msbettyboop , I've never used a closure before. I always just get a full headed weave. I'm scared that a closure will look so fake. One day I'll take the bite but heres how my weaves usually look.

Thanks. I tried a full headed weave once and I looked deranged. I wish I could find someone who can do it as well as that over here.

Sorry its upside down.



I'm wigging it until January then I will either get crochet braids or a weave. I feel like even in a wig I'm doing to much to my hair.

 

[msbettyboop]

Ok, I changed my mind about weaves. I just took one out and I don't like the way my edges look. Nursing till the end of the year then putting in kinky twists. Has anyone ever self installed kinky twists?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Wig Rules

1. WIG means any full wig, half wig, full lace wig, or a lace fronts (NOT twists, braided extensions or weaves)

2. Wigs are your protective style of choice (most of the time), but you can take as many breaks as you want - just pull it off whenever.

2. You MUST take care of your hair and scalp underneath (this challenge is about progress, not a styling crutch) our ultimate goal is healthy, long REAL hair!

3. Keep in touch, post photos, ask questions, share advice and let us know how you're doing at least once per month!

Also, WIG CHALLENGE works easily with others challenges -- such as the Bootcamp, Deep Conditioning, Scalp Massage, Hide Your Hair, or Low Manipulation, etc. -- since your hair is safely tucked away from daily wear and tear.

*these rules came from the wig challenge 2012
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=14859059&highlight=wig+challenge#post14859059


Braid Rules

1. Your hair can be in Marley twist/braids Sengalese twist, Yarn Braids/Genie Locks, Box braids, etc. Any braids that require weave are welcomed.

2. Lightly oil your scalp and spray in water or leave-in conditioner every few days

3. for washing, dilute shampoo with water and apply with a nozzle bottle

4. Wash braids whenever you need to. (twice a week)
