If a wig looks fake, there is a possibility of 3 reasons. First one is that it is a fun wig with an outrageous color what we call a glamour wig. Second reason is simply that it is a bad wig either because of quality or age!

We always notice the bad ones but not the good ones.

I heard I should not cook when I have my wig on, is this true?

Well, it is partly true. With a synthetic wig on, you have to be careful if you are close to extreme heat or a sudden burst of heat, such as opening up an oven door as you could singe the ends. However there are other types such as high heat and human hair that can handle heat.
