New Lockdown Special Edition: Ask the Person Below You a Question!

Do you ever wear hair extensions/wigs?

In my younger days I had a few wigs and hair extensions but have not worn any for decades.
I'm not very good with hot weather and my hair tends to just flatten with heat and humidity, so before I visited my friend in Autralia for six weeks, I invested in a hair piece for evenings.
Very lightweight and so I was able to put my hair into a high pony
tail and attach the hair, looking good in hardly any time at all for meals out in the evenings.
