An exercise wig that will change your life! 

Exercise wigs? Who knew.  If you are frustrated with exercising in a wig, you are not alone. Fifty percent of women will experience hair loss and 60% of them prefer to wear a wig but exercising in a wig is miserable! Wigs are hot, itchy and often don't fit well so many women are filled with worry.

I know this because I am a bald women and I have met hundreds of other bald women who are frustrated with active wigs. A bit about me, my life changed quickly in the 8th month of my 2nd pregnancy when I developed Alopecia Universalis, total and complete hair loss, in the 8th month of my 2nd pregnancy. I was a very active person - I loved swimming, hiking, weight lifting, & seeing the beautiful sights of San Francisco but when I lost my hair and started wearing wigs I quickly realized that exercise wigs didn't exist.  I never knew how hard it would be to maintain the active part of my life would be but I was determined to not let it. 

The best exercise wigs are wigs that stay on and can withstand sweating and the heat generated by your workout.  After doing some serious research on active wigs, I decided to purchase a marketing silicone wig, called the Gripper Light by Follea. This wig was amazing and promised me a reclaimed active life so I made the pludge & invested the $6,000 to have that life. For awhile, I loved this wig but then summer came and I was so incredibly hot! The inner cap is lined with silicone so it grips the head so it feel incredibly secure but as soon as I started sweating the wig would start moving all over the place. I'll never forgot the time when I was in the hot tub with my best friend and her hubby, my wig slipped super far back and I didn't know it!  My friend and hubby felt too overwhelmed to say anything. I was extremely upset - I mean this wig promised everything but it could handle a hot tub? It couldn't stay secure during a hike on a hot summer day? I mean I lived in San Francisco where it was barely approve 70 degrees.

But, all and all, I did love the comfort and the realistic look of that wig so I decided just use it as a wig and I figured out something else for my active life. At first I did what all bald women do, I purchased a cheap synthetic wig, learned how to use wig tape and called it a day. I was so insanely hot and itchy I could barely finish a workout.. Not to mention my make-shift exercise wig looked insanely fake so I started wearing a trucker hat. Basically, exercising in a wig was awful! So, I started working out at home, bald.

One day, I was prepping my synthetic /vacation/exercise wig and I happen to look up the weather. It was going to be high 80s and 90% humidity - just awful! I looked at my vacation wig and said omg this is going to be awful! I knew I had to find a new solution.  Sadly, I couldn't find it so I decided to design my own workout wig and that is how The Exercise Wig by Encelia was born! Making lemonade out of lemons! 

The exercise wig by Encelia Hair is comfortable, secure and realistic.  It so comfortable you'll forgot you're wearing one! It's the easiest wig you will very wear and women everywhere are loving it! It is a partial hairpiece that is connected to a headband. The headband looks basic but it is exactly made with one of the finest athleisure fabrics in the industry. It moves with you but it has the hold that you need. In short, it is the best head-hugging headband ever! The cooling mesh used in the hairpieces also stretches and is designed to keep you cool. The hairpiece is double-lined so it is very comfortable. The pull cord in the back allows you to easily adjust the tightness on the fly!  It is made with premium, remy ethically sourced human hair that is clean - no silicone or textile dyes have been applied to this hair so you have the freedom to change the color! Our hair is super soft and it's thinner density allow it to move with you.  You can easily pull this exercise wig up into a pony tail, top know or even french braid it and you don't have to worry about your wig coming off!
