2016 Wig Challenge

The sew down method is not really working for me so I am going to go back to the regular way …which means I can join this challenge yay!

My question is how do you keep your braids from getting loose/unraveling? That has always been my main issue with taking a wig off every night. 2 to 3 days in my braids are loose and starting to come undone so there is a lot of manipulation when re-braiding.

Braiding didn't work for me, so I put 8 plaits in my hair and pin them down before I put my wig on each day.
 
Yesterday was Shampoo Friday:

  • Pre-poo'd during the day with my AVJ spritz & Honey's Handmade Knot Going Bananas.
  • I applied Honey's Handmade Citrus & Sage DC and went under my heat cap for 1.5 hours.
  • Shampoo'd my scalp with Coco Curls, CW'd my length with Dove Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner, reconstructed with Ion, did an ACV rinse & rinsed out 80% of Darcy's Pumpkin Seed Conditioner.
  • LCOB'd with L = Soultanical's Mane Thick, C = Ouidad Moisture Lock & Treluxe Untie the Knot, O = Keravada Green Tea on scalp, Queens Curls Safflower on length & Sunny Isle Lavendar JBCO on edges & B = Soultanical's Hair Yum on ends.
 
Tonight, I put Dove Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner on my braids, sat under the heat cap for 30 minutes, CW'd and rinsed it out and rinsed out 80% of Darcy's Pumpkin & HE Hello Hydration Conditioners.

I will let my hair air dry for about an hour and LOCB'd with L = Carol's Daughter Monoi, O = Queen Curls Safflower on length, Keravada Green Tea on scalp & Kreyol Essence Orange HBCO on edges, C = Carefree Curls Gold, B = Soultanical's Hair Yum on ends.
 
I was going to buy a new wig, but I will just wear my yaki straight lace since I finally learned how to blend my hairline. Thanks to YouTube
 
Today was CoWash Saturday:

  • Pre-poo'd overnight with my AVJ spritz.
  • I applied Honey's Handmade Citrus Sage and Tropical Carrots & Coconut DCs and went under my heat cap for 1 hour.
  • Used CC Natural's scalp scrub, CW'd my length with Dove Nourishing Oil Care & Honey's Handmade Cherry Almond Tapioca, reconstructed with Ion & rinsed out 80% of Alikay's Caribbean Cocunut Conditioner.
  • LCOB'd with L = Ion Repair Solution, C = Loreal Hydracharge, O = Hydrathermal's Growth on scalp, Queens Curls Safflower on length & Sunny Isle JBCO on edges & B = Soultanical's Hair Yum on ends.
Lola is plaited and happy!!!
 
Tonight, I put Honey's Handmade Cherry Almond Tapioca on my braids, sat under the heat cap for 30 minutes, CW'd and rinsed it out and rinsed out 80% of Oyin's Honey Hemp. I got a late start with my hair and I didn't want to go to bed with a wet head, so I sat under my hood dryer on low for 30 minutes.

Next, I LCOB'd with L = Ion's Repair Solutions, C = Carefree Curls Gold, O = Queen Curls Safflower on length, Hydrathermal's Growth Oil on scalp & Sunny Isle's JBCO on edges, B = Soultanical's Hair Yum on ends.

Then, I put on my plastic cap and did my inversion for 4 minutes and I will baggy overnight.
 
I'm still rocking wigs. I've never owned a synthetic wig till now but I'm feeling shortie do's these days ... finger comb and go.

Has anyone tried Friday night hair wigs? I'm thinking about making an order

I ordered from there a couple years ago. I got GLS 49 and GLS 50. I loved GLS 49 sooooo much. Would def buy that one again. The hair was soft and fluffy. Didn't shed, tangle or matt. I even flat ironed it and it looked so natural. Their packaging was awful but the shipping was fast. I think I posted about it in the 2014 wig challenge thread.
 
What do u ladies wash your wigs with and how often?

Do u take it ofe every night

And where do u get a satin cap/lining for the wig? Does that not make it slip off?
 
I am wigging it up and getting good grow but the take down of my 6 cornrows I am still loosing a lot of hair in the take down process. I wonder if I should cowash every night and Baggie to see if that helps. Or
Maybe I left the braids in to long

I take my wig off as soon as I get in the house everyday. Also, I purchased my satin turban from http://www.samsbeauty.com/service/p...urban&search_company_code=&search_brand_code=. If the wig doesn't feel secure, I will pin it down with bobby pins.

I wear a wig for a month before switching to a new wig. At the end of the month, I:

1. soak the wig for 30 minutes in a sink full of water & some shampoo and swish & dunk it around
2. fill the sink with water and swish & dunk it around to remove the shampoo (I may repeat if I feel like the shampoo isn't out)
3. soak the wig for 15 minutes in a sink full of water & some moisturizing conditioner and swish & dunk it around
4. hang the wig to dry
5. put the dried wig on a wig head

I have fine hair and I lost a lot of hair when I cornrowed even with midweek CWing and nightly baggying. So I switched to putting in 8 plaits & pinning them up with bobby pins. This has worked soooo much better for my hair.
 
Thank u so much

Has anyone gotten their hands on the new silk base lace wigs from freetress. I'm waiting until the 1b is back in stock. They looks good. Hopefully it will do well and they will release more textures and cuts
 
I just ordered a fall from extension plus. That will be my next hairstyle. I need my hands on my scalp. I've noticed some things going on and I think I've gotten it from my stylist.
