hair4romheaven - I did the *exact* same thing when I made my first (and last) wig last year. The trick is to keep the stocking cap on the wig form while you're making the wig, and for up to 1-2 days afterwards if possible. This is so the cap dries to the size of the wig form. I hope this makes sense.

Alternatively, you can stretch the cap out as much as you can with your hands (from the inside of the wig), and leave the wig on a wig form (or stretched on top of large soda bottles...something like that) for as many hours as possible.

trendsetta25 recommended this cap in her last YT video....I plan to use it this weekend on my 2nd homemade wig attempt: http://www.blackhairspray.com/annie-...annie4471.html

I just bought this one:

Can't wait to get it!
 
I just got Sensationnel HZ7009 in the mail. I was trying to decide between that and Beshe Drew. I got this one because I recently did the big chop (after one year transition). We'll see how it works out this weekend! :)

Can anyone recommend a lacefront with a good 1.5-2" of parting? I think a lot of these LFs look so fake because the wig part starts so close to the front of the wig. One of my BJ units has a good amount of parting space but the texture of the hair is like doll's hair. :ohwell
 
Wow, people just love this wig (r and b kim cut into an angled bob). It actually looks best when it's a bit frizzy and the curls have been toussled. A random guy told me yesterday that I have "lovely hair" - he looked completely entranced :spinning: And I've gotten some of the nicest compliments from other women of all races and hair types. I complimented a lady the other day on her straightened hair and she thanked me and returned the compliment, saying "curls like that can't be bought!" :blush: I told her that they, in fact, could. :look:

On the one hand I feel sorta bad (for multiple reasons). On the other hand, after wearing my own hair out during October and having to deal with styling and all that, it's so refreshing to be back under my wig. Just have to spray my own hair then plop that sucker on and my hair is done. It's like a Ron Popeil rotisserie - set it and forget it! :lol:

Belle Du Jour I've heard good things from muffins and others about aplus ozone. from what i remember, it has ample parting and the lace isn't on that rough "i'll cut you" mess like other sub-$100 lfs. The texture was supposed to be good too. I wish they had a kinkier one, personally.
 
I ordered the fiesta wig from modelmodel. I got it on samsbeauty. Anyone order from them before? If so how is customer service? Because they charged my card but online it was saying it couldn't process. They were closed so I left a message but I will be calling and emailing today. Also how long does it take for wigs to arrive?


NM they refunded my money I think ill just call and place my order.
excuse my typos i hate it as much as you.
 
I just ordered the Carmen wig cause I was scared of Fiesta. although it looks great on TONI DALEY on some others it looks a little to LF wiggy for me. Besides I love bangs so Carmen will do me right. I can't wait for her to get here!!!


How are ya'll protecting your edges? When I put those wig caps on I swear they thin my edges out. My edges can't take much. I was thinking about wrapping with a satin scarf and putting the wig cap on top of that. Also how are naturals wearing thier hair underneath? I usually just cornrow straight back but then i have hang time and it usually uncomfortable back there . What do ya'll do?

for edges protection,take all the combs out and use hair pins dipped in oil to secure your wig. also make sure that your wig cap/scarf is covering your edges throughout the day (they tend to ease their way back) and that your edges are well-moisturized/oiled to prevent any breakage. put as little tension as possible on your edges, massage them daily.

i'm natural and i do one beehive cornow for the majority of my hair, a separate horizontal cornrow for my nape, and two looser, but secure cornrows for my front/edges going down both sides (sometimes i do flat-twists to minimize tension; i also have sensitive edges). I tuck all the ends of the cornrows into the beehive.

i think a satin scarf is a good idea. i was actually looking for silk/satin wig caps a while back (i usually just do satin-y skull caps). If I find the link, i'll share it here......
 
So...just for an update, my Sensationnel HZ7009 didn't work. :( Wig cap is too small. I decided to put some crochet braids in instead with the Freetress water wave bulk hair. Blehh. :( This thang is shedding and just nasty... Which reminds me of why I LOVE wigs so much! Now to try Beshe...

I have a feeling you will love the Drew Beshe wig. I didn't like the HZ7009 in fact I wore it once to see what it would look like on me.

Girrrl I take it back! LOL I couldn't take the crochet weave anymore so I cut that thang out on Tuesday night. I did this so my cornrows would still be in tact. I tried the HZ7009 again and to my surprise it worked! So glad it did, cuz I don't have money to be buyin stuff left and right like most of the ladies here. lol last time I tried it, all of my hair wasn't cornrowed down so that was the problem. Here's me wearing it yesterday:

I like to make my own wigs every 3-4 weeks with the 3pc sets, short weaves in a box, and the discount hair and cut and style my own it's way cheaper like $10-15 every month.
