It's a pain in the butt to find tho. All the major online stores seem to not carry it.

I am brand new to this so don't want to spend too much money too soon. I think between $50-$70 for my first wig is my ballpark, I'll take lower though.
Looking for:
No Lace
No Glue
Short (Between SL - APL)
Human hair or heat-resistant
Bangs that are not unnatural looking
Any suggestions are welcome. I need something easy and simple, no make up required that I can just pop on and off, and that if it doesn't work out I'm not crying over hundreds of dollars.
TIA

When you say unnatural looking bangs, you mean you want fringe bangs rather than full across?
I don't think I know of any wigs that fit all of your requirements. I can only think of one, but it's $129.
Everything that I know of in your price range is either longer than APL and/or has a full bang. If you're not against cutting either the wig or the bangs there are plenty of options out there. There are a bunch of YouTube tutorials on how to thin out bangs on a wig.
Hopefully someone else will have some suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

No problem! I ended up ordering three pretty cheap wigs from divatress so I could at least get my feet warm and figure out what I'm looking for. One did have the full bangs and one had just a bit of lace. I won't know til they show up what I'm feeling/not feeling so I'll check in when I device.
Thanks for your help!

How often are you washing your hair? Four weeks sounds like entirely too long IMO. I would at least wash every 2 weeks, but I personally wash every 1 week. Your scalp needs to be cleaned and exfoliated, if it's dirty and the follicles are clogged that can definitely cause unhealthy shedding.

Ehh, might have to retire this wig early. I don't think I'm going to bother with long synthetics anymore. It always ends up being annoying. The back of this wig is tangling up something fierce. Though everyone loves it and says it suits me. Also it falls into my face too much. I was hoping to wear this till November but iono if it's gonna last that long. It's only week 2 and I'm wearing it in a ponytail or a bun because it's so annoying. Maybe I should get a quick remi human to replace it?

I have the Model Model Dream wig and the knots don't or won't bleach. Very annoying since I love the wig, but dislike that the knots are so visible.
Thanks. I use to wash my hair weekly while it was still braided...but when I took down my hair it was a matted, shedding mess. Now I try to do every 3 or 4 weeks, and no difference. I don't think the wig life is for me. I don't have it in the budget to get my hair washed and rebraided every two weeks and I can't do it myself I've tried.

I wasn't aware you can bleach knots on synthetic wigs. I normally just add concealer. Can you share your method?

What's the best braid pattern for a side part wig? This wig is a right side part so I braided it parted with hair going horizontally towards my ear and then back. But I felt my hair wasn't as flat as it should be. Should I just braid straight back? But I don't want a lump to be right next to the part

The knots are how the hair of a wig is attached to the lace/netting/base. On a human hair wig, you can bleach these knots so that they blend with your scalp, or whatever you wear under your wig. It allows the wig to look more natural, like how your hair actually grows out of your scalp, rather than seeing the little balls. I'll attach a pic.

Ohhhhhh. Thanks @GGsKin I never knew what that was called.
@TwoSnapsUp Have you tried doing the thing with the scar strips and putting concealer on the underside of the wig?

Yes and it never sticks. Maybe I'm getting the wrong brand? I don't know. I used foundation or brown eye shadow if absolutely necessary but it never lasts the day.

It depends on the lace for me. Does your wig have hard lace or soft lace? I can't remember which sticks better. I think it's hard lace.

How are you ladies letting your natural hair get some air to breathe? I take my wig off as soon as I get home and I sleep with satin pillow cases instead of a scarf.

I wouldn't know the difference TBH. It does feel annoying if I don't lay it right.

I only wear a wig when I leave the house. It comes off as soon as I step in the door. I sleep on satin cases with a satin scarf or bonnet.

Either A Blessing Or A Lesson.
I have been wearing this wig for the last 2 months and I love the way it looks. It's not lace so it can go behind the hairline and blend with type 4 hair. My only issue is that it has 1 small comb in the middle of the front that be holding on for dear life. This wig has given my edges a much needed break but if I buy another one I'll have to sew combs in.
