I hate to say this, but you have got to be upfront about what you like to adorn your hair with. Most men these days still have no clue what goes on with a woman’s hair, and even though most claim they hate fake hair, as long as it looks nice they probably can’t even tell. If it’s one thing that is absolutely clear,it’s assumptions are not your best friend. Fess up early about the fake stuff because it’s truly beneficial for both of you.
I know for me personally I have no issue telling a guy, “Hey just so you know, I love rocking my wigs and weave”, but that is probably because I am comforted by the fact that my natural hair is long and thick. If you are a bit more hesitant about revealing your dirty little secret, try remembering that honesty is the best policy here, and if he can’t accept it, then it/s better that you found out now!
There is absolutely nothing more awkward than that first night you sleep over and you have to figure out what to do with your wig. I remember back when I was still self-conscious about it, I actually kept my old wigs (of the same version), simply just to wear to bed so that I could swap it out and I wouldn’t have to take it off and go to bed with my head looking bare. It’s times like those that make me re-evaluate why I am wearing the hair. Am I ashamed of myself/my hair and hiding it under the wig, or am I just changing up my look, being more flexible?
