COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN…WIG

I don’t usually notice wigs on actors.  Maybe it’s that they’re put on well.  Maybe it’s that I assume that people with full heads of hair would just use their hair.  Maybe I’m an idiot. But actors use wigs more often than I’m aware of, whether it’s cause the character has to have a radically different hair style only for one scene, or because the actor has multiple engagements going on simultaneous that require  different hair styles, or simply because the actor doesn’t want to damage their hair with constant styling.

At Madcapz, we know that some of our costumers suffer from hair loss, and while you may choose a woman’s baseball cap in lieu of a wig (or in conjunction with), I’m guessing both options will have crossed your mind.  So when I see articles about wigs, I tend to assume that they will have to do with hair loss. It was interesting to read about wigs from a completely different perspective.

However, I think how comfortable a person is in his/her wig is an issue that both people suffering from hair loss and actors have to deal with.  The most interesting point in the article was the fact that the writer’s take on which actors felt the most comfortable in the wigs, and how it affected the writer’s view of the performance.  Feeling comfortable is probably the most difficult part of wearing a wig, as well as the best way to make people forget you are wearing a wig.  At Madcapz, we try to make our woman’s baseball caps as comfortable as possible so you will feel your best wearing them.

What did you think of the article?  Did you know all of the actors listed in it were wearing a wig?
