2018 Wig Thread

Hope I’m not stirring nothing up...

But how long do you wear your wigs? My wig mentor melts her lace and wears it for 4 or 5 days. My HUMBLE opinion is that that is not healthy for most people. Especially not for one’s edges. I toss that sucker off as soon as I get home. I did the got to be glued a couple of times but I didn’t like how crunchy my edges got. Now I just use my wig grip and the lace stays securely. I get home, toss it off, oil/spray/massage my edges. Put my wig grip back on and tie my rag being careful not to put too much tension on it. With the wig grip, you don’t need to tie your rag too tight and you sleep peacefully with your rag staying in place most nights.

By the end of the day I can hardly wait to get in the door before I snatch my wig off! I don’t understand how some people wear them for days on end...that would be absolute torture for me!

As to whether it’s a healthy or unhealthy practice, I think it depends on the person and how his or her hair and scalp react. However, one thing I know for sure is that your wigs will last a LOT longer if you take them off every night!

not poodle hair. Lordt. Can you cut it to frame your face??

I will end up doing that. I just hate that almost every time I get a "natural" look wig they look the same out the box regardless of what the photo looks like. The silver lining is that at least since it's human hair it can be worked with.

Maaaaaaan that wig doesn’t last through me walking through my front door.

So box braids under my wigs aren’t working for me. They cause my wigs to sit funny. Back to the cornrows.

sigh

1) I wish they would stop making wigs with all of this mermaid hair. Some of us don't want hair down to our butts. It's gonna be too hot for that soon.

2) Can I find one curly wig that doesn't have a bunch of Easter curls in it?

3) I think I'm gonna half wig it for awhile....those wigs suit me better

Wearing my original fave....Outre Tammy. That wig has yet to fail me.

So I haven’t posted in awhile cuz I’ve been wearing the same wig for months. Now that it’s spring I’m now wearing the mommy wig.

 

[Lymegreen]

super cute! ^^

Thank you . My hubby said it’s his favorite wig .

Another reason to cut the combs out of a wig: so they don't show up on the TSA scanner machine.

I finally made my loose kinky curly wig... it’s slightly too big. That never happens!

 

[bellatiamarie]

This could easily be me one day I will snatch that wig off in a heartbeat as soon as I get in the car. Let me have to stop at a grocery store or some where before going home... I have to remind myself over and over "Tia, put the wig back on before you get out the car."

My cheap aliexpress wig should be here any day now... I hope it's decent because I saw a few of them on that site that I was tempted to buy.

 

[shasha8685]

Just purchased the Outre Dominican Curly half wig....I think I'm really gonna like that one.

Also, why are the only human hair half wigs that I see are straight styles. Those are a pain to blend.

 

[chassiecrane]

I legit have 17 wigs sitting in a container in my closet because I’m too lazy to twist my hair up. I need to do better

 

[MzLady78]

So I kind of want to try a curly wig now that I know how to make the parts more realistic, but they’re all so friggin’ long and volumnous. A lot of hair doesn’t do anything for me.

ETA: found one that might work. Will post pics when it arrives.

I want to try a pixie cut wig again. I had Freetress Charlie in the past and she was cute, but I want one with a part in it.

Those are my favorite style of wigs!
These are my trusty favorites (they're synthetic and don't have a part though):

Sensationnel HZ-A015 (it has a super small cap)

Motown Tress- Bori

Found my own pictures in the Google search, LOL!!

Bori-

HZ- A015

I don't do long or really dense wigs because I want to feel good about the progress of my hair when I finally wear it out again and not underwhelmed. Lol. The pixie wigs help make it a more drastic reveal.

They are both really really cute! I’m especially digging Bori. Even without a part they look so natural.

Thanks! I really like Bori.

 

[MzLady78]

^^^ Yeah, Bori is super cute.

I might check that out when I’m ready to go back to short style.

The weather has been super mild \o/ so I’m getting extra time in my wigs. I scheduled a visit for braids at the end of April (probably pushing my luck but hey) and Jesus! $175. American dollars

Here it is. This is Freetress Equal Flower Blossom. More hair than I'm used to, but I like it. And I didn't have to do much to the part.

I don't know if it's the lighting, but every time I look in a store mirror, my part looks off to me. I'm really big on my wigs looking as real as possible, so it's annoying.

On another note, I would have been chasing this this thing down the street if not for this wig grip. It's windy AF today!

 

[Crackers Phinn]

So many pink wigs in chu'ch this Easter sunday or at least that's what the Instagram pics is tellin me.
