I'm not sure which wig thread to post to so I'll post to both. I finally got my Simiweave Nathalie. I'm having issues with the wig clips but I'll post pics when I figure it out. It looks like the pic like a really nice rollerset.
I also got my Outre Chandra and it's probably going to be my go to style in the later weeks of a stretch. Here it is. Pls excuse my sleep deprived face.
First here is what it's supposed to look like

And here it is on me

I like this style. I've been going back and forth about buying that one for a few months. I'm going to put it back on my wish list.
 
Okay so I purchased two wigs...a full straight human hair one with bangs...and a curly half synthetic one.

Now here are my issues...

The curly wig is too long and too big. Are there are tutorials or videos on how to remove the bulk from the wig?

The straight wig is human hair and I LOVE it but I think it has a little too much bulk in the crown which makes it look a big wiggy. If the bulk wasn't there it would look more real. Once again, do I need to have it cut to solve this problem?

Also should I go ahead and wash the human hair one? I wonder if washing it would make it look more real. I wonder if there are any products that will make the hair look more Yaki.

TIA!
 
I love my wig, buy my edges do not!​

Any suggestions on how to protect my edges when wearing a full wig?

My daily wig is Twinkle from Hairsisters. No clips - bobby pins only. My hair is in two plaits, pinned in the back. I put something on my edges - ORS Fertilizer, Megatek, or grease, then I tie a wrap scarf on my hair and put a stocking cap over that.
 
I was trying to not buy anything for February but could not find any IRL photos & reviews on the Beverly Johnson handmade collection.

I picked up Amani yesterday....which is seemingly discontinued and no longer on the amekor.com website. Amani was there a few days ago but as of yesterday when I checked, she was gone.

I found this one after looking for something to rock tonight. This was my first time wearing it and I love it. I thought it was too long and wiggy at first and it just grew on me. I just got back from running errands and got a ton of compliments on it. It is definitely Diva and my swag just feels o so right when I wear it. I'm going to check hairsisters out for some more long wigs. I might stop being lazy and blend it with my hair tonight.

This is really cute!
 
OK, I am trying so hard NOT to buy any more wigs! Seeing how great that Outre Chandra looks, though, it's hard not to spend the money....
:chocbunny: My name is Joyousnerd and I'm a wig JUNKIE!


Although I fell off the Wig Challenge and put in a sew-in, lol

I am too but its hard!! I flipped my lace wig to the side so my bangs are on the side and its long in the front again. Its almost like wearing a new wig. Reg's Wife Im glad it worked for you. That video has gotten so many views!!
 
For those not on the wig challenge, I just wanted to post pics of my latest wig


It is a synthetic LF from Sensationnel- called Serena

wow SS that is the most human hair looking synthetic LF I have seen! Some of my co workers are rockin the synthetic ones and you can tell they are synthetic...AND a LF :blush:

This is very nice it looks really pretty on you. I stripped my edges clean trying to remove my LF..smh
 
Awww thanks LabellDonv...synthetics have come a long way. With the new synthetic LF's you do not have to use glue. My edges are weak, which is why I am wearing the LF, behind my hairline.
 
Hi Ladies, this is one of the wigs that I wear, in between installs.

It's by Free Tress, and it is a Shake-n-Go LF wig.Her name is Ashanti:-/ lol.

I purchased it from beautyofnewyork.com.

Yall makin me want to cornrow my locs down and get some wigs for fun lol. People I know would be askin all types of questions though, but I would have no problems tellin someone it's a wig..

I'm just afraid of it looking too fake - cause I won't do the lacefront thing and I can't blend hair with one. Any recs for a realistic looking wig that you just pull on, no blending or whatever? I would prefer something that's not extra shiny.

I have worn a wig similar to that one^^^^. I like half wigs better than full usually but my synthetic lace front I love because it has combs and I can still leave my front edges out and it blends really nicely.



On another note,

I made a new half wig out of my Lace Front- It is kinky straight hair. I did pretty good for my first time making a wig.

Selfstyled

Your homemade wig looks good, but i can't help but notice your pretty skin. Do you have a skin regimen posted somewhere?
 
Portia Thank you so much! I have no skin regimen to speak of at all. I wash with reg old soap with a face cloth. I moisturize every single day with lotion and that is all. I don't do any potions or any of that although I am thinking of incorporating something more since I will be 40 next month.

I think I inherited really good genes. Oh I also take Trader Joes- Hair, skin nails, vitamin and Vitamin D and MSM.
 
Selfstyled, you are really good at picking nice wigs, half wigs and making them look so natural on you!

I just purchased a synthetic lace front which I thought had combs in the front but it does not. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. I don't like glue & tape. Any suggestions?
