I love the hair
 
I want to join. I've worn wigs for a year now. I got seven inches of growth in that time, starting from TWA and that was before I found this forum...now I actually take care of my hair under the wig. I think I am going to wear these until I get somewhere between SL and BSL.

I wear lace fronts and do a deep condition every week, then reapply the wig. my hair is 3c/4a texlaxed. I love knowing my hair is protected and growing under there :yep:

That wig is very pretty!! What brand is it? Name?

C'mon...spill the beans! :lachen:
 
Thanks for the compliments:

The hair is a 100% human hair wig tangle free made by HairSense

The name of it is calles Andra and I got it in a #1
 
Hey Ms Cocoface,

Thanks for the how-to guide! Your style looks very naturals and cool!

I ended up cutting my favorite wig to slightly above collarbone length.

It looks good and it ties into how I've been wearing my hair (wig) for months. People at work just thinks that I got my hair cut! :yep:

Hey CD

I am still rocking my short and curlies. I don't think I can handle anything long and near my face right now.

I am changing up my front but right now here is how I am wearing my girlfriend Jetta. If I posted this before I apologize.

It is up off of my neck also and that is great. I am wearing braids in the back and keeping it flat twisted in the front. So far so good, trying to KISS this summer since I am doing a daily cowash.

My front is flat twisted.

Here is my girlfriend - I think this is Jetta from Midway by Dena Cali

I like that it is not long but still have some thickness and looks fairly real.

Bought two of them and plan on wearing them until they are not presentable any longer. :yep:

I cover my back with a silk night cap mainly. The wig caps give me headaches.

And as usually when I am baggying I will just place a plastic conditioning cap on the back and wear it under the wig.

So far my hair is doing really well. I kinda do a semi baggy technique each day because I cowash daily then put my product on then take all the braids in the back and braid them up like this.

The daily cowashing is really making a difference, my hair is getting thicker and I believe some length (it is taking longer to braid this stuff) but I am not going to check until Dec. 08.

Thanks CurliDiva. I usually wear 1B. This time I ordered jet black and plan on using a jet black rinse or henna to match my hair with the half wigs. I've always wanted to try 1B with highlights. Which highlight color do you use?

As for staying cool, I haven't figured it out, but I just keep the hair off of my face. I'm just really happy to get home at the end of the day and take it off.

Hey Jetblackhair,

I alternate between: 1B/33 (auburn) or 1B/30 (lighter brown). :yep: I just make sure that the wig has small streaks versus large chucks of the hignlight color.

I also personally don't get the dark roots/light ends (grown-out) look of some fake hair :ohwell:

Thanks CD, I'm always in conflict of which highlight color to get and I usually end up with just 1B. I think I'll give 1B/33 a try next time.
 
im thinking about trying this one but im not sure what the back looks like. I really wanna try a short style because its way too hot 'round here for me
 
MissTical said:
Hey lady, all the wigs that I wear are shorter than my hair. I've never felt comfortable in long wigs, even braids... although they look great on other people; I'm 5'9" and I don't think that it looks believable on me. ***off topic It's funny how no one questions a short hair do, but let it have some length... and eyebrows start to raise*** back on topic here are a few styles that I rock.

This is a fall

This is a full wig

Does anyone have experience with Beverly Johnson wigs? I see a cute one called Beyonce that I might get for the upcoming cruise...
 
I have a Beverly Johnson wig, it looks pretty good. Mine has a natural-looking "Skin" part. The hair looks like yaki, relaxed texture. I like it.

I want to hear more about how to make a wig from weaving tracks.

It sounds cute. Do you remember the name of your wig?

I have heard of people using a stocking cap and either sewing or gluing the track onto the cap row by row... but i haven't tried it myself.

WEEKEND UPDATE!!!:grin:

I went to an Alicia's Key's concert this weekend in Perugia, Italy and wore my half wig!!!

I braided my hair underneath after moisturizing it. Only my bang is left out in this style. I tried to moisturize that part as best I could.
