2017 Wig Challenge

@trclemons Your skin is so smooth and pretty! What's your skincare regimen?

Hello everyone!

I have had this 360 lace wig for about 3 months now. I have been wearing it almost everyday and it STILL looks good (and I will admit that I am not the best at taking care of her like I should lol ). Lately I have been wearing it in its natural wavy state. I am going to repurchase this one again for sure! I thought I would just post an update, as this my first 360 lace wig.

@trclemons Your skin is so smooth and pretty! What's your skincare regimen?

Thank you!

I use Cream & Coco products (www.creamandcoco.com): their cleansers (syrup or soap), a toner, rose water & either a facial serum or a moisturizer. But if I run out of Cream and Coco, I clean my face with Loreal Go Clean Facial Scrub & use an Oil of Olay moisturizer.

@trclemons I didn't even know there was a mommy 5 wig! I have only owned the 1 and the 2. If you have tried a couple, which is your favorite?
When I owned the mommy version 1 wig I was getting complements all day.

It looks great on you btw!

I switched wigs yesterday and I am currently sporting the Janet Collection Mommy 5 wig.

Thank you! I've only worn the Mommy 5, so I can't give a comparison right now. But, I do plan on trying some of the other versions.

I have Brenda, but she looks like a shorter version of Neesha.

@trclemons - let me look up Brenda .

 

[FemmeFatale]

So I'm getting a wig made by a stylist since I didn't want sketchy hair nor my head looking wiggy and crazy. I'm excited and nervous as hell.

 

[beauti]

Still rocking outre jada. I like her so much i will get it in a darker color.

If you don't mind can you please share the details of your wig such as company you purchased from and name/style of wig?

@alex114

If you don't mind can you please share the details of your wigs such as name/style of wig (which ones you ordered if you like them both)?

I have been obsessed with lace frontal wig tutorials lately... I want to try making one so badly but my previous attempt at making a closure wig years ago was so unnatural looking!

 

[natural2008]

I have been obsessed with looking on Youtube at lace front wigs as well. I purchased the Outre Neesha Synthetic lace front and whooooo she is a lot of hair. I plan to flat iron her. How are ya'll making sure your synthetic lace front wigs aren't moving int the front? Got to be glued gel? Also, how are you making sure the grids in the lace at the part doesn't show. I plucked her a tiny bit, have concealer, but I still see the grids. I don't wanna bleach the knots. I saw some on Youtube using concealer, etc and scar away to make the part in the hair look natural. Also, saw some people use tan colored wig caps.

I use either Bobby pins or a wig grip. It's a cloth strip that keeps the wig from sliding. I got it on Amazon. Got to be glued doesn't work for me because I oil my edges.

I use a scar strip underneath the lace and that hides it better than just concealer.

Sorry for replying late!

@PinkDiamond

Here is the link to the one I got

Truthfully this is my first 360 lace wig which I was excited to try but I should have just saved the money and got the lace front or went all out and got the full lace wig. I don't do any styles that utilize the 360 lace lol.

Hey @Kay96 ,

Welcome to the challenge! It's never too late to start. Technically, we cut the wig-wearing season into 2 parts for a single year. From January to March-ish. Then we stop for Summer. Then we start again for Fall. So, I'd say you were right on time.

Thank you, Chicoro. FYI, you’re one of my inspirations (so corny, but I thought I’d let you know).

Aww, that's sweet! I saw that reference to 'lead hairs'!

 

[Aggie]

@Aggie,
Is that you in the photo you posted of the Las Jaden win by Vanessa?

Yes it is hon - just seeing this. That's a gorgeous wig and I think I have multiples of it in my stash .

 

[Chicoro]

@trclemons ,
I'm confused. So on December 31st, are we showing the progress of our real hair? Or, does your note mean that we just need to come in here with any kind of update on 1 of the four dates? There's no [real] hair reveal date for our Wig Challenge, right? Thank you in advance!

Part of your note from the original post:

...Please keep this thread alive with pictures of your current wigs, wig reviews, hair regimen updates, photos of your hair's progress, etc. as often as possible, but at least on:

1. March 31st

2. June 30th

3. September 30th

4. December 31st

I can't snicker at you, myself. I have my own favorite wig, too. I bought (3) of the same wig! It's that red one I posted about somewhere in this thread.
