I buy wigs and messy buns now a days. Do you?

My hair is about the same color and length as Holly's, but Covid thinned it quite a bit so I cut a few inches off, while the thickness returns and catches up to the ends. You can see the new hair all around my hairline -- it looks like I cut bangs!

I think fake buns and pony tails are a great idea for most people but I've never liked the way I look with my hair pulled back so it's out for me.

Also, while Holly's hair is lovely and silky, mine is more wild and crazy, hippy hair. One little boy at church turned around and asked me if I was a witch. He looked really disappointed when I said no.
 
In the late 60's, I wore a hair-piece under my own hair, to give some height. My sister had a short wig, but didn't wear it often. One time, in Adelaide, a woman was trying on a wig and it looked so good that I had to tell her. I think she was embarrassed, but, it truly made her look like an altogether different person.

oh bless you, .. my hair is long, but it;s verrry fine, so it really can;t hold a style... I'd cut it short, which I've done a few times over the years, but I really don't suit it.. so I do worry about the mutton dressed as lamb look with my long hair... .I do wear it up a lot
Incidentally in that avatar my hair looks silvery grey.. it;s just the light, my hair is dark blonde.....

I knew your's was blonde Holly! Mine is either platinum blonde or golden blonde depending on which box I pick up at the grocery store.

haha..I've bought the occasional colour to put on mine and I get pot luck, sometimes the blonde turns my hair darker than my own colour ...:eek:. My hair is very porous so in summer , it gets extremely light very quickly from the sun
 
I had a couple of wigs in the late 60s early 70s. I loved them because back then people would tease their hair and use a gallon of hairspray to get the perfect look and it took forever.
After my kids were born they put them to good use. They used them for Halloween.
My daughter on the left actually won the prize for best costume. She looked better in the wig than I ever did. lolWendy and Roy.JPG
 
I used to wear wigs when I was in my 30's because sometimes it was a chore trying to do my hair and get to work. One time when I was wig shopping, the owner of the store asked me why in the world I needed a wig with all the hair I had. LOL After awhile I got tired of them. Question: What is a "messy bun"?
 
I ordered several top pieces to try this week. Autoimmune issues over the past couple of months have really taken a toll on my hair thickness. I've always had very thick hair so still have enough to style but I'm afraid of getting to the point that the loss will show.

I bought this one which is a little more straight than my natural curl but is very close to my color, length and cut. I like that it has a messy style look and since it's a top piece, it can be twisted up in the back which I do often.

The piece clips over your natural hair.
