Yesterday I washed with crème of nature moisturising shampoo, applied aphogee 2 step treatment and dc'd with beautiful textures rapid repair conditioner, and then blowdried using cool air and moisturised and sealed.
 
By far my favorite textured wig is from classic lace wigs. Its their Italian yaki silktop glueless unit.
I bought it in November and I've had zero shedding or tangling issues.

I thinned it out quite a bit and cut it to my liking.

What is the most y'all would spend on a human hair, custom made full lace wig? My friend and I went to a place the other day...the wigs were really nice but the wigs start at 600

My cut off is $300 for a unit...and thats once every 2 yrs.
I can get at least 2 years out of 1 so I know I got my moneys worth. That comes out to $12-$13 a month to "get my hair done" vs $150 for a sew in or $65-$85 for a salon visit.

I received my glueless kinky straight wig from Best Lace Wigs yesterday. It is my first custom order wig and I was afraid that I'd do something to mess it up, so the wig is still in the box. Lol. I'm going to take it to my hair stylist to see if she will thin it out and style/cut it.

Ok I lied. I wore my hair in a bun and was over it. Then I tried to wear a wash n go and it shrinked up so tight. I couldn't wear it out! So I just braided myself up and will be back to my wigs tomorrow

Today was CW Friday:
  • Pre-poo'd under my wig at work with AVJ spritz & KJ Naturals Milk & Honey on ends.
  • When I got home, I added Aubrey Organics GPB & HSR mix on ends and AO White Camellia on scalp & length for an hour under a heat cap.
  • Used CC's Naturals Scalp Scrub, CW'd with HH Totally Twisted, Joico K-pak Reconstructor & rinsed out 80% of the Elucence Balancing Conditioner.
  • LOCB'd with L = Annabelle's Honeydew LI, O = Keravada Super Gro, C = Ouidad Moisture Lock, B = Marie Dean Coconut Cream on length & KJ Naturals Milk & Honey on ends.
 
Still here wigging it - wearing my Isis Brown Sugar 103 daily in a pony tail.

I have really settled into this wig life and I love it.

@yaya24 i have that wig and yes it's too bulky. How did u thin it? Is there a YT video that u watched for guidance ?
 
Currently wearing sensationnel tammi.

I love it. It's a perfect summer wig. Not too long and the hair feels very light. I'm just going to wear her for a week and save her for the spring/summer. I'm also thinking about getting a braided wig instead of spring twists so I can wig it all year round
 
As I sit at my desk with a twist out - the only time I've worn my natural hair so far this year I run across this thread. I want to join this challenge (possibly). I don't have answers yet - I will come back soon. I expect to become inspired by the rest of the challenge members.

I've been thinking about a braided wig as well. Please post up if you get one.
 
I am thinking about rejoining but I had some problems last year. If I'm going out I have no problem with the wig looking like a wig but around people I know I like for it to look real and I don't think it does. I've been wearing sew ins but my leave out is suffering
