I'm not trans, but I have short hair that rarely grows. So I got a wig on a whim off amazon.

This is what it looks like

Second pic

I went to a party with this wig on, and to the mall. Everyone commented on how much they loved my hair and totally shocked it was a wig. Look up ways to make wigs look more realistic (powder, maintenance, etc).

Seriously, wigs are totally fine and there's a TON of them out there that look super realistic. Plus, there's many reasons people wear wigs other than balding issues, so it's nothing anyone would likely call you out on.

This was the wig I bought. Only 17 dollars on amazon. I had to style it a bit, and give it a big haircut (I'm really short, this was really long). There's a lot of great ones out there that aren't terribly expensive, and if you want to super invest, there's real-hair wigs as well.

It's never EVER too late. And transitioning before puberty would, unfortunately, not have stopped the male-pattern baldness enough. So take this chance to be exactly who you want to be. You only get one life, so live it exactly the way you want to.

I just recently started wearing wigs regularly, so here's what I have to offer that I've learned recently.

First of all, you'll need a wig comb and cap, so be prepared to have one of those. I put my hair in pin curls under the cap, then put the cap on so that my hair doesn't look like a wild mess when I take the wig off.

Kanekalon is the best wig fiber, and it's not expensive. The one I'm wearing now is one I got on Amazon for less than $20, and everyone compliments me on it.

So things you should know:

• The hair on a wig is meant to be cut and tailored to your face, so there's more hair than you'll need and it'll look weird. It won't ever look like the pictures, so be prepared to style it a little.
  
  
• This shit tangles easily, so be really careful and have a wig comb handy.
  
  
• Don't use regular hairspray or products on it. This is a fiber, not hair, so don't use normal hair things, or treat it like hair at all.
  

I ordered it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GR4L18/

It's pretty long, so I got it trimmed by my new favorite stylist :)

I have this one. People have thought it was my real hair and were surprised it was a wig.

The wig - highly recommend! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GR4L18/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had two. The first one was super long and curly can be found Here

The second one was a shorter, but just as curly. Can be found here

They are cheap. So they didn't look too real, but that may be because I was used to seeing my colored hair. I'll post some pics in a minute.

Alright, here are some pics. With a few added bonuses of some coworkers wearing the long one and looking like terrible drag queens.

The customer reviews/pictures really sold it for me.

142 rubber bands

You could buy 142 wigs, and then give them all ponytails! ;)

Congratulations on all the good things! Wasting time on Reddit is good, right? ;)

Pumpkin!

preference. I saw that my synthetic wigs/hair would always tangle, even after cleaning/shampooing them.

I usually buy from amazon off

it's good for the first month...then it soon goes down hill from there(heat,tangle,etc).

That looks really nice on you! I suggest pulling it down a little more. It should sit at the top of your pointer finger if you put your pinky finger at the bridge of your nose.

Have you tried it with a wig grip? I find I feel more comfortable and secure when I wear a wig grip under my wigs. They are pretty cheap on Amazon. Search on YouTube on how to make a wig smaller/tighter. There are lots of tutorials that show you how to make them feel more secure.

Also, Amazon has some really nice, inexpensive wigs. I have an "It's a Wig" Konis or Justine that's really nice for $30.

This one looks similar to your picture and has good reviews.

Thanks! I haven't advanced too far into makeup yet, so I'm just making sure I get a strong base down before trying to do anything else. My wig was from amazon. It's this one. It's been a decent wig so far. I'm saving up for a higher quality one, but I'd recommend it for a good starter wig.

Here's the thing about wigs: pick an appropriate and realistic style, color, and length given your clothing style, face shape, eyebrow color, and skin color, and you don't actually need to spend a ton of money. If something looks plausible, most people won't give it a second thought. The catch is that you might need to experiment a bit to get the right style. Get some cheap wigs off Amazon, borrow some from a friend, mess around with PhotoShop, (or do what I did and copy your sister's hairstyle).

This is a $14 synthetic wig for cosplayers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008GR4L18/ It happens to be the one I was wearing when I went in for my first HRT consult, during which I managed to surprise both my doctor and her intern by removing what they thought was my actual hair. I assumed a trans specialist who is herself trans would have seen enough wigs to immediately identify one, but nope.

Okay, so I've got a problem. I bought a wig but had to return it because it was too small. And I'm thinking that most wigs are going to be too small (hats never fit well). Measuring from my hairline to where my skull meets my spine is 62cm. Obviously this is going to drive the price up. I'm okay with a synth since I'll be wearing it 1-3 days a week. Curly/wavy brown, about 14-16 in. This is what I bought and I liked it but it was uncomfortably small. It hurt to wear and would start moving up my head since I have a large skull. I've tried looking but most places don't have an option to filter cap size or if they do, they only carry like four different wigs.

So, do you know of a shop that caters to big brained large skulled ladies?

It's a wig, I wish my hair was longer :3

Looks good for like 2-3 months then time to get a new one. It's so cheap I don't care. Even if my real hair takes 6 months to grow in .. that's still only $32.

I also used my friends referral code to save $5.

Unfortunately I am wig-less... Though this wig looks really nice! (I've never had long hair before)
Your wig looks really nice + your eyes are amazing! :)

Cheap & easy to come by
