Should I wear headgear in BJJ?

If you want to avoid cauliflower ear, yes. Headgear feels awkward at first but you adapt quickly. Some people only wear it when their ears are already irritated. Others never wear it and accept the ear damage. Wrestling-style headgear works fine. It is a personal choice with no wrong answer.
