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.

Where do you get Kinky straight?

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?

You can buy wig clips and sew them on to the lace yourself. They sell wig clips for 1-2 dollars per back at most beauty supplies. Or you can bobby pin the wig down.

This looks very pretty on you!
 
Aww Thank you JBH- I see Bosinse came to the rescue- and she is right you can buy the wig clips at Sally's or the BSS and sew them on where you see fit.

This is what the clips look like sewed on to the lacefront:

Keen I ordered the Kinky Straight lacefront wig from Ebay the name of the store was Growing Upscale Hair. I wore it a LF a few times- but then I made a half wig out of it.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Looks great! Do you use glue or tape for your front lace?
 
Thank you:blush:

Yes, it's synthetic, but the great thing about it is that I can use steam rollers to maintain the curls. :grin:

The lace color is medium brown, pretty much the standard lace color that come with store bought LF's.

I have a wig like this. I like to Hendigo my hair to blend in w/ the black better. I really like this style of wig.
 
I have had a serious mourning period ovah here. I bought about 5 wigs in September because I wanted to sport them for the winter and the next summer.

I cannot wear any of them as a full wig?!?!?!? I am very pleased and terribly sad all at the same time. Please because my hair has grown so thick that I can't get a wig big enough for my hair and my head and sad because I had not mentally wrapped my brain around the thought of truly giving them up. To top it all off this happened while I was in the middle of a big event.

But alas, I still have the one wig I wear as a 3/4 and my extensions for my twists. But SweetG that wig you used as a 3/4 really has me salivating. I don't think I can pull that off because my texture is waayyy to different than the hair on the wig. I would need something that can get seriously kinky.:ohwell:
 
Here is one of my half-wigs for the summer. Courtesy of Miss April aka MuffinisMylover on youtube. I have 4 cornrows underneath the wig. Its so soft and fluffy. Im in love! Mama Magnificence has already placed her order for one.

This is HOT! Once again, the wig photos on the website do the wigs no justice. I love it!
 
This is a full HH wig I purchased from the BSS. It started off as a full wig, but I just wasn't feelin' it, so I cut out a horseshoe so I can wear my hair out in the top. I love it! It blends perfectly. It's not very thick which works really well because it matches the thickness of my own hair.
