S/Os and DHs that KNOW you wear wigs. What does he say?

[MsLizziA]

So I go by my s/o the other day and he tells me that he had a dream that I told him that I was going back to relaxers and the natural thing wasn't for me n he said he was ecstatic...HA! Well we know that was def a dream...

Anyway when he woke up, he was disappointed to know it wasn't true and then to top it off, I came there with my halfwig on. So he proceeds to tell me that on top of not havn a relaxer, I came to his house in THAT(refern to my wig).

Then he starts to go on this rant about how he don't understand why I wear wigs cuz I'm not old,don't have cancer, not bald headed ...blahblahblahblahblah.

Mind you I have repeatedly tried to explain protective styling to him n he ain't hearn it so I have developed emotions made of steel when he goes on these rants about my hair.

What does your other half say about ur wigs?

My SO knows I wear wigs and weaves from time to time and doesn't care. He has told me plenty of times that hair is an accessory. I think it really has to do with exposure. His sister and mother are stylists and he's sees them go from a short fade to shoulder length hair.

DH likes it when he can "touch my scalp" and prefers my hair over my wigs. But he also understands my hair goal (WL), and has witnessed (with excitement) how much closer to my goal I've come since wearing wigs as a ps. I'll stop wearing wigs as often when I reach my goal, but I still intend to use them when the weather is harsh or I need a change of pace.

 

[priceless2608]

DH doesn't have anything against me wearing wigs/weaves, even though he does prefer my natural hair.

I'm using wigs as my main protective style, and I show him how much progress I'm making each time I take down my cornrows, so he understands why I wear them.

 

[kinkycurlyB]

My SO prefers for me to wear my hair and he has mention not liking wigs. However, he has been noticing how long my hair has gotten so he understands that it is helping me retain my length. And for special occasions, like his birthday I style my own hair just for him, so that he feels that I listen to his feelings about his preference for my natural hair

 

[MsLizziA]

Guess mine isn't the only one who desnt like wigs

 

[Carisa]

dang it seems to me most men don't like weave, which is funny because most of the women i know wear weaves.

 

[aa9746]

DH likes when I wear my own hair. He's understanding and knows why I wear the wigs. I miss my hair but the wigs are working so well.

I haven't ran into one yet who likes weave cuz they can't feel your scalp

When I began transitioning, I explained the whole concept to my SO and told him he probably wouldn't see my real hair for at least two years until I cut off the relaxed ends and grow enough natural hair to wear in a bun. He was more than fine with it. He has no problem at all with me wearing wigs, weaves or braids. He said he doesn't really care what I do to my hair because he'll love me irrespective.

 

[Chiquitita]

I'll have to join the others and say that my DH doesn't like the wigs either. But he is supportive of my hair goals. I wear my hair out on weekends to appease him...

 

[Newtogrow]

I get compliments all the time. Variety is the spice of life

 

[NikkiQ]

My SO doesn't mind at all. We live together and when we're at home, I never wear them. But he knows when it's time for me to go to work or to do a promotional gig I will put one of my wigs on. I was concerned at first b/c he is white and isn't really used to weaves and wigs, but he just went with the flow. Next goal is to get him to actually go IN the wig shop with me, but that's really reaching there

 

[My Friend]

Unless we are playing dress up and coloring.....HE HATES THEM

 

[Poopiedo]

My DH doesn't like wigs and has told me so on several occasions. I make an effort to wear my hair on the weekends because he tells me he likes my hair and it looks nice. DH understands I use wigs as a protective style during the week.

 

[naturalmanenyc]

DH was freaked out by wigs for a long time but he is getting over it. He says they look like someone has been scalped.

DH is the one who suggested that I go natural. I have purchased about 30 wigs, half wigs, lace fronts and he is very understanding of my hair goals. He has even helped me to pick out a wig in the beauty supply store & suggested which wig I take on a work trip.

