2016 Wig Challenge

[Napp]

I'm going to drop this challenge. I seemed to have suffered a lot of damage. I am going back to straightening my hair

 

[Prettymetty]

I deep conditioned my wig earlier with Chroma Captive and Therapiste. Afterwards I detangled it and airdries it. Now the loose waves are back. I wore it flat ironed for a week

What kinds of damage are you suffering from, if you don't mind me asking?

The entire middle of my hair is gone. I had cut my hair evenly around June and all my progress is gone. I don't think my hair likes being left alone for so long. I wore wigs for a majority of the time and when I wasn't I wore a wash n go.

Understood. Pamper your hair and it will recover.

Prepoo'd overnight with AVJ spritz & KJ Naturals Grow It Oil.
DC'd for an hour under the heat cap with J. Monique's Bentonite & Rhassoul Detox Mask.
Shampoo'd with TJ Tea Tree Tingle.
CW'd with As I Am Coconut.
Reconstructed with Avon's Damage Repair.
R/O'd with Blue Roze Strawberry ACV & Suave Almond & Shea Butter.
LCOB'd with Kereinae, Quemet Biologics Cocoa Tree, KJ Natural's Tingly on scalp & Keravada Pumpkin Pie on length, and Alikay Shea Yogurt on ends.

My hair does not like beehive braids, so I switched to 4 cornrows and hopefully this will work better. If it doesn't, then that means my hair does not like being left alone for 2 weeks and I will need to redo it each week.

Ok so I purchased my first wig. It's Tess from Outre. It looks like my hair when blown out. I trimmed it and flatironed it. It's cute for the weekend. I have my eye on one that is shorter in length that I can use during the week.

I'm sorry for your loss. Grandmothers are so precious.

And I like your new cut.

 

[sarumoki]

@HairPleezeGrow Sorry for your loss.

Your hair and makeup are on point though!

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

Thank you ladies. I've been loving the new hair a lot.

I thought I was in this challenge, but it appears not. Unofficially in this challenge then.

Been wearing my hair in a wig since last week. I don't have any hair problems (knock on wood); I'm just lazy with working 2 jobs & the gym...
Planning on wigging during the winter M-F to gain length & thickness.

Anyway, when I take my wig off at the end of the day my hairline itches crazy. I try not to scratch because I don't want to lose my edges. Does this happen to y'all? What are your recommendations?
Thank you.

Do you sweat underneath your wig?

 

[Leo24Rule]

No.
I have my hair braided in pigtails with the LOCB method...then apply a generous amount of castor oil to my hairline

 

[sarumoki]

@Leo24Rule

Hmm. What are you wearing between the wig and your hair? Cap, scarf, etc? And how often do you wash your hair?

 

[Leo24Rule]

Nothing...
Wash every weekend.

No one in here experiences scalp & hairline itches when wearing a wig? My mom says she does & wears a half-wig everyday

 

[sarumoki]

@Leo24Rule If you're not wearing any sort of wig cap then the only thing I can think of is that the bare wig is too abrasive on your scalp. Maybe try wearing a wig cap or a satin band around your edges.

 

[Leo24Rule]

Thank you. I'll try the satin cap
I also wear my wigs for like 11/12 hrs days.

 

[ClassyJSP]

I just placed an order for about 3 more wigs that should carry me into the new year.

I found my old stylist's number so I plan on making an appointment for the weekend to get a protein treatment with a wash and blow-dry then i'll put my wig back on.

@trclemons, will you be starting another wig challenge for 2017?
