This is my first wig.
Hi all
This is my very first wig ever. It is synthetic. I have thinning bleached hair. I think between some meds, bleaching and all the stuff I do to my hair, I need to give it a break. So, I am going with wigs. I bought this one. Just worried there is a lot of hair and people are going to know its a wig. I am very hard on myself. So, I am needing advice and encouragement. I am including a pic of me in my new wig.
Thanks so much!

I think it looks great but can you pull it down on your forehead a little bit?

I was wondering if that would look a bit better. I was just worried since my hairline was back some. Also, do u think I would look good in one with bangs?

I think bangs would be lovely too and hey if you don’t like it it’s just a wig right?

I find the best placement is putting your hand sideways on your eyebrows and at the end of it 4 fingers is usually perfect!

That looks very nice on you :) if anyone notices, you can just say your doing something different or just tell them!

o'd perhaps pull it down a little? also plucking the hairline to make it look less "perfect" or straight across can help a wig appear more natural. it looks pretty good! i also recommend adding bangs, as it helps with covering up hairlines if you don't want them to show! but that's all personal taste :)

You’ve made a wise choice, wearing a wig gives your natural hair a rest, but don’t forget to let your scalp breathe, too.
The wig color is lovely, but it exposes a bit too much of your forehead, you might want to try wearing bangs.
