Yes,I wear them all the time due to lupus induced alopecia and the meds we take. Everybody wears wigs,most of the people you see on TV are wearing wigs to protect their hair from styling, the length or thickness. Marie Osmond wears wigs all the time on the commercials you see on TV. I say for it,I order mine onlineπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

I take biotin along with a multivitamin to prevent breakouts,I use the store brand and notice it helps to slow the hair loss. My hair is too thin to wear it out or in a ponytail without a wide headband or scraf. The hair clips put too much tension in my hair,so its more harm then good. I buy most of my wigs online,I have a few lace front human hair I found on clearance for like 60.00 and in the beauty supply stores. Its best to shop around. Always remember, your not your hair, your still beautiful. Hugs&Blessings

I haven't had to wear wigs I just do, because after years of wearing a relaxer and then being told by my doctor that if I didn't want to lose my hair I should stop I just couldn't handle wearing my natural hair. Plus it's just easy to put it on and take it back off and they come in so many different styles. I probably have at least 7 right now and planning to go look on the shelves for my next look. They're great when you're just not feeling your best and you have to go out for the day.
