2018 Wig Thread

[starfish]

I’m new to wigs and have no idea what I’m doing. Based on what I read here I bought the Inna wig from Sams and I like it but it’s so poofy on top. Will the poofiness go away once I start wearing it? Is there anything I need to do to the hair? And how do you know where to cut the lace? I cut it back so you can’t see it, is that what I’m supposed to do? Thanks for your help!

You're so pretty. And I love the wig/turban


Got my wigs.

Outre Jewlery is soooo soft and very light. But I can see a couple tracks but the biggest problem is idk what to to do about leave out
I put out on the wig and am like

These youtubers out here made me believe in miracles

Dominican curly is better. It's cute. And I might be able to wear it without leaveout.

Next wig will be a full wig though

Yes that’s the difficulty with half-wigs. Unless you get one that is similar to your own texture, you will have to do some manipulation to your own hair. You could try stretching your hair in the front with rollers then using a headband to get it to lay flat.

So what wigs are we doing for Valentine's Day?

In the 2017 wig thread I mentioned that I was thinking of purchasing this wig:

It arrived yesterday. I hate it. I absolutely hate it.

I might have to retract what I said above. She is growing on me. I haven’t worn her out yet but I styled her today and decided to see what she looked like again. I like it. I changed the color of the picture because the hair is that awful brown color and I plan on dyeing it black. What do y’all think? Yay or nay?

Looks cute in the pic! I hate the way the natural hair color looks and black will definitely look better.

What length did you get? I’m considering getting it and like the length you have.

My wig for this week. It’s well oiled and laying down nicely. It will be in a bun all week.

I love it!! You did a great job styling and it frames your pretty face so well!

 

[Pygmy_puff]

Ya’ll I done lost my mind. I just cut my edges short so I could have some baby hairs to blend with my wig
No regrets, though. It’s so much easier to style my edges now ​

Anyone in Chicago doing this wig Challenge? I've been to 4 BSS and can't find Sensationnel Inna nor Bobbi Boss Copper. I want to try it on first bc I don't have good luck with wigs.


ETA: I gave up and bought a Vivica Fox wig, Coria in 1B30.

What area/side? I’m out south. I’ll look around for you this week. I’m looking for a few fun color wigs for myself! I’m trying to have some fun this year and play with bright colors the safe way! Lol

You know what, I never thought to get a long wig just for bunning! That makes so much sense to me! Thank you for the inspiration! I think it will be my next purchase and PS.

You rock your wigs so well!
I have got to stop seeing them as a means to an end and start getting playful again. Thanks so much!

Thank you!!! I want to start playing with color but I’ve never really had anything but 1B and brown so I’m not sure what works well with my skin tone.

So what wigs are we doing for Valentine's Day?

High bun, it’s wash week (yes it takes me a week to wash, dry and braid ) and AF is here so Im feeling blah.

 

[sarumoki]

I have this wig Taraji in the same color as this video:

I'm going to re-curl it and that'll be my V-day wig. I'm trying to put myself on a no-buy until my birthday to pay down some debt, so I'm going to try restyling and reusing the different wigs that I already have.

 

[bellatiamarie]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeey boo

Heyyyy there girrrl!!!

 

[ClassyJSP]

It's time for me to order some new wigs the one i'm wearing now I randomly found at my mother's house. I don't know when I ordered it or the name but it's cute for now.

 

[ClassyJSP]

Ordered this wig in two different colors

 

[shanelallyn30]

that looks really good on.

Finally... here’s the starting picture.

And the last two are my favorite way to wear my upart... I’m too lazy to blend my leave out so I just slap a scarf on

Eta.... in my initial post I put that my hair is APL but I recently cut about 2 to 3 inches off so I’m back to SL and may go back in to cut more.

 

[bellatiamarie]

that looks really good on.

Thank you!

Just ordered two straight half wigs and two curly/kinky drawstring ponytails. This is definitely a break from my norm as I tend to prefer not to have any leave out.

 

[Ms_Delikate]

Colodo Synthetic Lace Front Wigs Natural Wigs with Free L Part Wig Cap For Hair Replacement 18 Inches Amazon product ASIN B01LWU9AYB
Ordered this today

@IslandMummy thanks for sharing this recommendation. I got this and I love love love it. It gets tangled at the nape tho so I’m trying to figure out to work with it but the hair texture looks believable. Anymore similar recommendations would be great

I never thought of trying drawstring ponytails before. Thanks for the idea.
I need to figure out my hair color though. I'm not sure if it's off black or dark brown. Guess I need to take a few pictures.

I bought this and cut the lace myself for the first time. I did an okay job, but it was too hot for me in my apartment to fiddle around with it. I got it from a beauty supply store on North Ave and Cicero near Forman Mills. I love that BSS cause they let you try on as many wigs as you want to, unlike the Bss’s on the South Side that I’ve been to.
