How important is wearing a wig to the way you feel?
I don’t feel fully dressed without wearing a wig. It might sound a bit silly, but when I put my wig on I just feel complete and I am Helen, not the male person. I suppose the wig helps change my personality.

I agree that without a wig I feel like I am a man in a dress but once the wig and breast forms go on I feel like Glenda and not her male alter ego

With my friends n I its more hair extensions they are amazing its like instant 24″ of long straight hair
but like at a price I guess similar to a wig its real hair but not my own just attached to mine lol -
Afternoon all on TGR, especially my good friends Helen and Glenda
The lovely lacy bra goes on over the attached breast forms, (to coin a nautical term from one of my previous posts), the “mainmast is gaff rigged”, then the matching panties over that, then the wig and I’m Catherine Louise Ryan.
That of course is just the start. Make up, stockings, heels and outer clothing are then a must to complete the picture.
An additional example is when the the panniers go on under the underskirt and thence the overskirt to complete the 1700’s “Lady Catherine” look. In contrast to the usual demure “brunette bob”, “Lady C” must have the blonde Marie Antionette number piled up high wig and the long dangly earrings..
Ah…..bliss…
Regards to all

I have given up any residual male good looks so that I can start the day with a blank canvas for “tuning in” la femme….. I have no hair, no eyebrows. First I chose the wig…… You can-not have to many wigs…… The wig sets the mood. Place stick-on eyebrows to match the mood. Big breast, small breast. Big bum, Small bum. Mini skirt, Skinny jeans …… The wig sets the mood.
I love it ……… it is so addictive -
The wigs that I have owned and worn leave a lot to be desired, they don’t sit right on the head, and frequently bgin to slide off. I’ve never been able to afford a human hair wig which I know is far superior both in looks and wearability. Fortunately, I’m not bald, I have been blessed by the good Lord with a good head of hair and as of recently I have made better use of my own hair. I now have a ‘bob’ which as simple as they seem are not that easy to maintain. As my hairdresser asks, ‘how do you manage the hair? I usually reply ‘as well as most other people’ In that respect I don’t really envy women, a good head of hair is hard work.
She who must be obeyed doesn’t like it at all, considers it a mess and is always telling me to ‘get a haircut.’ To look the absolute best for any event a trip to the hairdressers is a must, much easier than trying to tart yourself up, usually with disasterous results. Since I’ve been on the sick list, the hair is the first to display how sick one has been, lank, oily, very difficult to manage; still I will persist.
You’re own hair doesn’t slip off, nor look lobsided. So, my advice to all and sundry grown your own, if you can’t, shave what you have off, wear a turban and let everyone guess. -
I got lucky with wigs. I went dressed to Swansea to see Tanya (BreastFormStore au) about a new pair of breast forms. She has a good eye for hair that matches your face. She spent a lot of time trying the different options, I left with 2 synthetic Estetica Designs wigs. I now go out in public with a confidence I did not have before……. what a difference. I had a very positive comment about my wig from the Lancôme lady in Myers. Although she knows me it took a little time for her to recognize me.
I like Tanya, she has a good eye for beauty, and keeps her prices competitive. Her hart is in our community.
I’m now looking into wig hair care products to maintain that as new bouncy appearance. Wigs are easier to maintain than your own hair and eliminates the receding, and thinning, hair line problem most men suffer from.
Since shaving my own hair of I have noticed how the stubble left “glues” my wigs in place. My goal is to ride my 1974 RD Yam, that I am restoring, as a woman. Yesterday with one finger on the back of my wig hair I removed my helmet without upsetting the wigs placement due to the stubble This is a pivotal point in my dreams to ride a motorcycle “Que les femmes” (as women)
In another life I was a motor mechanic …….. I love the way “there is a solution for every problem” -
I had the same experience with Tanya at BFS. I went there for forms and came away with forms and two wigs. I was surprised at her range and the low prices. She was way under Darlinghurst. Somehow I had just thought she’d concentrate on forms and carry a couple of wigs for the desperate. Definitely a place to visit.

For those us who are follically challenged
There is no other immediate option.
Buying a wig is one of the baby steps we all take.
Take on the path to whom we wish to be.
These little steps seem big
At the time and are personally empowering.
Yesterday I took a big/large baby step and
Got both ears pierced.I remember the fear and thrill
Of buying stuff in store.
Thrilled when my fear was overcome
And my online purchases arrived.
My first on line purchase arrived,
My hair gave me the person that I craved. -
I also agree
As my head is grow through my hair – I also use wigs – And the first time I found a red wig – The true Kathi was born
So wigs are important to me and so are the colours – Red truly represents Kathi – However for my Goth look I do use black
