I felt the same about my wig.I felt fake and selfconscious wearing it -not to mention hot and itchy! I basically used it for any night out events when I knew it was only for a few hours.I mostly wore caps,bandanas and scarves.When my hair got to buzz cut stage,I swapped over to headbands which were cooler but still offered security.Infact,I made lots of headbands to match my clothes.You can also fold bandanas down to form a band and tie at the back.You just have to go with what makes you feel comfortable.You'll work it out.
