Forgive me if this has been asked but how are you Ladies managing your hair underneath the wig?
 
Thanks. I think DH is right though and my head is small. The wig cap is touching the tops of my ears and seems a bit too big. but it's too cute to take back :grin:

Oddly enough, although DH hates wigs and always said they reminded him of someone being scalped he is fine with my 3 wigs ---- so long as they are out of sight. I have them in the top of my closet on wig heads and I keep the door closed.

Wigs freak him out but DH was with me when I bought Sarifa. I was trying on a #4 for DH but he didn't like it. Mom's hair is 2/30 or 2/33 so she loves color. She loved the #4 the day before but DH has to see me in it most often so I had him come to take a look at wigs:lachen:
I also tried on a #4/30 which he liked but it's the same Modu # 107 that I already have in 1B/33 so I didn't buy it.

I did have the first one on a wig head and on my nightstand. That didn't work for him. :lachen: He asked me to please move it.

I washed & rollerset my hair. I then added castor oil and then pinned it with a few flat clips. I put on a satin scarf under the wig. The cotton stretch wig caps snag my hair.

Okay you ladies are no joke up in here.

I am a novice and am giving much respect and props to all of you.

Here is my protective style. It is very much like my really short one but this one the curls are much looser and the hair is softer.

This is a whole wig I cut all the adjustment bands out of it, pushed it to the back of my head and used large hair pins to hold it in place. I like that it is a very lightweight wig so I can hardly feel it on my head.

I imagine I could just push it to the front and tease it up a bit when my flat twists start looking a little ragged.

I purchased this one in one of the big wig shops stores down in Lemiert (sp?) Park in LA.

My hubby came home for lunch today and asked me if it was my real hair? He really liked it. :lachen:

Poor baby I keep him guessing all the time.:lachen:

I love that on you, it's so realistic, the curls look just like a roller set on my natural hair!! I really like that idea!! :up:

Poor hubby!! :lachen:
 
The back of my wig is getting frizzy and lost alot of it's shine not smooth like the rest of the wig. How do I get it to go back to normal?

Hey Girls- it is a synthetic lace front. The style is Beverly Johnson- Kimora. I did not use any adhesives. It fits snug- I didn't have to even use the combs.

BJ should just start using mannequins, cause she does her own wigs no justice.

Hey Selfstyled , That wig looks fab!!

I'm online right now tryiing to purchase one. I can't believe how you got the hairline to look so good without gluing it down. Any special tips for that.

I'm wearing wigs for the Winter to help to grow my hair past APL.

This would be great.

Any help would be appreciated.

OMG- thank you! I am wigging it up more now too that it is so cold. The wig is snug- it comes with great instructions , that go over cutting the lace back, etc. I really did not doing anything special at all. I got it from houseofbeauty.com- it was sold out everywhere, but they seemed to have a good quantity.

if the wig is synthetic, take a spray bottle with water and mist the wig with light sprays of water and comb with a wig comb or brush from ends to roots and let air dry.

when dry spray with light oil sheen and that should help :)

I like wearing this wig half-up, or wearing the "hump" on top

LOVE this wig!!! i love the skin part

OT: your siggy had be crackin up!!1 little dude it getting it
 
Got two new wigs today...one is going back though.

Kimora - synthetic lace front by Beverly Johnson

It was to look like this (I did not order from this vendor)
http://cgi.ebay.com/Lace-Front-Wig-...286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:13|39:1|240:1318

but it is far too bushy. I suspect the futura fiber version (which I ordered & as pictured in the ebay listing) is not as bushy. Oh, this wig is $58.99 at ebfhair.com & was $65 - $99 locally so I am not sure why anyone would pay $200+ on ebay.

My Kimora is not futura

I also bought Bali Girl by Freetress - LOVE IT!!!! I have been looking at this wig for weeks and just happened to see it at the BSS tonight when I went to buy Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor. $21.99 well spent & no need for shipping!

Reg's Wife- the Bali Girl looks so good on you- and that is a great price too. I left a message in your fotki about making scalp parts look more real- but I also wanted to share it in the thread....
For the weird scalp color you can get a little paint brush or Q tip and dab with some foundation or mineral powder that matches your natural scalp color.
