ve been wearing wigs for 40 yrs now! The wigs have improved so much over last few years and we have a lot more of a choice to choose from!! The first wigs that I wore were from Natural Image….I think I’ve worn most of the range from the past! Rene of Paris and Noriko are excellent quality, but I have petite head so always had to sew inside to make them smaller!!!!
    But now discovered a new wig from Natural Image called Impact and I’m so please with it , petite size too!
    Have fun wearing your wigs ladies
