Being asked if your wig is real can be uncomfortable, especially when you’re new to wearing wigs. Wigs, whether human hair or synthetic, are more than just a cover for thinning or balding spots—they boost confidence and reflect your personality. Both men and women can have wigs that look completely natural, making it surprising when someone questions if it’s your real hair.
Responding to ‘Are You Wearing a Wig?’ and ‘Is That Your Real Hair?’
Main Contents
1. ‘Yes, it is my hair. Isn’t it beautiful?’
When someone asks if it’s your real hair, respond confidently. Be proud of your wig! Most people don’t intend to be rude, but it can feel that way. So, answer with confidence: ‘Yes, it is my hair. Isn’t it beautiful?’.
Just like a car, phone, or clothes you buy, your wig is yours. You spent time choosing between a synthetic or human hair wig, deciding on the wig cap construction, style, length, and color. You look amazing, so be proud of your hair.
2. ‘Why do you ask?’
If a close friend or family member asks if you’re wearing a wig, you can ask them why they’re curious. They probably think your wig looks fantastic and natural! They might have noticed a recent hairstyle change or be surprised you’re wearing a wig. Sometimes, people are just interested in wigs and might even ask where you bought it.
If a colleague or stranger asks, you can choose your response tone. You could joke and laugh it off or be direct and explain that their question is very personal.
3. ‘Yes, I am, and here’s why…’
If a family member, friend, colleague, or stranger asks if you’re wearing a wig and you feel comfortable, you can respond with, ‘yes, and here’s why…’. Share how your wig boosts your confidence and makes you feel secure.
You don’t have to explain your natural hair story. It’s your hair, your wig, and you control the conversation. Remember, you don’t owe anyone an explanation unless you choose to share.
4. ‘Why, that’s a sensitive question…’
Some people may not realize that asking if you wear a wig is very personal and sensitive. It can also remind you of your hair loss. Suggest that instead of asking, ‘is that your real hair?’, which can be negative and upsetting, they could compliment your hair. Saying ‘I love your hair!’ or ‘how do you style your hair?’ allows for a more comfortable discussion about whether or not you wear a wig.
5. ‘What wig?’
If a stranger or someone with no reason to ask about your hair says, ‘are you wearing a wig?’, you can respond with, ‘What wig?!’. This will likely make them feel awkward, which you can both laugh off, or they’ll realize they’ve been rude and apologize.
People often spot a wig for three reasons: it looks too perfect, has too much volume, or you avoid moving your head. Enjoy your wig, move confidently, and don’t worry about being asked if it’s a wig. Let contact Aldohair for more useful information.
