I just got this 1/2 wig after watching an Ateyaa youtube video, its by sensationnel its called a lace top.....so the part you hook on in the front is thinner than the normal making it easir to blend.

http://www.sensationnel.com/index.html

I think it looks like i got a good weave instead of a wig (because its so shinny) I love the cut and it blends very nicely with my natural hair, and only cost $17.99.

I will try to get a pic of me with it on.

everyone check these out and the video very lovely

Do you know why it's caused controversy? Also, do you think you could possibly please PM the link to those that are interested in watching it? :look:

I have one of these mono front caps by sensationel called Lilac. I absolutely love it, so much so, I went out and bought another one. I am waiting for some more styles to come out that I like in the mono front caps.
 
For the people who wear their hair cornrowed or flat twisted under the wig, how are y'all moisturizing? Just using water based glycerine sprays? I need to get back on it. I've been horribly neglecting my hair. The only reason it's doing ok is the fact that I don't manpulate it for 1-2 weeks at a time. :nono:

i use a leave in conditioner like everyother day i to have been slacking
 
I went WIG browsing this weekend and discovered that Beverly Johnson has synthetic lace front wig that has the lace ear to ear (for only $70) versus the typical lace patch at the crown. The only drawback was that the only style that this BSS had was too short. If I'm going to wear fake hair, I want it to be at the APL or BSL.

Has anyone else seen these BJ lace front or know of another brand that has lace ear-to-ear (or ideally a FULL LACE) synthetic wig?

I use a few sprays. I know my hair likes product, so I will first spray with a braid spray (any kind, can't remember the kind I have now), then I use some kemi-oyl conditioner spray, and then "seal" with my olive oil sheen spray. Whenever I take my braids down my hair is ultra-soft and moisturized. :yep:

For my cornrows under my wigs I have been using some infusium 23 moisturologie shaken up in a spray bottle with Eqyss Premier Rehydrant Spray, some glycerine, Wave Nouveau moisturizing lotion and water. This is a really nice and moisturizing combination. I love it:yep:. I spray it directly on the cornrows and it stays moist for hours.

Once or twice a week (sometimes more) I either spray with water, slather on some Kids Organics Shea Butter Detangling Moisturizing Hair lotion & seal with coconut oil or spray with water and seal with coconut oil. Yet at times my hair just wants some water period.
 
My wig is stiff, how do I make it like new again? I had it for about 2 months, its that the life of most synthetic wigs? By the way the wig is straight and short'ish...

Hey kat, I swish mine in a sink of luke warm water and about 1 or maybe 2 caps of fabric softener, followed by a rinse of cool water, then hang to dry. Do not comb it while wet because you'll ruin it if you do. Just allow it to completely dry on it's own, okay?

I mix my wigs up a bit. I don't always use the ones with combs and I have some that have both combs and adjustable straps in them and these, I don't use the combs. These ones are called mono filament wigs. I really love these wigs because they look super natural:yep:.

My wig for Halloween, I'm debating whether I will wear it after because it's a little wild for me.

Thank you, I normally wear a 1B half wig so this was a big step for me. I'm going to be a black Hermoine, so I needed something a little wavy and with color. I'm going back to get another wig on Saturday:grin: I thought I was addicted to half wigs, but I'm about to convert over to full wigs. I mean how great is it to be able to have a different length hair and different hair color without damaging your own.

I totally agree with the bolded. Sounds like a great costume! I'm a huge harry potter fan. :yep:

Katblack, I've had many of the same wigs since the start of the challenge..some shedding but I shampoo my wigs infrequently. Have you tried a light vinegar/water rinse?

Nope, my edges are thriving with leave-ins and oils on the nape and edges every wig wearing.

Soak it in basin filled with water and fabric softner. Let it completely dry before trying to comb.
 
Ladies,

Do the synthetic wigs by Vanessa comb with the combs or the strap thingy? I may have to cut my hair and will be needing to wear a wig with the strap b/c my hair will be shaven really close to my head.

My wig only has the strappy things no comb.

Don't they come with both? :look: I tend to cut everything off because my hair has gotten caught on thoses little hooks of the strap adjustments, too.
