Weeping Sore Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Most people take the long, arduous process of growing out their hair to change the look of their tresses, perhaps dying or bleaching to make a change. Then you've got all that crazy washing and conditioning to do. Why not just collect wigs? Your hair can look totally different every day (or night) of the week. What's holding everybody back? Let's be wig-positive! Who's with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Fool Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 As a wig manufacturer, I approve of this message. Also it's not a wig so much as actual human hair. And not so much manufacturing as harvesting. Yay wigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless your bed is in my basement. And it isn't, I don't allow them beds down there, it ruins the hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Of House Hill Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Two reasons. First, I don't want to change my hair style/length/color on a day to day basis. Second, I prefer that everything people see, is actually me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you systematizing your inventory of hair? Each strand hanging from individual clothespins, or just a huge, swirling nest for you to burrow in for warmth?

Second, I prefer that everything people see, is actually me. But if you dye your hair, is that "actually" your own hair? They're seeing brown, its really red or whatever - what they see is not hardcore you. As to your first objection, you could buy a wig for every day! Endless variety of style, length and color, more than enough to suit your needs. Buy wig today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I prefer that everything people see, is actually me. It seems like there was something of a wig craze for women from the late 50s to early 70s. I'm not sure why we should see it as fundamentally different than any other type of apparel or ornament. That is, if you're not a full-on naturist (i.e., nudist) I don't why it's objectionable. Other than, you know, you like your real hair. ETA: Though I can see a difference between a wig that is obviously artificial and one that could plausibly be the wearer's real head of hair, as the latter could be read as some kind of deception. Just as you might compliment someone on a well-selected shirt or skirt, you could compliment them on a well-chosen, fashionable wig. Why should the protein strings anchored in the scalp's living follicles be so privileged in our esteem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Fool Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Wigs are not just for gals, either. Now the guys can experience the excitement of the wig! Wigs for everybody! Do you have parents? Of course you do! Get them some wigs, that'll make them happy even though you're a bit of a disappointment to them. I mean, they know about wigs: if you don't get them wigs, they'll be even more disappointed. What, do you just not love your parents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Fool Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Aren't you forgetting the link to your kickstarter? Sorry, I was distracted. There was a ... knock at the door? so I had to go and... pay them money, or whatever. That happens, right? Ha ha, I am totally a normal wig maker and my inventory is growing daily!

Theda Baratheon Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I have seriously been considering investing money in buying some nice wigs - i cut and change my hair more often and it never grows long - would like to get a nice pretty long black wig tbh see what I'd look like with it.

paddington Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Lost most of my own hair, never really considered a wig. I just shave the remaining off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli Fury Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've worn a lot of wigs for photo shoots and they are absurdly hot and uncomfortable and you can usually tell it's a wig by the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summah Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Agreed wigs are quite uncomfortable, and if you have long, thick hair arranging it under a wig so there are no bumps can be time consuming, different textures require different techniques. I think a wash n go is less time consuming and less effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
