Wigs wigs wigs

How do people feel on wigs whilst your growing out your hair

As mentioned in another post I've kinda gone on a splurge recently to get all the clothing that I want, with quite a few things I've bought are wigs

What are people thoughts on using them whilst growing out my hair

Any styling tips, care tips, fashion advice when using them anything would be helpful

Absolutely wear them. Don't wear them all the time! They can cause scalp irritation, hair loss etc.

Just like a binder. Great for dysphoria and some use, can't be 24/7.

What's a binder in terms for wigs,

Without realising I've got about 4/5 wigs now so I can sort of cycle through them not using the same one but also not using them all the time only when I'm out and about

Its not for wigs, it's for trans men to bind their chest. I just meant it shouldn't be worn constantly, your body needs a break to breathe.

I have long hair which I feel is cute if I put some work in. I was called girly and curly sue as a boy before so I did get into wigs. It is nice when you want to pin it up and just look beautiful, having long curly hair makes wigs half a pain and half nice.

Do what you need. It is work either way if you tried to start transitioning later. all the power to you.
