WIG WEDNESDAY Q&A / Do You Get HEADACHES Wearing Wigs? / Wigs And Headaches 

This is so true I just started getting tension headaches from my wigs

The minute i watched this i run to the office bathrooms to remove my wigcap. OMG a tight wigcap can literally bring your whole being to standstill!!!Its not even midday&ny head is throbbing! It feels much better now,ill definitely be doing without a wigcap

I've only been wearing wigs a few months, but I have also found that the wig grip is uncomfortable, even when I am careful not to put it on too tight. And wig caps seem way too tight! Luckily I have short hair so I just put the wig on right over my hair. It feels fine that way. Maybe it's risky but it feels secure and doesn't feel like its coming off. So far so good.

This is the thing that is hold me back, I wore a wig ( not tight ) for 3 hours to my Grandsons birthday party and I got that feeling where I was having to ease the elastic the base of my skull was burning , I don’t think I will ever be able to wear a wig for a whole day

Very nice discussion about Comfort Jill! That wig looked so natural and beautiful!

Thank you so much for your advice. I too am a super sensitivity person and I can never wear a wig grip. I find that the pressure of the seam on the front of my wigs cause much irritation. I am saving up for a lace front wig...I have had to wear wigs for two years now and I have to wear them. We should all get together and design a wig with extreme comfort for the super sensitivity person! Adrian

Thank you Jill, would you do a video addressing headaches with toppers please? My topper gives me headaches, I'm also sensitive, physically and emotionally so...any comments you have will be helpful. You're the best by the way! Thanks again.

Hi Jill, Yes I get headaches if I wear a wig all day but not sure if it's the wig or the cap causing it because I've never worn a wig without the cap. Don't know why I've not tried it without before . Take care and have a great day!!!

THANK YOUUU THIS VIDEO LITERALLY HELPS ME❤️❤️❤️

Im wearing a wig grip rn and i just can't! I love the security and the wig but there has to me another easy way.

Yes .. bad tension headache 🤕

Very interesting questions, never thought about getting a headache with a wig but I guess it does make sense. Thanks so much for sharing!! XOXO Sharon

Bless you, thank you for this video!! I truly appreciate it!

Thank you much for this advice, I'm new to wearing wigs, actually it's causing me severe headache in less than 2 hours of wearing it with the wig cap. Also I have long hairs maybe it's too tight when wearing with the wig cap, i'll try wearing it without the cap but i'm afraid it does not hold my hair tight. I've ordered a wig cap of medium size in comparison with the small size I was using. I hope that will resolve the issues. Thanks

Yes, I do! 😩 I’ll try NOT wearing the wig cap. Thank you!

Interesting video! I have always steered clear of wigs for this reason. I wear hairpieces and have a lot of them, but the thought of an actual wig, no. Have a great day!!

Great info,I get the same overly sensitive head,the hair nets made me feel itchy,and with the head break outs even the lace front can drive my skin crazy..i tried to modify my wig grip,failure. I was thinking about something..will post it on your topper post...have a great day

OMG Jill, you and I have many of the same issues. I can't wear a wig grip. So I sew in clips into my wigs to secure. One on each side of my temples and 2 at my nape. Has worked great for me. I don't wear wig caps either, they just slide around and are hot.

My head gets hot 🥵 and I get headaches

Definitely will try without wig grip

Wig grips give me the worst headache! I just use the little snappy clips now & it’s been much better 🤗

I agree about the wig grip....although I do like them for the security and now use the thinner one that has the silicon lines on it. I recently cut what was left of my hair off because I thought it was caused by pinning hair up under a wig cap (and boy do they fit differently). Now I do not wear one and I am anxious to see if it helps. I do have better posture when I wear a wig; I must be more confident. I wonder if it not the little amount of pressure that is at the base of the skull. Thanks for this video

Very helpful

Hi Jill, I'll never forget the first time I wore my wig in public. I was at the grocery store-I had a tight wig cap (nylon stocking) under my wig & got the most horrid headache (almost like a migrane)! My head started pounding so bad & I was getting nauseous! I don't know how I made it out of the store! The minute I got home I pulled the wig & cap off (threw it on the floor) and the headache went right away!! Since then I've been wearing the wig grip band and after two years of wearing it, my bio hair in front is so gross: it's wired, frizzy & can stand straight up!! I'm thinking of wearing the glue - but does that damage your bio hair? (thought really no one would see it - hopefully)! I need the security of the grip band cause I have such a petite head & it would fall right off! 😱 Thanks! I really enjoy all your videos!!! ❤️

i don't know why i always get headache while i wear hair topper... although its very light but still. please help

Hey Jill.. I going to really like the Q & A videos!! .. so my question is do you find that there are wig brands that seem to last longer than others like better fibers? And how often do you wash them?

im about to turn 48. i had a beautiful head of hair once upon a time but after bleaching and coloring it simply wont grow. i really want to take better care of myself and my hair can use a break.. i now realise just how much i could have saved my hair from had i ventured into wigs instead of bleaching but i felt it too taboo.. or ill get called fake.. no.. they are just like any other piece of your wardrobe and im in love with the idea.. im wondering if its because i did not buy high end wigs?.. i started simple.. 3 pieces $20 range on amazon.. wondering if this is the reason.. they fit just fine but after 4 hours on it starts to hurt..educate me please! ty!

I get a headache if I wear certain wig caps. I like wearing the caps because it also serves as a gripper to keep the wig in place but even though they say they are they are not ‘one size fits all’ and I’ve found it hard to find ones that run a bit bigger. Also I use a gripper too (I’ve used it stays as well but don’t like the feel of it) but my concern with the gripper is do they stretch the wig cap? Also since the grippers can be loosened or tightened there is a bit of an extra bulk where it comes together depending on how tight you wear them. I’ve noticed my shoulder length wig has a bit of a poof in the back caused by the excess but don’t know how to really fix that. I always put the gripper part that keeps it together at the middle of my neck. Any suggestions? Thinking of cutting off the excess once I have it sized right.

I don’t get headaches per se, but I do take my wig off as soon as I get home, even if it’s only been on long enough to go to the store not sure why I do that) . I’ve never worn one all day, haven’t had the need to, however, we are getting ready for a two week cruise to Hawaii (can’t wait) and I will be wearing it much longer. Would you suggest using the It Stays when we are outside or my wig grip? Have you ever been in the wind with your wig on? Did the It Stays work? I’ve been wanting to ask you as my trip approaches. Thanks.😊

I have fewer headaches with the lace fronts too. My Tony of Beverly lace front is 100% hand tied. But it seems the lace is more scratchy than the Jon Renau. Is there a way to fix that? It doesn’t appear that it can be cut, as the lace stops very close to the hairline.

I love the security wig grips give, however wondering if anyone out there has found a wig grip that is a light beige as the beige ones I have found are too dark. Plus looking for one that isn't so darn long. Anyone out there in wig land found one?

Hi, I am 19 and I wear wig And I have headaches from weeks do not know if it is because of wig I use wig with glue (ultra hold walker glue) is it what giving me headache or not?
