halo hair?

Has anyone invested in any other types of hairpieces other than a wig? I have 2 wigs which are great for work, but when out at the sports field all day with my daughter, I hate them! Very self conscience when it is windy, it moves around when I wear a hat, gets knotty underneath by my neck and is hot!

I was looking at either a halo hairpiece to wear under a hat, but not sure how comfy that would be? I also found another site (only one though) that shows a halo with a headband and moisture wicking fabric with long bangs/sideburns that can be trimmed, etc and long hair in back to go through a cap. This second option looks cool, but is kinda pricey...

Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Re: halo hair?

I found a baseball cap that had hair, was great for outdoors. The hair is at the bottom of the cap so the top is just cloth, comfortable and a lot less obvious, I even wore it to work one day but being that I work in a medical office probably not the smartest thing I ever did but everyone loved it. I almost hated to part with it but I donated it along with my wig and it went fast so I'm told.

Re: halo hair?

Crb I used one last time and I am using a new one again. I have a more expensive one this time than last time and I liked the one from tlc direct better than the expensive one. It's my go to head coverage.
