Wearing a wig can be uncomfortable not only because it is
unnatural but also because some people have sensitive scalps and feel
the heat when using one. The thought of having the wig flying off from
strong winds or accidentally slipping is another cause which prevents
one from wearing wigs comfortably. That being said, choosing the right
wig construction type will not only eliminate these feelings or fears
but also help develop one's self-confidence.
