2015 WIG CHALLENGE

@SuchaLady, I decided to use a dome cap vs. mesh cap for my wig. I have watched tons of vids and think I'm finally ready to sew. Do you sew on elastic after removing the dome cap portion at the lace closure? I see most do. Those using mesh wig caps don't tend to do this, it seems.

@divachyk OMG! I missed this. I'm so sorry :cry: I'm logging on less and less it seems :ohwell: Yes. I know Peakmill still uses the elastic band I'm pretty sure she does it after the entire wig is made.

How is it coming along? What have you decided about our---I mean your hair? :look:
 
Thank you @january noir for your informative posts. I just ordered a stock wig from Eva Wigs. I have a big head so in the future I may need to customize and get a large-size cap and I would like to try a silk top in the future, but I didn't want to wait 30+ days on the first order. I will report back :look:

@SuchaLady not having an app decreased my desire to log on so I understand.

I haven't started the wig. I needed to get other reviews out first. I will start on it this week though.

Our hair lol, not quite sure but a yr is fastly approaching. I am convinced I am transitioning one day and the next I swear I am relaxing it. I am so back and forth.

Ill be completely unPC because I dont care like that....but its overrated. If that offends anyone out there in cyber hair world go deep condition and get out your feelings.

But yeah :look: do what makes you happy! You and only you have to do your hair:)

@SuchaLady, lol yeah no one should be offended. On the real though, my sister has alopecia and I have ben supporting her as she must go natural. Around the same time, Komaza told me I had early signs of thinning so that was all the confirmation I needed to give my hair a break from chemicals also. I recently got a two-strand twist looking wig that mimics a TWA (it's what the vendor wants me to review) and I'm not sure I like what I see w/r/t being natural.
 
Hey everyone...Happy 4th

My hair is braided back down for my wigs. Wore my natural hair out mostly all of this week. Had it braided down on Thursday. Been rocking my 2nd curly wig the past few days. Last night was date night with the hubby so I switched wigs. We saw Terminator then had movie with the girls right after to see Magic Mike. Here's pic of my hair before date night (my son is a photo bomber lol)

I wanted to share my latest discovery on how to revive a synthetic wig. When the ends get nappy or even to avoid this on a new wig, I apply this Garnier Fructis serum to the ends while the wig is soaking wet from washing. I hang it to air dry then run the comb through and VOILA!! its like new again! whenever I have time, I hit the ends with the flat iron and the ends stay silky for a few days.

I used to try to avoid heat on the hair but hey, its heat resistant fiber and its not my hair so I dont skimp on the heat nowadays.
 
I ordered my kinky straight wig and I can't wait for it to arrive:grin:. I am really hoping I like it because I am a little bored and lazy with my hair at the moment and I can't wait to put it away. I'm tired my 2 wigs. I washed them the other day so they are looking fresh again- I rinsed them hard earlier in the year (had some new work folks thinking they were my real hair) but now I want something new.

I've started washing my hair less (about twice a week) and with the current hot weather, I should be sticking to my usual routine. But what I really wanna do is put my hair away and do a bit of intensive baggying again. Oh well...only another 20 days wait(o_O) until newness arrives.
