She believes in authenticity and never hid that she wore wigs.
Wendy Williams
Wendy Williams is another celebrity who wears wigs in real life. The talk show host has a thyroid disease which caused thinning hair.

Rachel McAdams
Unlike other celebrities on our list, Rachel McAdams doesn’t wear wigs in her personal life but it may surprise some fans to find out she has been wearing for her role as Regina George in Mean Girls. According to Buzz, her gorgeous blonde hair was actually a human hair wig all along!
Keira Knightley
Keira’s wig use has gone unnoticed for 5 years! The actress reveals she has been wearing wigs in all of her movies; “I have dyed my hair virtually every color imaginable for different films. It got so bad that my hair literally began to fall out of my head. So for the past five years, I’ve used wigs, which is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to my hair.” That’s right! Keira Knightley has been secretly using wigs all this time!
Faux hair is common in the show business and we are certainly grateful for people of influence being so open and authentic about their wig use. Challenging the idea that celebrities or people, in general, should be secretive about hair alternatives. Certainly, a reminder for us all that people are not alone going through alopecia and hair loss.
