Hi to all my lovely Crossdresser Heaven Girls!
Today I’ll be covering tips on wigs to include where to buy them, colors to consider, how to take care of them, and how to store them. I’ll be teaching you how to save a lot of money covering all the issues noted above regarding wigs!
First, never go to a brick and mortar wig store to purchase a wig. If you do, you’ll be paying between $100 to $300 for a wig you could have gotten online for between $29 to $69!
My favorite place to purchase wigs is out of a catalog from Paula Young Wigs. The average sale prices on Paula Young Wigs range from those $29 to $69 prices which are noted above. Most of the time, the sale prices of the wigs in the printed catalog are better than those online. However, if you are worried about your wife or SO finding the catalog in the mailbox, you probably need to do your purchasing online and possibly establish a PO box at your local post office where you can have the wigs delivered to in order to keep them out the sight of those who you don’t want to know about your cross dressing. My wife is accepting of my cross dressing now, so I don’t have to worry about getting to the mailbox before she gets there. She also never opens any packages addressed to me and I don’t open any addressed to her as well.
As far as I’m concerned, and I have quite a bit of experience ordering wigs online and out of catalogs. Paula Young Wigs offer you the best bang for the buck. The quality of the wigs, the selection of wigs and colors, and their liberal return policy are all reasons why Paula Young Wigs is my place to go to order my wigs!
I’m a chin-length, bob-cut kind of girl and that’s the style that works for me. It took more than one wig purchase to find what length worked for me. The same may be the case for you. Same goes with the selection of the color of wig that’s right for you. I really like my auburn colored wig with the dark roots.
Your color choice is your own personal choice. I have four different colors of wigs. You may want to choose a color that’s close to your natural hair color or you may want to choose a color totally different from your natural hair color. Look through the catalog and see how various colors and styles look on women with different skin tones, face shapes, eye color, and other physical features which may match up well with various wig colors.
As far as maintenance of your new wig/wigs, don’t buy any of those wig maintenance items they will try to push on you if you order on their 1-800 number. Here’s my money saving tip for cleaning your wigs. I wash my wig/wigs in the shower while taking a shower and I use the over the counter shampoo I use on my own hair on the wigs. I wash and rinse them out in the shower and then towel them off once out of the shower. Then I blow dry them with my hair dryer and shake the wigs while drying them to help add body to the wigs. Just comb them out with a wide tooth comb after drying them.
As far as storage goes, here’s my money saving tip on storage. I bundle up two plastic Walmart bags and then place the ball of bags under each wig and place the wig on its side on the inside of an empty shoe box to store inside my Scarlett closet.
One additional point I would like to make; you’ll more than likely need to do a little trimming on each wig you choose to purchase after it arrives and you try it on a few times. This trimming process is very normal. Just try and trim as little as possible as you go. You can always take off more; however, if you cut off too much, you may destroy the wig. Take your time while trimming your wig. Go slow and take off as little as possible as you trim!
This is a quick highlight-no pun intended, ok…yes it was. I’m sure you have a host of questions to ask me regarding wigs. If you have additional questions, please feel free to send them to me in a private message.
Sincerely, Scarlett

Thanks for the advice Scarlett, I have a few wigs, ranging from £15 up to about £120, the prices and quality are variable, one of my most favourite cost only £25. I king of go for short to mid length as long hair seems to drown me, I have must have a small head lol. As you said keeping with a hair colour that more suits your own for regular wear looks more naturalistic and so people immediately look at you and see the wig….unless it is blue or red, when hey it is a, look at my hair situation.… Read more »
Hi Scarlett, sorry for the second email, I forgot to say, you look fantastic.
Michelle
Thank you baby doll, I really appreciate that and quickly answer both replies now! I love writing these instructional or informational articles to help you girls out! I used to get about 20 to 30 private emails each day with tons of questions from girls wanting to know how I do what I do to become pretty little Scarlett and it took me hours to answer their questions so I started writing this articles to answer most of the basic questions that were being asked of my from all of these girls! I’ve written 8 articles and they are all… Read more »
Great advice Scarlett about wig cleaning and care. I also think that most girls prefer long hair wigs at first but as we age I think the shorter wigs are much more classy and passable since most women over 50 wear their hair shorter and looks much more normal
I think you hit that nail right on the head. You don’t see very many older ladies in long hair at all. It’s just too hard to take care of I bet! I tried a long haired wig only once and it made me look just like a cave woman. So that wig has been sitting at the bottom of our local landfill for over 10 years now! The bob look is the right fit for the shape of my face and I really like it in any color as long as it’s the right length! By… Read more »
Well Scarlett that explains why you are so hot and attractive now.
I’m heading to Paula Young as soon as I say Thank You!
You’re more than welcome, Rei!
XOXOXO Scarlett
Rei, look for the “Shannon" wig. It comes with colors with dark rooted hair you see when you part the wig. You’ll need to trim the bangs and the back of the wig to make it look like the cut I’m wearing. My advice when trimming that wig is to take little off at a time and just keep cutting until you get it right. If you cut too much off, the wig will be headed for the trash. You also want to purchase it from a Paula Young catalog rather then Paulayoung.com. On line you’ll pay $89 for the… Read more »
Thanks so much Scarlett, I did end up ordering 2 wigs from the site, and now every month or so I receive a catalog in the mail, the prices really are amazing and it takes a lot of restraint not to go waaaaaay overboard.
Good for you girlfriend! You’re profile picture is really pretty!
I’m going to have to look up Paula Young. Now concerning the color – you suggest something close to your (my) color – the color years ago or now? Guess why I’m asking.
Go with the wig called “Shannon" and the color that has the words “flame rooted red" in the description and the model # starts with the number 33! You’ll have to trim the bangs of the eight and cut the lenght in the back to make it look like the shape of mine. Just cut a little at a time before you get it right. Don’t hack off lots of length at a time or the wig will end up in your garbage!
XOXOXO Scarlett
Thx! But my hair is gray. I had some red in with the dark brown and it was the first to turn gray! Will my hair show? It looks so good on you. I wish I could smile like that!
No, you’re gray hair won’t show when using this wig so go for it girlfriend. Just don’t pay $89 for it no matter how much money you’ve been blessed with!
If I can ask, did you get the average size. I’m thinking I need larger on my 23″ noggin.
I wear the average and in a fitted baseball hat I wear a 7 and 1/8. However, the average size wig could fit a larger head than mine. My wife tells me I have a big head but it really has nothing to do with the actual size of my head, it deals with my cockyness I have when it comes to head coaching sports teams for over 20 years and only once did any of my teams suffer a 2nd place finish!
How can I get around paying $89 when that is their advertised price?
They always price that wig at $89 on line and never drop the price. Call the 1-800 number for customer service and tell them to start sending you catalogs. You’ll get one about every other week! The prices are always fantastic in their catalog. And they always have special sales. But the only one I’ve found to meet my needs is “The Shannon".
I think I am a “wig-a-holic" I have over 100 wigs… all styles and colors. I love every one of them. Being femme is all about making choices, and the first and most important is deciding on your image. I guess I’m a bit ‘flighty’ in my decision-making, but I love to change my image to suit my mood.
