Wig Messed Up In The Wind

[Guest Krisina]

I have a monofilament wig. I noticed the other week when it was really windy when I got back in my car my hair looked like a mess. I was wondering if there are different hairstyles that would work better such as straight.  I was also wondering if I had a human hair wig if I wouldn't have this problem.  I have  wavy hair in the bob style.

I want to keep using a monofilament type of wig btw.

I wear my own hair and the wind does a number on it as well.

There is only one cure for what the wind does to hair and that is to build a biosphere of hairspray around it, sort of a force field or helmet around you, I just let mine blow and brush it when I get inside, it is so much better for the hair and you can actually comb through it.

Love ya,

I find this very odd because synthetic hair DOESN'T blow in the wind the same way that human hair does.

I agree with sally's hairspray helmet, but I also think you should be like most women and just let it happen! Wind is wind, and everyone has had a bad hair day because of it.

I'm a naturally curly girl, so I can relate to the gnarled mess. I usually straighten my hair, though.

My hair is longer and wavy almost to the point of being curly, and I don't use a wig. I also have a convertible which tangles my hair terribly, with the top down, unless I tie it back in a pony tail, and use clips on the side.

To make sure it it doesn't tangle in a pony, I loop the pony tail end back and put it under the tie.

I have seen women in convertibles wearing head scarves or a baseball cap

Otherwise, afterward - get a detangler comb - sit it front of the TV - spend a couple of hours to straighten it out. GRIN

Thermoplastics!

I have a couple of wigs that I wear on occasion and i HATE when the wind messes them up....

Like Sally said...hairspray works pretty well qs does a scarf...(I hate both.)

So, I just keep brushing it out when I go from car o building...etc....

Krisina: I have a relatively short wig, and it still gets messed up in the wind. That's fine withe me, though, as it looks like any other head of hair on a windy day. Hey, I'm just glad it stays on my head.

It's ironic; I've been fishing most of my life, and monofilament is ingrained in my head as fishing line. Now I'm wearing it on my head. Strange world.

Hairspray all the way. Seriously, there's nothing like those delightful frontal hairline recessions to screw up your day. Until I get mine styled, I'm pretty much going to wear it in a pony tail because it being all one length brings out the worst aspects of my face otherwise. The fringes blow all over the place without hairspray.

And in New York, the wind NEVER STOPS!!!!
