    Default know anything about wigs?

    Hi, I'm just getting started as a dancer, and I've got a question about hair. I love my super-short cut, but from what I've seen, long hair is more popular. I'm thinking about getting a wig, and wondered if anybody had any advice.

    Is real hair better than synthetic?

    Is it safe to buy a wig online?

    How much care does a wig need, and how easy is it to style?

    How much should I spend?

    Does hair really make a big difference, or am I getting hung up about nothing?

    Thanks for your advice. You ladies know a lot!

    Yeah, I would like to know people's opinions on this also. I have very short hair that I think is sexy, but I've been toying with the idea of trying out a wig, just to see what sort of reaction I get.

    Hey guys. I have very long hair and don't personally wear a wig, but I have a friend who has beautiful, curly, short hair. She wears them all the time. She changes colors and styles practically every week and the guys LOVE it! She is latin and they love her long blonde hair, but she actually has some short wigs too. She does spend a lot of money on quality wigs, but she says that only a few of them are real hair. The synthetic ones stay soft and silky looking. They usually have clips attatched on the inside to clip onto her real hair and then she flips them over. I'll have to ask her where she gets them.

    Thanks. I also did a search and checked out the Toni line over at hsn.com. They look pretty good and are reasonably priced.

    You know...almost every dancer I know has long hair...it's because they like long hair. I do know a few dancers who have short hair...and they do very well...because some guys like short hair. You need to do what you will feel most comfortable doing. If you think that wearing a long haired wig will be what you want, then invest in a wig that uses real human hair (guys like putting their hands in your hair) and make sure that you get the fit right so it doesn't come flying off (I've seen that before, too). the wigs also tend to become very hot (from the hair net and all)

    The human hair wig is much more expensive...but better for styling and looking "real".

    I use to wear a wig, a synthetic wig it was the best but since it was my first wig i didn't take care of it very well i didn't know how so it got kinda ugly at the end. I would definitely recommend a wig. i would still wear one but my hair is growing the only reason why i started wearing one is because i wanted to go blond and damaged my hair and had to get a boy cut.

    Try doing a google search for quinnsters hair extensions. That page has a great forum and categorys for things most people wouldn't even consider attaching to thier heads! Plus everyone is really helpful and you could save money and find out how to make your own wig or put loose extensions and such in! Just don't be turned away by the not so normal hair on the pages!

    Ok, I just ordered a hairpiece from wigs.com. As soon as I try it out I'll post a review here.

    Just in case anybody else is interested....

    www.internationalwigs.com has relatively cheap human and synthetic wigs. They also do ebay auctions, so you might be able to get a bargain.

    This page --
    http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/...ntro.htm#Intro
    -- has a really great guide to wearing, adjusting, and altering wigs. Actually, the site seems to be about how to make yourself look like one of the elf characters from Lord of the Rings....!?!?!...but the information is pretty good.

    Just thought I'd share what I found out!

    www.headcovers.com has reasonably priced wigs. Much cheaper than www.wigs.com and the same brands.
