I just ordered this pretty lady from Premierlacewigs I'm so excited! I'll have to wait over a month because I ordered a custom cap and translucent lace. The other lace colors never really match, so I'm planning on tinting the lace myself. I'll let y'all know how that goes. It could either be a stroke of genius or a total disaster! ha

I ordered my wig today. Will post pics as soon as I try it on.

Welcome to the challenge
I love the wig you made! The curls are so pretty and the style is so cute! What brand of hair did you use? Did you use a closure or frontal?

Thank you . Everybody think it's my own hair. I even fooled my parents . I originally made the wig long but I decided to cut it into a short style. The brand is Curl Genetics and the hair is called Koily Genes (3c-4a texture). I made my own closure out of the leftover hair but they do have closures you can buy.

Hey ladies
I was wondering those of you who wash your wigs do you use wig shampoo or fabric softener and if you use fabric softener do you have any recommendations for unscented ones?

Also how do you take care of the ends of your straight wigs mines seem tangle easily at the ends ?

have you ever ordered from them before?

I have not, actually. So far so good, though. They didn’t charge extra to customize the cap, which I appreciate. Also, once ordered I heard from their customer service rep to confirm my specifications. I will let you know how the wig is once received!

Check out post #4 in this thread. See the second video. I'm sneaking in here because I am trying to stay off LHCF until after January 2nd, 2018!

Ladies, I need a wig that I can plop on out of the package. I tried to cut a curly wig I had and that turned sour. I have no cutting skills. Lol.

Thank you @Chicoro that helped a lot ima need to go to the store before I go back to work and as long as you come back don't be gone for too long

So, I’m happy to join you ladies on this challenge. I have a few wigs already and when I was wigging it during my transition way back in 2011 I had great results. The biggest thing for me will be to care for my hair underneath the wigs. Plus, wearing wigs everyday will sorta push me to have my whole look together on a regular basis. I’m ashamed to say that since I no longer work full time some days I will throw on a baseball cap and keep it moving

Synthetic or human hair? If you’re looking for human, I hear My First Wig has great beginner friendly wigs. I have a kinky curly one from Hairvivi that is also supposed to be wearable out the box but I haven’t worn it yet.

I thought I was shoulder length but took sew in out and I am APL Natural.

Synthetic. I need to make sure I'm going to wear it before I invest in a real one. Lol.
