Wigs versus lace with natural hair and extensions


Michelle F

Recommended Posts

Ok... I am bald.

LoL I live in the deep desert. Cochella Valley's Summer temps average 110°.

Last year it hit 122° in June.

 

I have heard that full wigs are very hot. Is it same with lace?

I have never worn lace, so I can't answer your second question, Michelle.  The answer to the first question is, yes.  Which is one reason I've always worn short hair wigs.  They still get hot, but not as bad as long hair, and you can get them a lot shorter than mine.

 

Natural hair wigs won't be as hot, but I have heard that they are harder to take care of, more expensive (not that synthetic is cheap, mind you) and don't last as long.  My mono-filament wigs have lasted me around five years.  I have two, so I can switch them out frequently.

The lace wigs are just a little hotter because they hold the hair wefts closer to your head and do not wick perspiration as well as the standard ones do.  They are not fully lace, only the front and the hair part.  As @Carolyn Marie says the human hair wigs are a bit less heat trapping than the synthetic ones.  Get a good HH wig if you go that way and it will last quite a long time.  For your area though, a baseball cap with an ice bag inside would be my choice.

I don't think ANYTHING can be comfortable where you live Michelle.  We were just in that area this past weekend and towards the afternoon, I got a little toasty.  And it was very moderate temperature-wise for this time of year.  Vicky may have had the best suggestion.

There are often times when i work on the farm when wearing a wig is simply painful.  Between the heat, dust and work i soak them and myself.  When it gets too bad i use a bandana to wrap my head and wear a broad brim UPF 50 hat if i'm in the sun.  Being bald makes life difficult but after the years pass i'm just used to it.

 

Hugs,

Thanks for all your replies...

 

I got a wig that matches where my hair was when I was active in rock playing live 35 years ago... Since Demonizing I could actually pull off a convincing Jamis Joplin shtick. Check this out!

I am finding my years as a chef have conditioned myself for this extreme heat. I was 112° today and I tolerated the wig all day...

This newest one is Brazillian Remy human hair. Also it's my natural color.

 

OMG... I just realized - I look like a younger version of my Mother! I used to look like my father. Hmmm!!!

 

That's just weird!

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course

      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
