i feel like attempting a frontal wig but idk if my skills are up for that. The wigs that I make for myself >>> store bought wigs. I did buy a short pixie style wig recently and I want to see if the super short look looks good on me.
 
Picked up this wig from PremierLaceWigs.

I plan on cutting it to collarbone length bob with a slight angle in the front. I plan to rock this as my winter style. I got inspiration from Sarah Hawkinson via Youtube.

I also plan on revamping my Kinky Straight wig I got almost a year ago. I'm going to cut the same way, but I'm going to keep my middle part.. I'm also going to try to curl it similar to how Tamira Jarrell curls hers. I'm really into the messy/polished bedhead look.

Unofficially joining this challenge.

Finally got this wig in 1b, cut the lace and thinned if out a bit today and I love it! Went to order another two and they're sold out.

This wig is so odd it looks different on everyone on YouTube lol. But I decided to wear it with my front out, it looks very natural.
