Does anyone wear wigs shorter than their real hair on a regular basis?

I ask because I realized that my favorite-wig-of-the-moment is only a few inches longer than my real hair! By the end of the summer, my hiar should be longer. :spinning:


Yes, I do.

I love it and actually receive many compliments on it.

Same here, the one I wear is short and I have about 3 of them.

It is a full wig but I wear it back and do flat twists in the front.

I change up the style of the flat twists in the front most of the time.

Right now I am wearing very tiny ones all going to the back.


Will be purchasing another curly hair wig but this one will be just a little longer, not covering my neck.

In the summer I want everything off of my neck and face.

Yes I have a short bob wig that I wear quite often. I just purchased a few more short ones recently.
 
I didnt even know there was a challenge going on, if i could i would love to join for the 7/8 months left in the year

There were falls on sale at my BSS for $10, but they were all color 4, and i like 1/1b, so i thought i could buy bigen or any permenent dye to color it black.....:nono:Didnt work

So i found info on dying wigs with arcrylic paint or sharpies if it hasnt been discussed all ready http://pinoycosplay.com/index.php?showtopic=1157

I was wondering if these instant lace tops by sensational were supposed to be worn with hair out in the front, and if not did they look real/not to fake if anyone knew


And was also wondering if these wave caps men wear that are satin/spandex/silk were good to wear instead of the stocking type texture or if it would make wigs slide on your head as i thought i read .

It's a full wig. You're not supposed to leave any hair out. I have one but I was a little self conscious about it at first because the hair line looked a little funny to me. Nobody else paid it any mind so I didn't care after while. I had already bought it. I don't think I'd buy another one though.
 
Glamazon is that a wig or your hair in your siggy?

If it's a wig, where did you get it from? Your hair looks so nice.

I hope you don't mind me asking.

This is such a cute look on you, very real looking. How do you secure your flat twists? I would love to rock a look like this for the summer- but not sure if I am too old......

Glamazon- that wig is the business, you wear it well and I love the layers!
 
How'd you put your hair up in the last photo in the wig section of your album? It looks really cute!

I just answered your question in my fotki. At least I tried to! :spinning: Basically, my hair that I kept out to cover the part between the half wig and my real hair is the part that I put up. It is able to work that way because with the half wig that I have the hair at the front of the wig goes forward like a real wig, instead of straight back like normal half wigs that I have seen. I love that about it.

Anyway, I think it's about time to wash that half wig. It's starting to smell "dirty" and it's also getting tangled at the nape. :ohwell: I've been wearing it for about a week straight. The hair is synthetic so I was wondering if anyone had any tips on washing synthetic wigs. I have washed human wigs before with no problem, but I have heard that sometimes it's more difficult to wash synthetic wigs while keeping them looking nice. I would appreciate any tips that anyone has. I guess if things go badly I could always go buy another one, but I'm trying my best to save some money. TIA! :grin:

Thanks doll :yep:
 
I know I am soooooooo late but I'll like to join you guys. I'm planning on starting to co-wash on a daily basis and this would be a the perfect way to do it.

I just ordered a couple of wigs from hair sisters - I hope they look good on me. It is so tricky buying wigs online - I'll post my pics once they arrive.

here are pics of the ones I got:

Welcome talata!:grin:
 
Okay I am in:grin: I just went Yesterday and purchased a nice short cut wig, I recently shaved my head and I need to keep it covered even though it is growing quite quickly lol!! I guess I will put it on and put it in my avitar as my protected style, But I will be re purchasing more as I see alot of nice ones online!! I am growing out my Baldy Head back to Natural LOL!!!!
 
Anyone here make their own wigs or half wigs? If this has been discussed already, please tell me which page to start on. I took down my weave last week and wanted to use the hair and make a wig. I only had the weave in for 2 and half weeks because I felt restricted and wanted access to my hair. I absolutely LOVE the hair and would like to keep using it but as a half wig instead.

I just relaxed my hair and I plan wear my hair out for the week and then back to wigs for a while.
 
Alrighty now..thought I was going to die Friday at work because the AC was not on so I bought two shorter wigs..I call this one my Crazy{sorry Macy} Macy Gray wig..I love the almost napptural look and it feels so cool. I've got to hit the Dominican salon for a twist as my hair beneath the wig is causing the heat, not the wigs themselves. Have to make photo thumbnail, doesn't fit.

ITA, when I saw it in your siggy I thought you flat ironed your hair.

Sorry ladies I haven't been in this thread in a while. Thanks..... There was a whole thread in OT devoted to that hair. :lol: And I've gotten quite a few pms about it. Yes it's a wig. A full head wig. I bought it from the bss near my house. It's human hair and ran me a pretty penny though. :look: It's made by Motown Tress but IDK the style. I bought the one on display because it was the last one they had in stock. I made them take a few $$ off since it was the display wig though. To be honest I don't even like the wig anymore because all the curls have fallen since it's been hot outside. It doesn't look the same to me anymore. :ohwell:

Talata, don't fret..hairsisters has never disappointed me..one I sent back was too curly and full for my head, other wise they are a great place to order.
 
OOOOK, so my wigs finally arrived and I love them. They turned out looking better on me than I feared.
