Once again, another great review from one of our SW community!
A big cheer for our fabulous customer, Tjalke from the Netherlands, who has done an amazing review for the Rene of Paris Evanna wig. Tjalke is wearing the Evanna in two stunning colours, Ice Blonde and Marble Brown.
Hi, fellow wig-wearers or aspiring wig-wearers! Welcome to my journey to wearing wigs.
I felt like my hair had become too thin, and I didn’t like the look, so I just shaved it off. After that, it was fine – no worries or trauma here – but I did kind of miss having hair.
I wanted something to complete my style – something to mess with.
First, I went to a professional ‘hair-replacement salon’. They suggested a glued-on top piece, but I didn’t want one of those since it would require going back each month (ain’t nobody got time for that!). I wanted the freedom of simply taking it off and putting it on myself.
Instead, they custom made a wig for me. They coloured and adapted it too; it cost me a pretty penny. I enjoyed it a lot, although I didn’t wear it every day. I started experimenting with styling and curling and having fun with it as I had planned; it was my favourite fashion accessory.
After about nine months, I had worn it out, which can happen with synthetic hair (especially if you mess with it as much as I enjoy doing), so I started looking for a replacement. I didn’t plan on going back to the expensive salon since I had grown quite confident in messing with wigs. I knew it was relatively easy to style/restyle, cut and curl a wig (just take small steps), and the amount of online support and tutorials, especially on Youtube, is staggering!
That’s when I decided to go for a Rene of Paris wig.
I now own two Evanna wigs and one Adeline (although this has now been discontinued). The price-quality offset is great, and I like the cap construction.
For male wig wearers, I would suggest skipping the ‘male wigs’ tab and looking for good female wigs with the felt flaps with wire. These are great, and there are so many more to choose from!
There’s no better way to make a wig your own than to have fun and mess with it. You do you; you do extra. There are too many boring people already!

I’m a bald ( hair fell out ,thanks to this wonderful disease of mine!) Straight man, in my mid 40’s And I just purchased, my 1st 2 wigs EvEr! Both of them are rather long ( a 20″male, and 24″female wig) both are synthetic fiber ( fer cost savings) and are long, because until my hair fell out, I had BEAUTIFUL super long auburn hair, that took me 7 years to grow!
My favorite cat of 17 years, keeled over and died in front of me on the 14th of March 2024, and I’ve decided to start a new life, under an assumed name, with a variety of ways to do so at my disposal! I will leave a name with this message, but it won’t be mine ( so to speak)…All of you are very brave, to do something like this, and I say that only because there seems to be some kind of Stigma, about men wearing wigs ( I can’t figure out why?)But, even some of my closest family members have been less than supportive of my decision ( thank God I didn’t mention the whole “incognito “, thing to them!) That’s why its always good, to “test the waters”, so to speak, when offering up information. Thanks for all the advice folks! I’m proud to be a new WIG WEARER!!!
Kenneth its very good to read comments from men too. I love how informative and supportive everyone is.
Sharon. That was so well written and I feel exactly the same. I am a man and I am a wig lover.
The wigs look incredibly natural on you, so much so, that I looked the style up and have it in my basket for when I am ready. I love wearing wigs, would never wish my natural hair back. Its so easy to change colour and style. I have loads more confidence and feel good every day. Much easier than visiting the hairdresser for styling and colouring. Thanks to Simply Wigs for helping to give me the hair I longed for all my life.
Thank you!
Hello. Thank you for your sharing your experience. I have been purchasing and wearing women’s wigs. I feel that many of their styles are also appropriately styled for men to look good in. I really appreciate the affirmations you gave in your article. It’s nice to know someone else views men in wigs can simply look better.
thank you both. It is lovely to share the journey with the ‘boys’ as well. Both have encouraged me enormously.
Big thank you, Tjalke – will give it a go and let you know how it comes out. Any ideas where to get extensions?
Keep having fun with your great hair…
Thanks Olivia!
It didn’t look as great after nine months though… I plan on re-using it at ‘carnaval’ as a pirate beard 🙂
If you’re uncomfortable with restyling, just start with an old one 🙂 you’ll get the hang of it soon enough I’m sure.
Oh and small steps is a good tip, don’t immediately decide you want to turn your Evanna into a pixie cut, it might not work on this type of wig 🙂
