2015 WIG CHALLENGE

[january noir]

I saw a beautiful lacefront wig in the beauty supply store Saturday. It was human hair and the texture was 4B. Of course they wanted $499 for it. I was trying to find the company's name on the tag to see if I could order it online.

Is it kinky or straight? Sounds like it's nice!

it was kinky, but looked like i did a light blowout. Yes, it was beautiful! And it wasn't too thick or dense. I need to go back and try to find out who makes it.

@BklynHeart
Please share when you find out. I'd love to see a picture. Have you been able to locate another wig online with the same texture?

That is a lot of money but I consider you lucky that you even get nice curly wigs in the beauty supply store where you live. Over here (London) all they have for a curly option is the cray cray looking synthetic wigs with way too much net and not enough hair. You don't even find curly human type 3, let alone type 4.

I am forced into buying over the internet- which sucky for a real life view, but great for price!

@january noir, I've been looking on other sites like Sam's Beauty to see if I can find it on there. I haven't yet, but I'll be in Bklyn this weekend so I'm going to see if I can find it out there. It'll probably be a bit cheaper too, out in Staten Island their prices are a bit steep. I'll definitely let you know if I spot it!

@AbsyBlvd, I know what you mean. I like to see a wig in person as well before I buy it. I also Google to see if anyone has done a review on a particular wig so I can see if I like it.

@AbsyBlvd that's my life on almost everything the forum talks about. Either my area doesn't have it and I must order or I find it and it cost way more.

@divinefavor I have that same wig but it doesn't look good on me.. however yours looks great on you. I'm eyeing the freetrees blossom wig with the swoop bang.

 

[january noir]

I like it @divinefavor! That color and cut is very flattering!

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! I'm going to have to check out the blossom one. The Elise one is a little itchy though, so I need to figure out how to fix that.

Thank you so much! You all have me blushing. LOL! At first I thought it makes me look old, but I'm still going to rock it.

Happy Friday Ladies!

I have so many wigs now and styling them wasn't easy - bending over and what-not began to bother my back. I looked online and found this floor wig stand and it's great! It has a pole that you can adjust so you can stand or sit while styling and applying product to the hair. The wig head stays stable and I can move around from room to room.

 

[divinefavor]

That's a nice tool!! I may need to get one of those.

I want to join this challenge but first I need to find a wig that fits my big head and will help hide some of my fivehead.
You ladies have such beautiful wigs!

Come on aboard! I'm sure you'll be able to find wigs with large caps. If you're willing to shell out the cash for a custom wig, you can have them made to fit your particular dimensions. Some internet wig stores sell large cap-size wigs too.

Today's wig - from Eva Wigs (the Kerry Washington-inspired look). This is in Jet Black, 16."
This is right out the box and bangs cut (they keep it long and you cut it yourself).
I'm taking it to my stylist tomorrow morning for a cut. I want it cut to 14" and more layers.

@january noir do you have a tripod? The kind to use for your camera. You can use that as a wig stand; I use to do it all the time.

No I don't @movingforward. Actually, the only tripod I have is a little mini one that I use for my digital camera (to take pictures for eBay sales).

I'm on maternity leave so I'm trying not to spend too much so I'll start with a synthetic wig for now. When I get comfortable I'll invest in a couple of nice pieces.
