Napp, girl...looka hea', the hardest days are the first few days. The anxiety of wearing a wig will soon pass. Before you know it, your wig collection will grow and you'll be sporting multiple wigs a week. I'm a wigging beast too just like EnExitStageLeft. The folks at my job kept asking questions so I owned up it's a wig. That was the best thing ever, it took all the anxiety out of it because the truth was out and I was able to move on and be great!

I finally wore a wig I've had like 4 years on Sat and didn't like it much. It's a synthetic lace wig that I cut off all the lace and back comb.
The curls were too perfect and flat. I'm not blending my hair with it, just put the first 1.5 inches in small flat twists. Not trying to manipulate any of my hair until it's time to redo completely so this will have to work.
I combed out the curls so it's more like a curly fro. Looks much better and I used a thinner headband to cover where the wig starts.
Currently soaking my Polly half wig in a mix of condish and fabric softener. I think this one looks better and is more natural than the previous mentioned one. But no one around me knows when I'm wearing a wig since I mainly wear curly ones. Or they're just clueless lol.

Sooo my hair came in from Her Hair Company and it's gorgeous. It's the straight in 18, 20, 22, & 24 with a 16in closure I believe. I was going to add some color to it like one of these two videos below but I'm not so sure anymore. This hair is stunning. This is the longest hair I've ever gotten. I believe my full lace I got 3 years ago was like a 20 or 22in. Anyway I made a full wig out of it and just figuring out what I'm going to do to it. Here's the videos that are inspiring me to color. Here are my pics. Please dont talk about my no make up and fat lol
Did I already show you this video? I either want to color my hair like this

Can anyone suggest a cute synthetic curly lace front wig?
I was using the Freetress Equal "Nari" wig which I like...but...the curls in the front are a lot looser than the curls in the middle and back...and I don't that I can notice the difference in curl pattern
If there is anything else out there I'd like to give it try

shortdub78 and HairPleezeGrow are right. This style is cute and looks great on you. I had the same problem with my curly synthetic wig but it didn't look half a nice as yours before I altered it. I can't suggest a style sorry. I didn't want to buy another one as it took me so long to find a half decent one in the first place (over here it seems good curly wigs are hard to find on the ground). I ended up resetting mine on perm rods. It looks like a twist out on blown-out hair now.

I always look like I was playing in my mother's wig! And she doesn't wear wigs! Lol

Okay guys I just couldn't do the dark hair so I colored it. Heres a pic of the hair this morning very dark and the rest I'm sure you can tell it's been colored lol...oh and I'm loving wigging it so much! I get to play around with the extensions and do things I would not do to my natural hair if I still wanted to keep it. It's so much easier to put on my wig and go. My hands are out of my head so even better. Only oil my scalp at night and dont touch my head until wash day.

I'm at the rehab with my family member and it's like everyone and their momma has a curly wig on lol. A couple looked like they were trying to figure out my situation.
I'm still trucking along in Polly. I really oiled up the area with grapeseed oil where I insert the front comb so it can slide out easily later. The back comb or straps aren't used since my big head doesn't need that extra security. So far so good.
