girl you have scissors skills. When I went to try on wigs this past weekend girl if the bangs were too long I did not get it. Howmuch hair do you leave out when you wear your half wig?

Thanks I just like cutting hair.:grin: When buying a wig you must remember you got to style style style it to fit you if the bangs are too long, cut them. And if you don't have scissor skills you can always pay $7 and go to SuperCuts with the wig on and they will style it for you. I Only left one one inch in the very front of my hairline out. I sometime will do the hump thing or part my hair to blend in. Options are endless. Oh and I bought my wig at the wig store in the town I live in but you can buy the exact same one at hairsisters.com I think it is on sale for like $17.99? or so. When on that website just type in "instant weave" then look for the pic I posted. Good luck.

My hair has taken a beaten the last 6 months, I am sure it is because of stress and not eating right, so I am am going to start doing the baggie method and rocking my half wigs. I bought about 6 this summer, that I have not worn yet, and my friend sent me some that did not work for her. Off to get my cutting shears and get my sexy swagger back.

PS I am loving how you ladies are styling the wigs. I would never thought to do that, for examples the pinups. I learn so much on LHCF
 
I saw a woman last night with a great looking wig! :yep: It was not obvious, but I'm an expert at spotting "enhanced" hair.

There is no way to give a stranger a shot-out gracefully for a wig or a weave without making them feel self conscious. So:

If you ride the red line and got off at Union Station - Great LOOK work those spiral curls! :grin:
 
Member Liyah started a thread about synthetic lacefront wigs which got buried that I wanted to make sure everyone saw:

I don't know how to link to a thread, so I hope Liyah does not mind the I copied and pasted her original post in this post....

Liyah, THANKS FOR THE INFO! :yep:


Hey all!

I wanted to let thos eof you who wear wigs and have the same problems I have with them being a natural. 1.) Full wigs seem to look very wiggy and too thick. 2.) Falls and Partials don't blend with my hair so if, you have these same problems, I wanted to let you know about some wigs I found.

They are synthetic wigs with just lace in the front. Thanks- Regswife, I was all up in her fotki! I believe she has the Modu IvisiLace Wig, which I like but, I didn't really like the style they had available.

Here are the sites: http://store.goldenmartbeautysupply.com/moinwi.html and http://www.beautynsense.com/3pro/lis...cate_id=010125

They are really nice and a great buy for about $60.:drunk:

I also found some somewhere else but, I have to hold that secret down for a few days so ya'll don't steal my wig.:look:

But, quite a few places online sell Synthetic Lace fronts, even Amazon.

If you have one let me know how it works for you and how much you like it.

One thing I learned is some people have about 1 inch of lace in the front and are sceeming you out of your money so make sure, you ask to see the botton of the wig (flip it over and take pic) and there should be at least 3-4 inches of lace so you can part it however you want.

A member on BHM got one as well and she loved it heres that link:
(Well I can't find it now but, you could do a search on there)

Here is one though, someone is bidding on one here:
http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/foru...asp?TID=153727

These wigs are very cute and I really like the lace option so if you are having the same hair probs as me and don't wear or want to pay for human hair lace fronts, whole lace fronts etc. this is a great alternative.


Hope this helps someone!

I'm trying to stick in this challenge ladies but I haven't worn a weave/wig in a hot minute. I cut and messed up my only remaining half wig. I purchased some Beverly Jonhnson weave clip on but have been too tired/lazy to put them it.

I'm going to try and hang though for another week and see if I can't get those weave clips in my hair for growth and protection. If not, I'm going to have to "peace out" on this challenge. If so, I wish you all HHG and the best of luck. Those weaves/wigs in this thread are looking fly!!!!
 
O.K. heres my 1st wig! Please let me know if you guys like it or not, this is my 1st full wig so any suggestions are welcomed! Please respond because I don't want to rock this to work tommorow if i'm lookin a hot mess!:lachen:

These are Janet collection lace front wigs. What do you guys think? Anyone tried this brand?

I think I'm in LOVE with the curly one...I wonder if I could just pin it on instead of gluing it?

If anyone has this one let me know how you like it. TIA.

Hey Girlie, I like the style, you don't look like a "mess" However you are TOO pretty for that color. It takes attention from your face, The first thing I noticed was the color...and kept staring at it. You'de be better suited with something/color that draws attention to YOU!

HTH:look:

I agree. maybe that same style in a 1b or 2 would be more flattering and allow you to shine thru

They're not real lacefronts. I think they just have some lace added to the cap in the front to allow for parting. You can probably just pin it.

The color is too light. I find that a wig with too much blonde in it washes me out. It makes my skin look paler in comparison so when wearing lighter hair I ALWAYS have to have on makeup. So I would suggest that if you'd like to wear blonde, get a wig with a mixed color. Maybe 1b with 30 or 27 streaks. Or 1b with 30 or 27 at the bottom/ends so it won't be so drastic.
 
Has anyone tried the Beverly Johnson Remy HH wig line? I'm thinking about ordering one but wanted to know about the quality first.
 
Hey ladies,

Everyone is looking lovely in their WIG styles! :grin:

I took Daephee's advise and bought a lacefront wig at a local BSS. They had such a great selection of styles and the wigs were only $70.

I need to thin it out, but I love the hair quality! I'll post photos this weekend! :yep:

Hi Rhlong,

I've never bought a BJ wig, but a local BSS had several style and I thought the qulaity was good. I just couldn't find one in the style and long length that I perfered.

Try to find a local BSS that carries the line (even it if it is not the exact style that you want so that you can see and feel the hair).

Good luck!

I love the style, but I agree that the color seems off! Maybe you can get one with a light brown base and the brighter blonde hightlights. is this a human hair? Can you dye it?
 
My second month of wearing a wig. My cousin who sews it in for me said my hair has grown and was really thick. I have a sewn in wig so when I work out it doesn't fall out. I catch the wigs on sale at the BSS and get it sewn in for $20. It works. The new one is really sexy and sassy.

There are some reviews on hairsisters.com

They only have one wig called Annette...type in Beverly Johnson Remy and select the wig and you'll see the reviews.

Hey Country gal :hiya:

Glad to hear that the "sew-in" method is working with your wig!

Could you tell us more about your regimen? How exactly your hair is braided underneath? How she sew it on? How often you wash and moisturize your hair while having the sew-in? Any other tips?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm thinking about doing this with a lace front wig. I just can't get down with the idea of apply glue to my forehead! :perplexed

TIA, Curli
