My Experience Wearing the Brady Wig by JB Extension
Brady was the very first wig I wore to a wedding, and also the first I wore outside after my recent hair loss. I was nervous. Not just because it was a busy working day (I’m a wedding photographer), but because the wedding was in a very windy location.
To my relief, Brady stayed put. She didn’t budge, and she was surprisingly comfortable to wear all day.

First Wear Video
This was filmed on July 4th 2025, before the wedding, and I was so nervous!
@karenjuliaphotography I was hoping the first outing of wearing a wig for the first time would be something low key, like grocery shopping, or a woodland walk. Instead my first ever time wearing a wig outside is at a wedding. 😅 On a windy day. 😅😅 In a location that is a wind tunnel at the best of times. Not stressed at all. 😅😅😅😅 Grateful to all the amazing wigtok creators who have made the last few weeks so much easier in terms of #research finding something suitable. So much gratitude to you all! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 This model is Brady by @JBextension #jbextension #jbextensionbrady #wigtok #wig ♬ original sound – Karen Julia Photography
The post wedding de-brief. I was so relieved it stayed on my head!
@karenjuliaphotography Post-first wig outing debrief: It survived the wind and stayed on my head & despite the rain, my plastic curls are intact. 🥳💁🏻♀️ #jbextension #jbextensionbrady #hairlossjourney #wigtok ♬ original sound – Karen Julia Photography
I wasn’t sure about the fringe at first. I haven’t had a fringe with my natural hair in years, but it actually gave me more confidence. I didn’t have to worry about my hairline being visible, and instead of focusing on what I’d lost, I started to feel good again. That moment really mattered.
Brady’s short, wavy bob in dark blonde was a huge contrast to my bio hair, which had been long and dark brown. But something about those soft curls made me feel more like myself. And with a price point of around £30, she’s a fantastic beginner-friendly wig. Comfortable enough to wear all day, and affordable enough to try without stress.

Real-Life Wear Test: Brady in a Heatwave
These clips were filmed at the end of a long wedding day. I’d been wearing Brady for over 9 hours in full summer heat, and she held up brilliantly.
Even in high temperatures, Brady stayed comfortable and secure. The fringe helped protect my sensitive scalp from the sun (something I really worry about with thinning hair), and I didn’t end up with a sunburnt parting, which is a real risk if you’re dealing with hair loss.
Wearing Brady gave me peace of mind and let me focus on my work, not my hair.
@syntheticdotstyle Wearing a wig to photograph a wedding for 10hrs+ in a heatwave!! 🥵 It’s been surprisingly comfortable. Definitely more pleasant than a sunburnt head! #tiktokwigtok #wigcommunity #hairlossjourney #bradywig ♬ original sound – Karen | Synthetic.Style
@syntheticdotstyle This was always my worry with wigs: What would happen in a heatwave? Would it slide off? Would I be too hot? Honestly the open wedging is quite breezy, and although it was warmer than not wearing one, I did not end up feeling like my scalp was being cooked like bacon 🥓 so overall – it was surprisingly comfortable. #tiktokwigtok #wigcommunity #hairlossjourney #wig ♬ Open Your Heart – Mark Sunusuke
I wore Brady to several weddings over the summer before I built up the confidence to try styles with snowflake lace hairlines and no fringe. For anyone new to wigs, I genuinely think Brady is a brilliant place to start.
