I need advise on my wig. I wear my wig with a liner but it seems like after 3 to 4 hours after wearing wig I start to itch and I get a headache. Is this normal?

God bless all.

    The wig or liner may be too
    The wig or liner may be too small. My liner was tight and left a red mark around my head and it hurt. Once I got a larger on I was fine.

    The wig fits good. You might
    The wig fits good. You might be right about the liner. I do have a red ring on my forehead. I will try to get another liner.

    Thank you for the advise.

    wig headaches
    Darlene,
    I had headaches from my wig too--even though I had it fitted at a shop. I found my head was super sensitive for a while--a month to six weeks into chemo. Now that I'm bald, I seem to be able to tolerate it much better for much longer periods of time--even up to 6 or 7 hours. Good luck, Cheryl
