2018 Wig Thread

Yes, I think you just need to get the parting space laid down more and then since you're already using concealer that should take care of the rest. Using some more spray should work, and pressing it down for a few seconds with a comb to really get it to hold.. The got2be "glue" is actually gel, glue is just the product name. IMO the gel and the spray work the same but I know some people prefer one or the other.

Thank you so much cause this has been driving me crazy lol
 
I ordered a custom frontal unit from the weaving lounge in the natural hair salon I go to here in Harlem. The stylist used Malaysian body wave in 20” for both the frontal and bundles, and I’ll be having the final fit and customization of the lace done tomorrow! I’m also considering having it sewn down at the perimeter since I’m going abroad for two months for work this summer.

Have you purchased from this vendor before?

Yes I purchased this exact wig in 18”, natural. It came relatively fast by DHL with tracking info and a link so you can ask for item to be left if no one is home. You definitely have to wash wig before wearing. It is a little janky at first because of the layered, but I think I should have separated the waves in the back more when cowashing. Ive only been wearing a week. Understand that by the end of the week, it will be the texture in the pic. A true kinky curly. It is really bouncy. I feel like I have found the first wig that truly mimics how my hair would look if I could grow it that long. Soft lace, but you do have to work one the part and thinning out the hairline. I didn’t, but I understand how y’all are.

I’m no wigologist, but I really do love this wig. I usually only wear wigs for a few weeks, then change up. I foresee this wig being in rotation for a bit. And I foresee repurchasing it. The only thing that may be a turn off is that I will need to wash weekly to keep it detangled. Just like most of our hair, it needs to be styled with fingers only.

Thank you, I brought it at the BSS but I’m not near the package. Here is a picture of me the wig. That line drives me crazy. I’ve tried concealer and nothing works. I just purchased scar away and will see if you hat helps

Try pulling it forward so that it's in front of your hair line. Also try using a concealor/foundation/powder that is the same color as your face rather than your scalp. You may want to clean off what is on there first so that it doesn't get too gunky. HTH.
 
Does anybody... with a larger than average head :look:... wear short wigs? Like pixie cut short?

:lol:

So, I've been thinking... I'm planning on wearing wigs all this year. But if I don't get the growth and progress that I'm looking for by the end of this year.... I will be relaxing and cutting my hair in a short hairstyle :lol: I don't know how bad of an idea this is but hey.... it is what it is and it's just hair and I don't even care any more.

I've worn Freetress Charlie before, which is a pixie cut wig and I have a big head. :lol: It can be done.

Thank you I will try that. I'm just now getting serious about wig wearing and learning as I go. Also, I think I'm more than a side part than a middle part so that is one of my problems.

@MzSwift When you wear your short wigs, how do you wear your hair underneath?
Click to expand...

I cornrow straight back in 10 or more small rows and then crosswrap the hanging ends. I did that with MBL natural hair too and it was pretty flat. I rock a satin mens skull cap over them.

If you know how to braid the hanging tails, that would be even better. GL! :)
 
I have some curly weave I want to make into wig.

Have ya’ll found a wig cap with a lace parting?

I don’t want to use a dome cap.....too hot for that.
 
I don't know if any of you watch Queen Sugar, but the hair color that the aunt has is what I want for my next wig. I will see if I can find a picture because I'm so obsessed with that color.
 
The (official) start of summer is almost here!

I know many of you retire your wigs for the summer but for anyone who wears wigs year-round, what kind of styles do you do?

I'm personally thinking about buying a phony pony or making a bun with some Marley hair. Something that I can use to hide my ends, but still take off when I get home.

This would be a good summery curly wig. If you skip to about 4:15, she mentions the light density which makes it better suited for summer.
 
I have four short wigs in rotation for summer. I think I need to nose dive into this thread!

How long do you plan on wigging it?
  • until the end of 2018
How will you take care of your hair while using the wig/phony pony?
  • cornrow beehive or straight back with added hair. Keeping cornrows for 2 months. Washing and deep conditioning once a week. Care Free Gold spray and oils daily.
Natural, Relaxed, Texlaxed, Transitioning:
  • natural
Current Hair Length:
  • neck length slowly chopping off heat damage. Smh.
2018 Hair Length Goal:
  • collar bone length

I wear a Marley bun.... but I’ve noticed that whenever I slick my hair in a bun my edges start to thin. I’ve been alternating between wigs, Marley buns, and wash and gos.

I bought the extra long Marley hair and made a braid and pulled my hair up and attached the braid... that was cute but I didn’t take any pictures. I’m going to just stick to wigs and head scarves for a while since the buns are too much for my edges. It’s too hot for wigs in Florida but I really can’t put any more damage on these edges.