However, DH still won't touch the wigs at all. I keep them hidden away so he does not have to see the scalped heads. lol lol lol

 

[silenttullip]

He says "I like this one so I picked it up"
I say "um okay thanks" put it on
He says "mmm I don't like as much as this one" another one appears
I say "ok thanks" side eye & put it on
4 months pass " I like that one a lot"
smh roflmao (it's the one he said he didn't like too much"
In other words he says a lot but he buys them a lot too so I just smile and nod lol
I think he likes me in wigs more than I do lol

 

[Carisa]

lol this thread is funny! I guess i would rather a guy tell me he hates the weave rather than my real hair though lol. Most of the guys ive dated havent mentioned anything to me about thier hair preferences.

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

Maybe this is why I don't have a man but why are these men having issues with wigs? I mean my head not yours.Now I can see if it looked bad then that one thing but if it looks good whats the issue.My ex didn't mind as he knew his thought on hair didn't matter and it helped growth..

Same here, the wig is off when I'm home. My best friend's husband is white too and he's supportive of what she does to her hair also.

If he is fully awake, aware and wants to keep a happy home DH says: "That looks nice!"

When he was my SO he told me he didn't like wigs, weaves, hair color etc, etc, etc. Well, I married him in a glue on weave. I've worn half-wigs and just graduated to full wigs. My regular PS is a Phonie Ponie. Over the years I've been relaxed, natural, did a Wave Nouveau and had different hair colors. I've cut it all off and worn really long wigs/weaves. The wedding glue-in was a first, (and last, I prefer sew-ins), for me and a surprise for both of us. Since then before I change anything I always show get online with him to show him what I'm going to do/buy. Wisely his comment has always been the same: "That looks nice!" LOL

He is the only person who has seen all my hair in the last three years. He knows whatever I am doing is working.

Funny story:

My SO is use to my hair changing constantly...from weaves to braids. Recently I decided I was going to try wigs cause I to had a stigma for the longest that wigs were for old ladies who drank a lot of dark liquor...flashback from my great aunt with her piece all askew...anywhu...I knew my SO was opposed to wigs because of his expressions to other women wearing them and I didn't want to tell him about my purchasing one until I knew it was an avenue I really wanted to pursue. We live in two different cities so he had no idea about my secret. I flew home to visit him and I like to shower immediately after traveling so I went in the bathroom to shower and totally forgot about not sharing the secret and took the wig off and threw it on the counter to jump in the shower....I called out to him to bring me a towel and he comes in casually and suddenly starts screaming... almost making me fall out the shower cause I thought he had got shot or something....anyway the wig scared him laying up on the counter like that with him not expecting it....Needless to say he likes the wigs much better on my head than chillin on countertops. lol

IA. My husband knows I wear wigs, weaves, and braids and he is totally okay with it. He grew up in a family full of women and has seen them do each other's hair and change hair styles frequently. He even offers to help me pick out new wigs and helps take down my braids every once in a while.

There needs to be a spinoff thread (if there isn't already) about how we feel about men wearing hair pieces or getting hair transplants? I'm glad to see that there are a few men that are supportive of our wig-wearing, but what if the shoe was on the other foot?

 

[JJamiah]

My hubby doesn't care here nor there about my wigs or wig collection, as long as I wear them and am not wasting money. I rarely at this point wear my hair out because I love the variety of the wigs.

I even have a special one for the naughty time with him

 

[LeftRightRepeat]

my husbands hates any hair that isn't growing out of my head.

 

[Daeuiel]

My SO is only against extremely short hair on me. I talked to him about my transition and explained that I wouldn't be cutting my hair, just growing out the relaxed ends, and that I'd be wearing wigs every day while I did. He's fine as long as I don't come home with a fade. I wear my hair in cornrows and the minute I get in the door the wig comes off anyway, so it's no big deal.

If my S/O wore a hair piece, I would not care. Honestly its not bigga deal to me. As long as it doesn't look stupid, iono care
